I have the WNDR 3700 as well and I could not be happier with it. I replaced an older DLink which was needing to be rebooted several times a week due to lost connections and I have only had to restart the WNDR once in something like 4 months. The 2.4ghz range is excellent and the 5ghz range is...

Or just buy a Netgear Wndr 3700 and save yourself a lot of work.

Small update on my WNDR3700 that I purchased in late March to replace a flaky DLink router. Since I plugged it in and got it going (which was fairly simple), so far I have restarted it (checking records ...) zero times! The only problem I have seen at all is that I once had a problem where my...

The Belkin N+ router is a vertical router and looks like a pretty good buy for about $79. If you want to run it just in G, you can of course! Personally, I would not buy a G only router today, even if I only wanted to run G, since more and more all new devices will have 802.11n.

Well, I can't answer your question about Torrents and QOS, but I can talk to the range of the 3700 in a 3 story house. I have my 3700 in the bottom floor of a 3 story house (in my office). With 802.11G on 2.4 GHZ, I get a 97% signal on the top floor of the house (up in the bedroom) so no range...

Yes, that is what I meant, although I am wondering if I misunderstood what you already have, having reread this thread. I was assuming you already had 802.11G covered with what you have, is this true? If so, than you should be able to just add an 802.11N router to use as an AP and have the...

So, one more question :) Since you say you are looking for a router to use as an access point, that implies you already have a router that will be your main router and this one will piggy-back on that one to extend your network, right? What is your main router? Depending on what you already...

Do you mean "simultaneous" dual band, or just dual band? Personally, I don't understand the use case for dual band other than simultaneous since you have to pick either 2.4 or 5 ghz and use it for everything (as I understand it). I guess it is so you can experiment and find which works better...

Probably would help if you said something about your needs. For example, if you want the router to share a printer that rules a lot out. Likewise, do you plan to put a media server on it? Also, what kind of clients will you have on it? Streaming Netflix? I think the Netgear WNDR3700 is...

Well, decided to try out the WNDR 3700 after months of research. It has more features than I really need, but the thing that really swayed me in the end were the user reviews at Amazon, Best Buy and Newegg. One thing I look at in reviews is the ratio of "1s" to "5s" and this router is running...

I am confused. When I read the reviews on the WNDR3700 on SNB, that router sounds like the best thing since sliced bread and, according to the competitive performance charts the router appears to out perform the 825 by a huge margin. However, when I look at other sites reviews of the router...

Well, based on what you said, it sounds like you will have an N router being used as your main router and DHCP server and another one on G as an access point. That already gives you a lot of flexibility as you have 2 networks and you can (potentially) put the N network on 5 GHz and the G...

I assume you mean the Netgear WNDR3700? Based on reviews (I have been researching both routers for a while now), I think that the Netgear router is superior for straight router performance. DLink has the advantage you mention (printer sharing) and my impression is that QOS for things like...

Judging from your experience with such a long list of popular routers, I think you are going to have trouble pleasing your customer for the router you are building (you)! Good luck!

Have you used the Belkin N+ with a PS3? I have been looking at reviews on the Belkin N+ since you posted this and they are highly contradictory. CNET seems to think it is very good with great range, PCMAG is the opposite. The review on SNB is not too bad and would be better with the current...
