Pros: Cheap way to get a (psuedo) dual band wireless-N router and it will work with DD-WRT. Cons: Throughput isn't as good as my D-Link-524 I had prior to this model in G mode. from Newegg.com Wireless on that router was completely worthless. Couldn't even get my computer that is 10 feet away to get a stable connection. Returned that product and bought this one and a Netgear wireless G USB adapter and had it up and running in under 5 minutes. Couldn't use the installation CD because it doesn't support Vista 64-bit, but it wasn't an issue seeing as the router was pretty much plug and play. from Newegg.com First one (Refurb) was DOA (All lights flashing) Second works, but I haven't been able to get my dual band Linksys WPC600N card bus to work on the 5 Ghz band. The latest drivers for it are rather old (2007) so I'm not sure it's the fault of Netgear. from Amazon.com Before i had zero problems with the N connection dropping, now i have to deal with drops every 5 minutes to a few hours. Other Thoughts: Definitely not worth the 100+ i payed for it spring of 08I am no longer using it at home as we now have a verizon router that is G only but faster than this ever wasI do have it at school in my dorm room where it sits a good 4 inches away from my laptop, and it will drop the wireless signal and fail to connect for several minutes before finally letting me back on. I am very dissapointed in this product and especially netgear for realeasing firmware updates that make a product work less... My advice: Don't buy...linksys probably has better products from Newegg.com This router runs DD-WRT very easily. It's dirt cheap. from Amazon.com Great set-up program - obtains IP addresses from your modem so you don't have to type them in. However, range was no better (maybe a little less) than my 3 year old Linksys G router on the G or the N band. from Amazon.com Has been the bane of my home network. Old G router was fine. If you like troubleshooting technology, buy one of these or go work for Netgear, they need help. from Amazon.com If you put DD-WRT on it, you should be golden. (SEE SECURITY ADVISORY BELOW) That said, let me quickly list the pros. #1 - I have NOT had dropped connections as others have reported. I'm assuming this is because DD-WRT fixed that. from Newegg.com Having a problem with power-on: I use Comcast and if the power goes on the comcast modem and this WNDR3300 simultaneously, then both wired and wireless connections do not work - I get IP 169 on the wired Macintosh, and 192 but no connection on the wireless Lenovo. But if the WNDR3300 power-on is delayed by a minute, then it all works fine. from Amazon.com Pros: Slick-looking, solid construction. Gotta love having dual-band broadcasting for less cash. It's DD-WRT supported, so you can turn it into a quasi super-router with little effort. from Newegg.com

Description

The NETGEAR RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Router (WNDR3300) effectively creates two separate but simultaneous wireless networks in your home or office--one that supports older Wireless-G products, and one for the newer, more robust Wireless N standards.
