You're right.. It's 614v3.

I solved the problem.. Rather simple solution when you think about it,
but Netgear told me it couldn't be done.

I simply removed the WAN connection. I used the device as a dumb-hub.
 IE, plugged the LAN side into my linux gateway and static IP'd
everyone.

There isn't any way to do it using the LAN and WAN connections.
