I have now attached a WNR1000v3 to my Superhub to cover the 2.4GHz band (whilst by Superhub covers the 5GHz band). Most 2.4GHz equipment will either be G or N on a single spatial stream as battery powered kit needs to think about power conservation. In such cases an N150 router is all that is needed and as a bonus will trigger short guard intervals at 72meg mode on one channel and 150meg mode on two. As such, it will be even faster than the Superhub (or any N300+ router) when communicating with single spatial stream kit.
The WNR1000v3 is basically the WGR614v9 with a new colour scheme, N150 speeds and WPS + radio on/off buttons. Oh, and a guest network facility and QoS as well. It shares the same external colour scheme and user interface style with the Superhub (both being Netgear) and is a great compliment to the VM supplied Superhub.
The WNR1000v3 remains very sturdy and reliable as a wireless access point, never needing a reboot and giving good range.
Just so you know, the WGR614 quality is still available from Netgear.

I didn't realise it had a descendant at all, so thank you for this information. I strongly suspect I shall be ordering one next paycheck, provided I have no unexpected expenses
