Do you want the extended range and speed that the new Draft-N with MIMO routers provide but don't want your office to look like the antenna farm at SETI? Then the WNR3500 from Netgear is just for you. This sleek box has three pre-tuned antennae hidden away inside the housing. The front panel has discrete indicator lights in the pattern familiar to Netgear users while the back has color coded RJ45 ports for LAN and WAN connections, plus a power port. This makes physical setup fast and easy.
You've gotten the hardware set up, now what? The Smart Wizard installation and WiFi Protected Setup connects and secures your network. Push ‘N’ Connect technology lets you easily connect to a secure wireless network at a press of a button, so there is no need to remember your security password.
Now that you've gotten it set up it’s time to enjoy speeds up to 15x faster with 10x greater coverage area than Wireless G. The QoS algorithms prioritize data transmission for high quality streaming of HD video, gaming and VoIP calls.
Pros: Draft N. Vista Ultimate X64 compatible. The ability to set up wireless security for both WPA and WPA2 simultaneously which is good for older wireless cards that don't support WPA2. SPI firewall. Easy setup (didn't use the CD), downloaded current software/drivers from the website. The lights (although bright) will inform you when there is a wireless connection. The ability to turn the lights off. The Netgear wireless software is much more informative than the Windows Wireless 0 configuration. Wireless Access List capable (I recommend using it for an added layer of wireless security). Good wireless coverage (I live in a 4,000 sq ft home and the router consistently maintains 95% signal strength at the farthest point). 1 Gbps LAN speed for fast network file transfer. Stable. Checks for firmware upgrade automatically when you access the router, which you can disable and do manually,, if you so desire. Runs warm, not hot when heavily used. Attractive exterior.
Cons: None at this time. Time will be the true test.
Other Thoughts: One of the other reviewers stated no firmware support through Mozilla Firefox...I have no problems with upgrades through Firefox 3.0 browser. I have 1 desktop PC(Vista Ultimate X64) hardwired connected, 1 desktop PC (Vista Ultimate X32) connected wirelessly using the Netgear WN311B PCI wireless card, 1 ASUS EEE Box (Windows XP Home Version) hardwired connected, 1 HP laptop (Windows XP Pro) wirelessly connected using the Netgear WN511B Wireless N PC card, and 1 Dell laptop (Windows XP Pro Business) connected wireless using internal 54 Mbps wireless card. All are connected simultaneously and I have had no problems.

Pros: I have used Netgear for years. The only reason I buy another router is to increase speed and range. My WNR3500 has worked flawlessly. I also have four laptops (3 PCs and 1 Mac) connected from time to time along with 4 wired PCs. Three of the four wired PCs are Gig capable, but I can't really tell Gig from 100Mb in my applications. The wireless is amazing when downloading or transferring data.
Cons: None at this time.
Other Thoughts: When others talk about poor customer service, I can't comment except to say that I have never called them. I have had installation problems, but I knew how to fix them because they were the common problems such as firewall blockage. I have had five Netgear wireless router models and I keep buying Netgear because it works. The WNR3500 is no exception. If this router went bad after a couple of years, I would buy another one. Nothing lasts forever and it is always on.

Pros: Sleek design Great range Gigabit awesomeness Easy to install without the CD (if you know what you're doing) Same GUI of my last Netgear router Remote Connection just for the router
Cons: None I could find. People complained about the wireless not working... Again... if you know what you are doing... You can make almost anything work. People just jump to conclusions real quick instead of troubleshooting equipment and trying things out.

Needs some serious attention from netgear
Reviewed By: Mike on 9/20/2009
Tech Level: high - Ownership: more than 1 year
Pros: Gigabit switch works great. Decent price.
Cons: Firmware abandoned by Netgear. Uses very outdated dnsmasq binary for dhcp and dns with severe security vulnerabilities. (it was years outdated before the router even came out!) Do not buy if for a business as it will not pass PCI compliance. Wireless AP, UPnP, DNS and DHCP unstable and crashes a lot requiring a reboot to get them back. Do not use with a PS3 using the North American firmware as that will instantly crash the UPnP daemon on it. It will still work for network connectivity when that happens but you need to load the international firmware for that to be fixed since Netgear just stopped supporting it half way through the release of the updated firmware.
Other Thoughts: Unable to use more stable/updated aftermarket firmware on it from places like DD-WRT and OpenWRT because it uses a marvel chipset. And since Netgear has abandoned it you will need something else if you want reliability out of it. If you are only interested in wired connections and you don't have a PS3 or need to use in a business environment that processes credit cards to where you need PCI compliance. Or care that you have to reboot it all the time. This router is for you.
