CNET Review
The Good: All-in-one device for wired and wireless networking; easy setup; inexpensive; abundant security features; three-year warranty.
The Bad: Disappointing performance; lacks some high-end features.
The Bottom Line: A bona fide networking Swiss Army knife, the CG814M does it all, cheaply and simply.
