It's a good WAP/router combo . Works very well.Although it's a little slow for intranet transfers.I use it with long (152 and 128 bit) WEP keys and maybethat explains why local transfers are a bit slow.SSID broadcasting can be turned off for both the A and G APs which is a very desirable.The radio signal is strong unlike other APs I've used before.Highly recommended.

Netgear FWAG114 ProSafe Dual Band Wireless VPN Firewall Reviews
Solid Home WAP . I've used the FWAG114 for about 2 years now, and it has performed solidly for me with XP and 95 clients, unlike the linksys WAP that it replaced. As with any wireless access point, some tuning is required to help ensure a clear signal in our increasingly congested wireless world. The FWAG114 provides an easy to use web interface for configuration, and the default settings will work well for many applications. I have a fairly large space to cover, and use 2 114's configured to allow roaming within the space.
The 114 includes VPN tunnel support, which may be unnecessary for many home users.

Netgear FWAG114 ProSafe Dual Band Wireless VPN Firewall Opinions
Owned since June 2004 and not one major problem or issue . For me this has been a sound electronic device running constant for nearly four years now. Solid firewall capabilities, never a reboot other than firmware upgrades, and plenty of configuration options to enable/disable or jackup various features.
No product will ever be perfect and in fairness I have to add my gripes about this one: wireless signal strength varies and at times drops off when I'm outside (router is in a basement) which pisses me off but generally has not problems inside home, management interface is bland and cluttered, a bit expensive but you get what you pay for.
If I could give it 4 and a half stars, I would. It loses one star because connectivity outside and only 75-80 direct feet away should work without 50/50 chances. Again, the FWAG is in a basement so going up one flight and out the front door (or through the concrete and earth) is probably tough for such a little signal wave. Nonetheless, I've been very happy with it!

Great Product . I highly recommend this product, which can be used with their other NetGear connectivity products (PCI cards, etc) as well as Centrino-based laptops seamlessly. Everything works right out of the box, first time!
Cons Review
Simply does not work . I have owned Netgear FWAG114 for over one year and have had repeated problems with random drop outs of service. Like a previous reviewer, I have had to reset the AP at least once a day for it to resume to work. At first, I thought it was my cable service; however, when I switched to a different router, I have absolutely no problems. I have updated the AP with the most recent Firmwire and have purchased several to test them. Unfortunately, they are all lemons and the problem lies within the AP itself.
DO NOT BUY IT!!! . I've owned this unit for a week and I've had to reboot it over a dozen times. My experience with Netgear's FWAG114 is apparently the rule rather than the exception; message boards show many people face this problem. Things like VPN are worthless if you have to do a local reboot twice a day; Netgear is irresponsible for selling this product. This is a very expensive product that I would think Netgear would want to work. Why they would stake their reputation in part on a product they know doesn't work is simply baffling. In short, the fancy specs obfuscate the fact that it just doesn't work. The Netgear FWAG114 is ultimately a glowing example of "too good to be true."
