The Netgear RT314 has a rugged metal case and feels more like a commercial router than a home unit. The Netgear also includes the CAT-5 connector cable in the box,which is not a huge deal, but is a nice addition.
The software and instructions that come with the unit are somewhat minimal, but I found the setup pretty straightforward - and I'm not a trained network person. I wanted to be able to run two computers off the same cable connection and this router lets me do that with a couple of added benefits. My connection is actually faster than without the router, and I have the security of a firewall. I had planned to buy firewall software, but for a little more money I get the router, firewall, and 4-port switch all in one slick unit.
The one thing that I wish were different is the power adapter. The one that comes with the Linksys unit has a grounded plug while the Netgear comes with a two-pronged block power adapter. Luckily I had room for the block, but I would feel more comfortable having the unit grounded.
All in all, the RT314 works beautifully.
The below review was done soon after hooking up the Netgear. Since then I've had nothing but trouble (read my latest review).
----------------------
I've got 3 computers. It took 5 minutes to get the Netgear out of the box, hooked to my cable modem, and all 3 computers hooked to the box and running on my new local network! It uses a web interface which was very easy.
Further, it understands that some cable modem providers are trying to limit you to one computer -- the setup screen automatically asks if you want to spoof you MAC address to ensure you can have multiple computers behind your new firewall.
Opening ports for Web and FTP servers, as well as Netmeeting, etc. was also very easy. (Make sure you upgrade the firmware to 3.22, mine shipped with 3.20, which doesn't have as many features via the Web interface).
Excellent!
Cheers,

I have had the RT314 for two weeks. I set it up in about an hour, established a VPN connection with my office immediately and that connection has been live since then.
I know that ease of setup and advanced features are nice. My previous router had them both, but what you really want is a piece of network equipment that you install and forget because it is rock solid. The last thing I want to do when I get home is screw around with networking equipment or worry that my work email won't work when I need it.
The RT314 is a capable piece of equipment that performs its job very reliably. I recommend it.
