Tip: The power adapter and cord shipped with the WGR614 limits the distance from an
AC outlet. To overcome this, consider using NETGEAR’s POE101 Power Over
Ethernet Adapter with a Category 5 Ethernet cable like the one included with your
WGR614. This adapter sends DC power through an Ethernet cable to enable you to
power your router in a remote location.
