Review on Enhanced Netgear FR114P Firewall Cable/DSL Router with Print Server by Marc Salem

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Great product and easy installation

I have three computers at home, two of which I built myself. I needed a way to share my internet connection, share files between devices, and share a printer. I had a D-Link router that worked fine, but my main computer had to be up to print. I didn't like it at all. So I decided that I need a print server. After looking at many "standalone" print servers, I decided to just swap out the entire router. I never bothered with the D-Link I had. It was difficult to set up and the boxed instructions were terrible. When I received my NetGear router, I opened the box with fear in my heart. I remembered how difficult it was to set up D-Link and expected setting up NetGear to be just as horrible. I was completely surprised. The instructions were clear and concise. I went through them step by step and the router was up and running in about 10 minutes. What a relief! Then I proceeded to set up the print server. The supplied CD contains step-by-step instructions for installing the printer port and setting up systems. I got the print server up and running in about 1/2 hour. I've been using this router for about two months now and have absolutely no complaints. I download a lot and installing a router hasn't negatively impacted my speed. The print server is reliable and downloads jobs from any device and then prints each job effortlessly with no hassles. I highly recommend this router.
