    It's at the bottom of every review e.g. look at this: http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wireless/wireless-reviews/30925-start-your-buying-netgear-wndr3700-reviewed and scroll to the very bottom.

    When I click the view all user reviews button at the bottom of an article it just sends be back to the front page. Aren't there more reviews or is the site just purposely hiding them?

    For me it was just as disappointing as stock... but slower.

    WNDR3700 2.4 Ghz vs. 5 Ghz Performance

    I'm talking about local network performance. People with other routers have mentioned better speeds because they have a better connection at 5 Ghz. Why are you talking about 22 Mb/s plus, this is 802.11N not 802.11G. I can download and upload wirelessly at speeds well beyond 22 Mb/s on my local...

    WNDR3700 2.4 Ghz vs. 5 Ghz Performance

    No I am just measuring the transfer rates that Windows 7 reports... however when I consistently see that 2.4 ghz is outperforming 5 ghz for file transfers in windows, why would I need extra software to tell me what I already know? Could finding my real IP layer speeds suggest that the laptop I...

    WNDR3700 2.4 Ghz vs. 5 Ghz Performance

    I was wondering what kind of speeds you guys were getting with 5 Ghz when you're near to your router compared to 2.4 Ghz. Recently when my laptop was ~2.5m in range without barriers I decided to compare the performance of 5 ghz vs. 2.4 ghz. Consistently I found that reading from my connected...

    Just thought I'd post the current performance results from DD-WRT vs. Stock for myself: Some people are reporting potentially better results than the stock, but it's also possible that they don't actually remember the results.

    Which is actually faster: WNDR3700 or WRT610N?

    Both, I'd like to see sustained speeds over a longer period of time e.g. 20 minutes. It's quite possible that the router will some how get bogged down and start to slow down after a certain amount of time. An example of this is that I've used Windows 7 backup on a desktop computer with the...

    Since WMM should be enabled on the router, should we also enable it on our adapters? All Intel cards seem to have the default setting of WMM as off.

    Is it better to have router on auto channel or to manually select?

    Currently I have a WNDR3700 router and I notice that sometimes the signal strength dips for no apparent reason (from 81 mbps to 11 mbps according to Win 7). One possibility might be interference, so I was wondering what selecting specifically does and if it is recommended. Will the router...

    Computer stuck at 54mbps on 802.11n network

    I do have WPA2-AES enabled.

    Computer stuck at 54mbps on 802.11n network

    Apparently after reinstalling the drivers it at least recognized the connection as 802.11n. It's also reporting that the speed is 300 mbps, but I'm guessing the d-link driver doesn't know how to report the rate properly. It also turns out that the antennas aren't that great. When I placed the...

    Computer stuck at 54mbps on 802.11n network

    Hello, I just purchased the WNDR3700 router and am managing to get up to 300 mbps on my laptop when it's close and 135 mbps on average. However my desktop in the same room with a DWA-552 wireless network card is stuck at receiving 54 mbps when connected to the same network. I specifically...

    Which is actually faster: WNDR3700 or WRT610N?

    I realize that SNB does reviews, however their transfers seems to be only 1 MB in size compared to sending files that would take a while e.g. 500 MB. Can the people with experience from either post their WAN results from one computer to another? While the WNDR3700 does well under theoretical...
