Netgear WNDR3700 N600 Wireless Dual Band Router

Excellent

When Netgear routers work, they work great. When they don’t you are pretty much held hostage by the customer service reps in the Philippines who want to charge you $80.00 if you router is more than 90 days old. Even if you just pulled it out of the box and registered it 120 days after you purchased it. I will now go by another router for $100 and it will NOT be one from Netgear. Another example of the NAW (New American Way).Yours Truly,Disgusted in America

Interface is slow. Had it several years, and its obsolete. Would not play nicely with my ADSL modem (I know, time for real internet).

It connected all my devices automatically and I have had no problems, It was easy to install..

Easy set up. Quick start guide is decent, but if you are not network savvy, open the online guide before disconnecting your old network. Good upgrade for people still running a G router and do not need a newer AC grade network.

Never could get the damn thing to work, even after four calls to tech support. Netgear’s “experts” finally threw up their hands and said it must be the hardware, whereupon I sent the miserable thing back.Save your time and money – buy something else.(I finally went back to my 9-year-old Linksys, which still works fine.)

In great condition and with everything needed including instructions.Thanks

Good product

Still having issues getting it to connect to the website to work on my personal settings. But it is a super fast router and I love it. Just a matter of time for me to fix the issue signing in.

Plug it in, and it works. No hassle. No hoops to jump through connecting to it so long as you follow the instructions, which are quite clear and easy to follow.Extras: the Netgear Genie software is a bonus – I can see who is on my network and (if I ever had to) remove any uninvited guests. It has a link to speedtest.net – kind of handy. Has parental controls, but I haven’t needed that feature. I really like the ability to add an external storage device (via USB) to the router. It’s convenient for sharing files with others on the network.Range? Well, I’m going to have to walk around with my phone and laptop a bit more to give a more accurate assessment of the router’s capabilities. But I can say this: the router and cable modem are in a ~13×13 room with wooden walls and one window. I placed it next to the window. About 25 ft. away (and through a wall), it gets a minimum of 3 bars, no less. That’s not particularly mind-blowing. However, the Internet signal is steady and doesn’t seem any slower than when I’m right next to the router. I suspect that in a larger home, or one with many rooms, that adding a netgear signal booster/repeater/range-extender would be a worthwhile investment. I personally would go with this one here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L0YLRUW?keywords=netgearrangeextender&qid=1445977820&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1Overall, I’m very satisfied with this router. Quite a solid purchase. It works, and the extra features are quite functional rather than superfluous.

Great wireless N dual band router. Installed ddwrt without issue and it’s been rock solid. Works fine with my 2nd gen Nest.

Great!

Not compatible with CenturyLink Internet. (Although by specs it should be)

I have had this router for quite some time. I did not buy it from Amazon but it’s all the same. I found the original firmware to be buggy and would actually reboot and/or drop the signal in general. I finally upgraded to ddwrt firmware and I haven’t had an issue at all. It no longer reboots nor the signal drops. This is why I gave it a 4 star.

Easy setup, good performance.Pros:Simultaneous dual- band 2.4 and 5.0GSpeeds up to 600MFour Gigabit Ethernet portsUSB 2.0 port for device sharingBuilt-in antennasSupports A,B,G,and NCons:Stock firmware doesn’t have much firewall features (you can install dd-wrt )Does not allow external antenna.Can overheat, needs lots of airspace around it.There is no dd-wrt for v5 hardware.There are 5 hardware versions each one requires its own firmware. Check the dd-wrt website for a description of the hardware versions.Does a nice job streaming media, especially on the 5G band.

ok

Perfect, had it for years and works great.

This router replaced my poor quality TP-LINK TL-WR841N Router (AVOID). Out of the box this router looks good. It was very easy to set up, and even has a ‘cute’ pre-set password. Mine was good enough that I’ll probably keep it forever; maybe I’ll even use it on my bank accounts! (okay, maybe not..)All of my speed tests with it have had great results. This is not the bottleneck to my 60Mbps internet speed, which is what you want in a router. I am able to stream video easily. It has dual-band networks, but I’ve only used the 2.4 GHz frequency because that’s what my Chromecast is on and its still plenty fast.Ports were easy to forward (if you’re in to that type of thing), firmware was easy to update (I think you can even use open source firmware, if you’re in to that type of thing), and the network covers a nice area (like my car when I’m outside sitting in it).Its a bit more expensive than some routers, but also less expensive for others. Due to my experience with inexpensive/cheap routers, I would recommend this router.

working great

Really the problem here was that the unit came as a brick which doesn’t mean that they are all bad, I have since had another bad experience with another netgear router and will be using other brands from now on. They simply haven’t been reliable.

Perform as expected

BEWARE!!!!!! Purchased this based on Netgear’s website instructions on how to configure this router to be used as a wireless access point as I have spotty coverage in my home and I currently have a Netgear WNDR3400 router. When I opened the sealed box which is for a Netgear N600 Dual Band Gigabit router (WNDR3700), i found a WNDR3800 router with a disk for WNDR3700v2 firmware. I could not get the router to function as a WAP as the set-up would not even give an option to enable WAP (which the instructions claim it should). The router would not even set up with Xfinity nor recognize the Arris Surfboard SB6141 modem I have. Upon reseraching Netgear’s website, apparently the WNDR3800 is no longer supported so I have no idea why it was shipped and sold as a WNDR3700. Shame on someone! Sending right back to Amazon!

The router functions fine, but the customer service provided by Netgear is awful. I had a security breach on my router and called Netgear for support. After 35 minutes of conversation, I learned that because my 90 days of free support had elapsed, I was expected to pay a 3rd party (Bomgar) $129 for a year of support in order to get my security breach fixed. I spent 2 hours on the phone before learning that my system was fine (I had fixed it myself a day earlier–though my virus protection software still identified a problem before and after the call with Bombar). Absolutely a horrible experience. I recommend finding a company with decent customer support.

I’ve had this since July. Recently it loses connection a lot. I replaced an old model linksys with this and it was more reliable and faster. I’m tired of having to get up and unplug and restart this router. The fast internet I’m paying for is useless with this router.

Good device. Works well.
