Netgear RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Gigabit Router WNDR3700 reviews

Here’s a list of the questions other shoppers have asked owners of the Netgear RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Gigabit Router WNDR3700

1. Setup goes ok till it tries to link to ISP provider then it just will not connect. My 5 year old Netwgear works fine to same ISP. All settings are correct. I have replaced the router once and still the same problem. Netgear suggested I go for a different model. ps - I am using an ADSL line....Help!

   1. This isn't an ADSL router. You can either connect this to another box which does have an adsl modem in it (which is what I do) or replace this with a router that does it all in one though I haven't seen one I liked and I also want BTInfinity soon which this will also work with.

   1. No not at all, we can 3 laptops, 1 desktop and a PS3 and they all work perfectly together. Had major problems with old router which were resolved immediately on installation :-)

5. Sorry to bother you.
   I currently have the Netgear Wireless G Router WGR614 and im having alot of connection problems on 2 ps3's which are upstairs (router is downstairs). Everytime I try to play online I just get constant lag and seem to be a least a second behind everyone I play. Will this router give me a better connection to upstairs than the one I have now? The PS3's are both approx 10-12 feet away if it helps to know. I'm starting to think it's my router thats the problem as it just isnt capable of providing a decent signal to the distance of the games consoles.
   I personally have no idea what to get or what the problem is why I lag and no one else does. But i also dont know whether routers vary from how powerful the signals are ( I mean can this router be picked up further away than others can? I have no idea).
   Any response i get back will be greatly appreciated as I'm getting really frustrated that the problem I have seems to be getting worse.
   I'm with Virgin Media for my broadband and have just doubled my speed to 20mb, but its made no difference whatsoever :(

   1. The ps3 doesn't support 5GHz wifi so I don't expect it will make much difference. Using 5Ghz I get a ping of about 25ms to speedtest.net and more like 90 on the 2.4GHz band. You might be better off buying some homeplugs to create a wired connection.

   1. How close is the Xbox? Are there any walls in the way? Floors?

7. Hi. Ive got the so called virgin super hub. Wireless is always dropping out. Will this work with this router.
   
   Matt asked on 31 Dec 2011
   1. Yeah, though you might need to turn off dhcp on this like I did, if the superhub does that job.

   1. Yes but it's not an adsl router so you need to hook it up to an adsl router (like your existing BT one) or dedicated modem.

9. I have a Netgear-G router which works very well but doesn't give me reception all over the house. (Not a mansion). Tried the BelkinN600 DB but that appears to be incompatible with my XP system. Will ths router enable me to receive a signal all over the house? None of the routers seem to inform about range, and that's very important.
   
   Reg asked on 30 Mar 2012
   1. Not seen your house but I don't see a big improvement in range with this versus my old DG834G - performance is much better though.
