    Tomato on R8000

    I just got a new R800, upgraded from a R7000. Using Tomato 1.38. Seemed to be OK at first, used the same settings as my R7000, but not as fast as the R7000. After a few days, started getting really slow. I'm only running one of the 5ghz radios. wired and wireless is overall slower and jumping...

    NAT Filtering: Open vs. Secured on Netgear Routers

    it's a bit tricky with two. Just forward the Xbox live ports on your gateway, or to each MAC address that uses Xbox live https://kb.netgear.com/19844/Why-does-my-Xbox-say-NAT-is-set-to-strict-or-moderate-when-I-try-to-play-online?cid=wmt_netgear_organic

    Asus RT-AC68U wireless bridge not working AsusMerlin

    All I did was switch the mode to "media bridge", gave it the IP that I had already reserved on my gateway (Netgear R7000), selected my 5 ghz network, and hit apply. Now somehow the Asus has a random IP address way out side the range of my gateway and not the IP that I gave it (but it does show...

    DIR-655 Very Strange Problem!

    probably best to disable uPnP and just manually forward all your ports.

    Wndr 3700, 37av, 3800, 4000 -

    I'd consider the Linksys E3000. Based on my research and my personal experiences with the WNDR3700, TrendNET 691 and some others, the E3000 with Tomato is by far and away the best router of the current dual band/gigabit switch crop. If you do not need gigabit ethernet but need dual band...

    netgear 3700 firmware

    You may feel the Cisco E3000 is a "toy" for business use but it performed 100x better than the WNDR3700 in my environment both with DD-WRT and Tomato. For home consumers that want a dual radio and gigabit switch there is really only one router that's implemented it successfully and that's...

    WNDR3700 performance

    I had much the same experience you did. Except that when I put my old TEW-633 back in and things were back to normal. I'm considering trying a WNDR3700 again with DD-WRT. What vendor did you get yours from? Is there more than one hardware version?

    DIR-655 vs. E3000 vs WNDR3700

    Good. I wish I could say the same thing. I certainly wouldn't ever consider updating the firmware as you seem to have gotten the only version that works. http://forum1.netgear.com/showthread.php?t=52899 And based on what I've seen your experience is the exception not the rule.

    DIR-655 vs. E3000 vs WNDR3700

    I didn't draw any conclusion beyond my own experience which is totally valid. If you don't like it don't listen. I've owned and endlessly tweaked two of the top three simultaneous dual band consumer routers on the market right now (both with stock and DD-WRT). So I feel I have a better idea...

    DIR-655 vs. E3000 vs WNDR3700

    I've owned two of the three router you have listed. The WNDR3700 I owned in April was a buggy mess. The firmware "update" used to address those issues from Netgear was an utter disaster. To put it mildly, downlink WAN to LAN throughput was BROKEN. If you read the Netgear support...

    Cisco Linksys E3000 High Performance Wireless-N Router Reviewed

    I recently picked up a E3000. I have 3 wired devices and 3 wireless devices on it most of the time. All are wireless N, one is 5 ghz N. Anyway, I haven't been happy at all with the performance so far. I was downloading on soulseek, and I logged onto WoW. After about 5 mins, I was...

    WNDR3700 slow 2.4 GHz performance and no GUEST network

    The Netgear forums are full of people having this same issue. I just got the router this weekend and also had extremely slow 2.4ghz throughput. I did several side by side tests with my TEW-633GR with indentical conditions and came up with the same results you did. I could not get more than 1...
