Correct. As far as support goes, the RN214 only has 90 day free installation support - anything beyond that is paid.
There is one feature inversion - the lower-end RN214's ARM supports real-time 1080p transcoding with plex, but the RN316 does not.
The older RN20x is dual-core (compared to the quad-core RN214), and does not support real-time transcoding.
RN214 specs are here: http://www.netgear.com/home/products/connected-storage/RN214.aspx
