No problem with eMule. The only bug I saw was a date/time bug (used for logging) which seems to be hardware related. Check the Netgear forum at dslr.com.

Maybe it's because I'm only using the wired portion of MR814v2 mostly, but I'm don't have a problem running BitTorrent (ABC) + eMule + Winny at the same time. I also have an NNTP client (BNR2) up most of the time and this thing will pull 4-5mbps at times.

My D-Link 614+ on the other hand would reboot frequently.

It's not just MR814. Most of wireless router/aps suffer this problem. I think I'm going to try Zyair next time.

I have it and have high download up to 4-5Mbps without a problem, on the wired side, now from where I use Wireless I top off around 4Mbps with 128bit WEP. I have not had to do hard reboots, I also have version 2. I have not seen that problem with either of the Versions, I have installed quite a few.

I get 3mbps with Comcast cable - wired only...been having problems lately, though I think its Comcast, not the router.

When I run Sheild's Up I have one port that is not Stealth. Is this normal? Also, do most of you usually run with or without firewall software?

I've been running one one these for about a year without problems with a Dell TrueMobile 1150 (Agere/Lucent/Orinoco). More impressed with the card.

FYI - the rebate is good for specifc multiple venders

use a cantenna and you'll have no problem with any card.
Although Orinoco Cards (rebranded as Agere Systems, Dell True Mobile, etc) are BY FAR the best cards.
