Actually, the VM 614v9 is identical to the standard Netgear version in hardware terms, only the firmware is different. Perhaps you chaps are getting crossed wires and misunderstanding each other.

It is possible to swap the old and creaky VM firmware for the standard Netgear firmware at no more risk than you get when flashing your motherboard firmware, actually less risk really. Note that VM won't offer phone support for it if you do this.

I still use mine like this with my Superhub to get dual band wireless.

Search for my old posts to find out how. It is not hard, the risks are minor and far less than you take when crossing the road. Some here would have you believe you will be struck down by lightening if you do this, but fortunately God favours the brave and the foolish in equal measure.
