Before the New Year I got a NetGear MR814 Wireless Router. It worked great, then I ran out of money to buy holiday gifts so I rewrapped this Router and turned it into a gift. After the holiday I bought a Netgear WGT624 v3 Wirless Firewall Router so my brother doesn't have to steal our neighbor's signal. But I can't get it to work. And I bought another one...Netgear WGR614 v5. I just tried this router today and I can't get it to work neither. I know they don't have any installation software but I've tried many thing like the one I got before. Also read the manual over and over but nothing helped. I would like to thank you in advance for your answer/s.

"doesn't work" is a hard thing to help fix without a few more details.

When you have it running, try using NetStumbler and see if it detects the access point. If not, then make sure you have it enabled and have it configured properly and are actually showing the SSID. If you have any MAC filtering or WEP turned on, then your client computer needs those settings in place.

After all that if it still doesn't work maybe you just have a bad router...

Is it plugged into cable modem or DSL? If it's cablem modem is the router set to DHCP? Did you reboot the modem after you plugged in the router so it learns the new MAC address? If it's DSL did you make the changes on the router to PPOE?
