Netgear RangeMax WNDR3700 Dual Band Wireless USB Gigabit Router

lots of features

Strengths: wireless N,gigabit speeds, multiple ssids

Weakness: cannot connect on other ssid if mac filtering is enabled(why have a different ssid to connect other clients if mac filtering is global???)i wanted a secure ssid for my use and open for guests.

I stand behind this company , i set up their routers exclusively on installs, but i was a bit disappointed in the first one I got of this model. Seems the lower end stuff is more reliable...2 months into my replacement and it has been fine,maybe just a defective one.in addition the tech support is helpful, but they will exhaust all options before accepting an rma. I had to go back and forth 4...

I stand behind this company , i set up their routers exclusively on installs, but i was a bit disappointed in the first one I got of this model. Seems the lower end stuff is more reliable...2 months into my replacement and it has been fine,maybe just a defective one.in addition the tech support is helpful, but they will exhaust all options before accepting an rma. I had to go back and forth 4 times in email before getting an rma.

Poor Connectivity for large loads

Strengths: Easy to manage

Weakness: Flaky dropped connection issues, check support forums before buying. I've been working through the updates and still no joy,

My situation may be unique with over 18 devices but I'm pretty knowledgeable about this stuff and still can't figure out why various client wireless n adapters drop. Biggest problem is with the Linksys wmp600N and an RALink based adapter in one of my lenovo laptops.

Set it and forget it

Strengths: trivially easy setup, runs forever without resetting, very very fast, requires very little power when idle, very good documentation, extremely good range

Weakness: too many bright flashing LEDs for the bedroom.

I bought the WNDR3700 and a similar Linksys router at the same time with the intention of testing both and returning the less desirable one. The WNDR arrived first so I setit up first. I was so pleased with the setup process and the performance that when the Linksys arrived a couple of days latter, I didn't bother with it.

I bought the WNDR3700 and a similar Linksys router at the same time with the intention of testing both and returning the less desirable one. The WNDR arrived first so I setit up first. I was so pleased with the setup process and the performance that when the Linksys arrived a couple of days latter, I didn't bother with it.

I have connected wirelessly 2 desktops, 2 laptops, 1 netbook and a Blackberry with absolutely no issues. Amazing! My experience with older wireless routers has always been frustrating. My main computer desktop is a new HP with win 7 Home, the second desktop is an old home made PC running WIN XP pro. One of the laptops is an old Dell Inspiron with WIN XP pro, the second laptop is my business DELL Latitude and the Netbook is an HP mini 100 running WIN 7 Starter. I have had all 5 computers accessing the internet simultaneously with little apparent reduction in speed. With the exception of my business computer (because of company security restrictions), I can easily access all of my computers from any computer using remote access.

I live in a 2 story wood frame house with a basement. The router is on the second floor. I have a strong wireless signal everywhere even in the basement.

Because of the outstanding performance of this router, I will be integrating a wireless media player for my big screen LCD HDTV (probably a Netgear product).

Great Router

This is a great piece of equipment. It was easy to set up, works very well and has great clarity and signal. Updating the firmware is a bit of a pain, but it's manageable. I recommend this even though it's more more expensive than some others.
