Buyer Reviews :
I've been using the MR814 with an Orinoco Gold PC Card and a Netgear MA101 USB wireless adapter for the past few months and am more than satisfied with the range on this router. The Orinoco comes with excellent wireless link analysis tools, and from what I've seen, going through 2 walls at about 80 feet, I've been getting excellent connectivity. The antenna is detachable, an excellent plus, but I found the standard one more than adequate.
As for the router itself, there's no firewall protection (aside from NAT), you can't block specific ports, and the interface is horribly oversimplified and poorly arranged (like a completely separate category called 'Security' solely for DMZ settings - here's an idea, call it 'DMZ settings'!). If you do get this product, make sure to install a software firewall on your computers as well (like Agnitum Outpost or ZoneAlarm).
The only other gripe I have is that I can't seem to find a way to disable wireless broadcasting, but if you want great range from a wifi router at a very reasonable price, it's a great solution.
