This seemed like one of the best home use Netgear wireless routers when looking at the Netgear model line up. When I bought this router, I didn't fully understand how "dual band" worked, but it sounded good for reducing interference. I wanted the best, so I got this one.Now I realize I cannot benifit from the dual band. The WNDR3300 can only be wirelessly configured in the following ways:N at 2.4 GHz with max 270 Mbps (uses +- 4 channels for extra bandwidth, a/b/g clients also work)N at 5 GHz with max 270 Mbps and Legacy G at 2.4 GHz with max 54 MbpsN at 2.4 GHz with max 130 Mbps (considered neighbor friendly version, reduces number of channels utilized)N at 5 GHz with max 130 Mbps and Legacy G at 2.4 GHz with max 54 MbpsSo if you don't have any N clients that can utilize 5 GHz, you cannot benifit from dual band. I also ended up having a client (LG BD390 Blu-ray player) that just would not work using N at 2.4 GHz (even though LG documentation says it is compatible with 802.11n draft standard). For this one client, I had to step down to Legacy G at 2.4 GHz. I would have been fine with just an old fashion G router.Doing some tests, I realized with Legacy G, I was getting the same performance with N at 2.4 GHz with max 270 Mbps, so I wasn't too disappointed about having to step down to Legacy G. Hopefully LG and/or Netgear will provide a firmware update that will allow the two devices to communicate using N.Signal stength is better than what I had before. I can now stream Vudu HDX wirelessly (extreamly demanding). With my previous router, I could only stream Vudu HD (less demanding). So I hesitate in taking this back, thinking I paid more than I needed to. There are multiple antennas in this device and the lights on the big blue button tells you which antenna is being employed. This antenna technology also seems to benifit Legacy G. By the way, you can shut off the flashing blue lights just by pressing the big blue button (hold less than 2 seconds).-- Begin Update 12/15/2009 --I did some further tests comparing N with Legacy G. It seems the N on 2.4 GHz with max 270 Mbps has worse range than the Legacy G. I'm comparing signal bar strength of various apps in various locations in my home. So it seems stepping down to the older G works better. All in all, I've decided to keep this router dispite my uninformed decision to purchase it. I'm convinced the 8 internal antennas is helping matters compared to my previous router. Performance is markedly better than before, so I don't want to risk taking the time and money to experiment.-- End Update 12/15/2009 --

I bought this originally to switch over to Wireless N from G but since everything I have uses wireless G I just recently decided to use this as a wireless bridge for my blu-ray player with my wireless old wireless G router.You can flash this router and run DD-WRT and then use it as a wireless bridge. The actual process to do this takes about 15 to 20 mins but having never done this it took me over an hour but did work on the first try after following directions on here [...] and [...]. Its working great as a bridge and I haven't had any issues with dropping the connection.If your not computer savy this probably will take you some time to do but in retrospect it was not too difficult. The instructions are pretty long but if you follow them you will get it working.You need to download two files from the DD-WRT website. The first is a .chk file and dd-wrt.v24_mini_generic.bin (there are a few versions but the mini is the one that is recomended). Both of these files can be found here: [...]. Install the .chk file first following the directions on the above links.I got this router refurbished for under thirty dollars so its was way cheaper than buying the wireless dongle for the blue ray player and also allows multiple connections where the dongle would just support the bluray player.The fact that you can set this up as a wireless bridge is a big plus. Without that it would probably still be in the box it came in.Update: I have had this running with DD-WRT firmware for over 3 weeks now and it still has not once lost connectivity. Completely trouble free operation. Maybe running it with the netgear firmware causes others to have connectivity issues. Its been rock solid so far for me so if you get this and flash it with DD-WRT you should have good results. I paid under thirty for this as a refurb unit and it saved me $50 from not having to buy a wireless dongle for my blu-ray player. In addition it give me a second access point to hook up another wired PC and if the blu-ray player craps out I can use this with any other netflix ready player out there.Looks like the links have been wiped out by amazon but the site is dd-wrt DOT com which gives full instruction.

After years of faithful service from my old Netgear router, I upgraded to this Netgear router. It does not allow any of the wireless computers in the house to connect to it with their internal cards. The push button feature does not work and Netgear tech support confirmed that. I set up a password on the router, and one laptop connected for ten minutes to it with its internal card and then could not reestablish a connection to it. I purchased two of Netgear's USB N adapters and those connect to the router - not the push button though, only with a password.The N band network has a smaller range than the G band. If I go more than twenty feet from the router, the N band connection drops, and the dual band adapter finds the G band network. If I search for available networks, I need to move closer to the router to find the N band as available. My house isn't so big, but this is a disappointment because the N band is about five times faster than G.Any computer that is hard-wired into the router does get a fast, steady connection.
