NETGEAR WNDR3700-100NAS Wireless Gigabit Open Source Router/ USB port Rangemax 2.4/5GHz Simultaneous N600 Dual Band IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n, IEEE 802.3/3u/3ab

Pros: Wasn't too hard to setup
Lot of features
Haven't had to reset it at all

Cons: The wifi on it is not very good. My old linksys had better signal.
Applying settings takes a really long time compared to my old router.

Other Thoughts: Overall it's a pretty good router, I didn't want to have to but I ended up having to use my old router as a wireless extender since the wifi on this router just isn't that strong.

Pros: Fast, when in range

Cons: Range is not as great as the 2wire modems from ATT. I though that paying for a premium route would give better range than the free router Att gives out

Other Thoughts: I recently switched from dsl to cable, and had to get a wireless router since the cable company only provides a modem.

Pros: Works extremely well while it works. Quick setup, easy sharing of router-connected hard drive

Cons: Didn't work for long - stopped assigning IP addresses within weeks of purchase. The replacement stopped powering on altogether after a few months. NetGear customer service is torturous to deal with.

Other Thoughts: My original WNDR3700 (v3) worked for roughly two weeks. After that, computers and devices could connect to it, but could not reach the Internet. In fact, I could only even reach the on-board setup software via WiFi - a direct ethernet connection would return nothing at all.

I spent, without exaggeration, five to six HOURS on the phone with NetGear Customer Service, as they made me jump through every increasingly-ridiculous hoop, including making me go through the step of calling my ISP to accuse them of denying access to the router's MAC address (which is a plainly silly idea), before finally issuing me an RMA, for which I (of course) had to cover shipping.

Fast forward two to three months after receiving the replacement router, and it suddenly, without warning, simply stops powering on. No LEDs, not even a blink, nothing. Confirmed the AC adapter was able to power other devices, but no go with the router. Now, it seems that I may have to pay NetGear $40 just for the pleasure of spending another six hours on the phone, best case scenario. Worst case scenario, my refurbished router is not covered in any way, and I'm out of luck after only three months of actual use.

I'm satisfied with giving the product one egg because it really does work quite nicely when it works. I'd just think hard about whether you want to roll the dice on how long it'll last.

Pros: Easy to setup. so far is O.K
This one I received 2 days ago, first one was defective one. Netgear was charging to replace as I explained in my previous review. I called and explained whole issue with Newegg Cust. Serv. Rep. and said since it is less than 3 months and since I have case ID for defective one they replaced free of charge. I should really appreciate Newegg customer service. Absolutely outstanding.

Cons: Netgear should improve their customer service and RMA policy for defective items.

Other Thoughts: The reason I upgraded to this router because I used rangemax router before almost 4 years no problem and few months ago it really went down. I loved netgear product, but didn't experience any customer service issues for the other product. But this time I had enough frustration. Probably I won't buy Netgear product in the future, if this goes bad.

Pros: It works fine - unless you're on a local area network. The last Netgear WAP I had was 5-star (would have given it 6 if there was enough room).

Cons: If you don't want this thing to be your DHCP server AND your gateway (which you can't on a business network) you're out of luck. The unit doesn't work if you don't have the WAN port connected to the internet when you power it up AND you have to LEAVE it connected. So if you wanted to use it just for the wireless access point features, then you're in trouble. It also has no option to set it up as a DHCP client, so if you want to use it with a network, you need to use a static map on your DHCP server.

Sorry Netgear, this thing is worthless to me.

Other Thoughts: I get sick and tired of having these things tailored for people who can't think for themselves. Let me get in and set it up myself, for pete's sake. And quit assuming that everyone is on a home network.

Pros: I bought this router for the sole purpose of simultaneous dual band 2.4/5GHz wireless. I run my desktop computer on the 5GHz network, but I still have plenty of 2.4GHz devices. Wireless signal is strong throughout my house (2 story townhouse) and I have not had a single disconnect.

Cons: None

Pros: Reliability, uptime, dual band, guest network

Cons: none for me

Other Thoughts: Today someone asked what kind of router we're using. I had to log and see - I couldn't remember because I haven't seen the router for months and never log in - it's been working great without any need for attention!

Pros: No pros, all problems

Cons: This modem unable to open some websites, I didn't realize until 2 months or so, then I called Customer Service, my goodness I called before my complimentary tech help service expired. then that call connected to India and after 1 and 1/2 hour trouble shoot, confirmed that it is defective and sent a RMA authorization to replace. I found out that it is not free, I have to pay 17$ to replace the defective item. Wow!! I was suprised, and tried to call Customer service, it reroute my call and won't connect to customer service, finally I requested help to chat online, Online rep. couldn't help and confirmed that it is their standard operating procedure for RMA, that I have to pay for otherwise they are help less. I can't believe when I receive a defective item Why should I pay to replace. I understand after its 1 year warranty expires. but not even 3 months and that too defective item. I have to pay to replace.
I am not at all happy about their response. That is why I am giving very very poor rating (It is not even one egg as per my rating). Since I bought thru NewEgg I hope they may replace free of charge or reumburse my expenses.

Other Thoughts: I absolutely would not recommend this product, based on RMA policy and Customer Service

Pros: Good performance, stable (rarely had to restart), strong signal, reasonably easy to configure

Cons: Lasted over a year... until the warranty expired

Other Thoughts: I bought the unit in Feb 2012, to replace an existing wireless router that only support 100 Mbps wired connections. Have been very happy with the unit... until yesterday, when it just died... won't power on... 1 years + 6 weeks past the date of purchase (and only a 1 year warranty). I'll likely replace with another Netgear router, since it's still been one of the more solid routers I've used, but longevity is certainly a concern.

Pros: Works well most of the time. It has lots of features in the built-in management site.

Cons: Like every wireless router I have owned, it has to be restarted more often than wired ones. They are just not as reliable as wired routers. When mine doesn't work, my computer just says that it can't connect to the router. Reboot of router is the only thing that fixes it.

Manufacturer Response:

Hello Anonymous,

We would like to apologize for the fact that you have to restart the router every so often. If you would like us to take a look at it for you, we would love to see what we could do. Please contact our tech support team when you get a chance.

Another thing you can do is see if you have the latest firmware upgrade.
