Netgear WNDR3700v3?

[grillhead]

I am considering the Netgear3700 and see on their site that there is now a v3. Any ideas as to the difference from v1 and v2?

Avoid the WNDR3700v3

Unfortunately, the WNDR3700v3 is significantly inferior to the v1 and v2. It is also a *completely* different design. Here are some of its limitations:

WDS only works at up to 54Mbps.
WEP only works at up to 54Mbps.
It cannot repeat on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz at the same time.
There is no open source firmware available for it.

On the bright side, if you just need a dual-band AP with NAS, it has great range and works just fine with WPA2. Otherwise, if you want a simultaneous, dual-band router with full features and NAS, get a WRT610N.
