    Great product

    By gordon  Mar 1, 2008 | 4 out of 4 found this NETGEAR RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Router WNDR3300 review helpful

    Pros: Great coverage, solid performance, priced right, flexible configuration options

    Cons: No Gigabit switch. No drive/media server support. No wall mounting kit.

    I bought this to replace an older Netgear dual band wireless router (WGU624) because I wanted the draft n support. I was content with my old router until my wife rearranged the funiture and put my office/desk in a deadspot. I tried the Dlink DIR-655 ...but I didn't like the coverage and the fact that I couldn't use it as a pure AP to add on to my existing network. It needed to interface directly with my ISP which was not an option for my service (unless I spend more static IPs). It also reminded me of why I bought a 5GHz band in the first place; the 2.4 GHz band in my area is congested! I was skeptical about getting another Netgear becuase I was less than pleased with their technical support. There were also a lot of bugs and firmware fixes that introduced more bugs in the WGU624 model. But I took a chance with the WNDR3300 and I'm very satisfied with my purchase. I paid $109 for it at Best Buy. The software interface is just like the old router but without all the bugs. The coverage is amazing. I was able to hide the WNDR3300 behind my television set and still get perfect coverage throughout the house. The performance is rock solid with the Intel® PRO/Wireless 3945ABG and 4965ABGN adapters in my laptops. What really sealed the deal for me is that it works fine as a pure AP, so I don't need to replace my existing router just to use the product. Read more Less

    Does not perform as advertised

    By BillyE  Jul 17, 2008 | 1 out of 1 found this NETGEAR RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Router WNDR3300 review helpful

    Pros: can't think of many

    Cons: Wireless G is just as good

    Does NOT, Does NOT perform as advertised with respect to video streaming, etc. Same performance from G.

    Not easy to setup, but tech support at Netgear was Great.

    Save your $ or hard wire.

    Pros: Very stable

    Cons: A little weak

    All in all I like the WNDR3300. I left Linksys due to so many signal drops. This is common with Linksys (I owned two of their routers). The reviews you read of Netgear dropping signals are done by people trying to cover for Linksys. Netgear is a soli...d, consistant, signal. But I'm sorry to say that signal is a bit weak. And personally I hate this internal antenna thing. It's difficult to add antenna boosting. For the money the WNDR3300 is the best all-round deal right now. Read more Less

    No support you buy it it breaks you own it.

    By lucki90  Sep 19, 2008

    Pros: Worked good for threee months.

    Cons: broke after three months

    I unpluged my old belkin router and pluged in the new netgear one. The router work good right out of the box and I was happy until we came home and it looked as if someone had changed all my settings. We reloaded it and it never would pass the intern...et signal. support never could help. My old belkin still works. They say something is wrong with my cable modem. Bull the logic module is fryed. Please do not buy one of these. Read more Less

    8 Anntenas?? Where are them??

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Mar 4, 2008

    Pros: Good Design, Draft N

    Cons: Not impressed with the signal

    I bought it because it says that has a really good range, with 8 internal anntenas and so on... then I installed it and work just Fine. The configuration is easy. The wireless security are good. I went throught the house to check the signal and the w...ifi modem from Qwest that ive got installed has better signal than boths, G and N SSID. I will have to see how it will work at the office but im not expecting to much from it after this test Read more Less
