I have a triple booting laptop (I run a computer group for older people, I am old myself) with a Netgear WGR614 Router. The 3 OSes are WinXP, Vista Home Premium and Windows 7 Ultimate. The router has been set up and works OK with Vista and XP but when I try to access it with Win 7 it asks for a password which I supply and it is the same password I use with the other systems, yet I get the message that the password is wrong. I have tried setting up a new profile but nothing I do helps. ???
If you find the time please help, I would be very grateful.

I believe the original Netgear WGR614 Router drivers that come from the CD aren't compatible with Windows 7, depending on router version.
You can check here:

Under 'Windows 7 Status for NETGEAR Routers'
If your using router version 9 or older (should be labeled under the router or on the box) you have to update the drivers from there website, if available.
WGR614v8 (Windows 7 Drivers):
ftp://downloads.netgear.com/files/WGR614v8_CD_230-10379-06v1.5.zip
WGR614v9 (Windows 7 Drivers):
ftp://downloads.netgear.com/files/WGR614v9_230-10609-08v3.6.zip
WGR614v10 (Already compatible)
Also 64bit Operating Systems will not work with older CD Drivers.
See if that helps first.
