E4200 or Netgear's N750 (WNDR4000)? Is this (E4200) better than Netgear's N750? Any comparative reviews?

While I haven't used either I can tell you two of my past three Netgear routers have died on me. For that reason alone I am choosing Linksys over Netgear this time.

I had a problem with a cisco router but it was a refurbished one so I suggest you try cisco first cause Netgear is allergic to Apple products. It finds the network but doesnt want to connect and I even tried the master reset , no password and everything else I could think of

I have Netgear now and have had nothing but problems (that's why I'm here looking for other options!) We've spent about 15+ HOURS on the phone with them over the last 10 days and every person tells us something different. We went years with NO problems until Netgear's firmware "upgrade" which is really a "downgrade" I understand sometimes there can be glitches that may need to be worked out when your using multiple devices. Their customer service is the worst, not to mention that I'm certain their customer service is located overseas and NOT employing Americans. NETGEAR SUCKS!!!

I'm considering a new router due to wifi connectivity problems with the new iPad2's my wife & I bought. I've always had good luck with Linksys products and I'm leaning in that direction again. Does anyone who has an iPad2 have any connectivity issues with the Linksys e4200 (dropping wifi, etc)?

Did the routers die or were the power adapters to blame? I had a trusty old Linksys (now Cisco) router (BEFSX41 ver. 2) stop working after 4 years because the power adapter had degraded over time, which caused it to output an increasing voltage (over 50%). Eventually my Linksys router died due to being cooked by its own power supply! That is what a digital multimeter can show, if you have the curiosity to dig deeper. I suspect that many router deaths are attributable to poor (cheap) power adapters that should stop functioning when they output more than 20% higher than the desired voltage output.

I have the N40L. I have found it to be reliable when runing Windows Home Server 2011. I have no experience with the N54L.

YES, been working great on our at&t; dsl for 6 mths. Just works. At&t; will help you set up the dsl provider part. Netgear tech support was great to help configure other router settings, like wireless security. We have DGND3700 V2, and I recommend getting V2 over V1.

I would strongly consider Extreme if you have a new MacBook with 802.11n, you will see a TREMENDOUS speed increase, esp with a cable modem! I'm about ready to spring for one as I've just gotten a new MacBook Pro with 802.11n and the range on my old Netgear router is great, I can finally take advantage of the speed!

The RB750 is a 5 port 10/100 router and the RB750GL is a 5 port 10/100/1000 router. If you don't transfer large files between devices in your home or office and your Internet connection is under 100Mbps then the RB750 will be fine. Its more of an advanced router then one for consumers but it does come pre configured with DHCP on eth1 so it will get an IP from your ISP, ports 2-5 are LAN ports that will be assigned an address via DHCP in the 192.168.88.2-192.168.88.254 range and by default it has the firewall enabled.

I had such a problem with weak signals and disconnects with both the 2.4 and 5 signals that I returned the Netgear and purchased an ASUS RT-N66U. After a firmware update on the ASUS, I haven't had any problems connecting our phones, computers and Roku boxes to the ASUS.

I already asked this question and this was the reply I received: Thank you for choosing NETGEAR, my name is Ali and I will be your support engineer. The WNDR3800 will be released with a limited lifetime warranty. It will be released either by this August or September. Please keep visiting the NETGEAR website http://www.netgear.com/ for update on this product. Thanks again for choosing NETGEAR. Have a great day! Sincerely, Ali Nadir Salic Technical Support NETGEAR, Inc. http://support.netgear.com

No clue. In general, they should all be compatible. as long as the Netgear is 802.11b/g/n compatible. But I cannot promise anything! We recently replaced ours with a Belkin N300 range extender, and have been very happy with it.

My wndr3800 is 7 months old and the 5ghz "radio" just crapped out. I've tried every thing a user can but unless the transmitter comes on, nothing can be done. The 2.4ghz "radio" still works OK, its just a lot slower. I "upgraded" from a good g-band router just to get the extra speed so I'm somewhat ticked off to say the least. Netgears phone support tells me my coverage expired after 90 days. Gee, I hope they don't overextend themselves being too generous with their warranty coverage. I guess there is a good reason to pay more to get a Linksys router. Their support was always very good. My wndr3800 is 7 months old and the 5ghz "radio" just crapped out.

I upgraded from a Netgear WNDR3700 N600 to this Netgear AC1900 (R7000) and the range greatly improved. Areas of the house that had no signal before now have 4 out of 5 bars. I also tried a Apple Airport Extreme and was sort of disappointed that the range wasn't even as good as the WNDR3700. I'm glad I didn't spend the extra money on the NETGEAR AC3200 (R8000)

This model is version 2...you should skip the Netgear 3700 as this is an "N" device and move on to the next generation "AC" standard.

I have the NETGEAR WNCE2001 as well, it has worked great for me. Amazon price and BestBuy price are comparable.

The EnGenius EAP300 is a much better device, but it costs more. In answer to your question, I have used the the EnGenius as a repeater with several different brands of wireless routers. To avoid frustration, turn off the WPS first as it comes from the factory with WPS turned on as an option. Out of 10 I have installed, I have only had 2 replaced by the company. A much better ratio than the Linksys repeater I had been using.

I can't be 100% sure about the 2 different models, I do run the ENS500EXT units in WDS and they communicate just fine. Make sure firmware on both units is up to date. Both set to N-mode, both set to the same channel width, both set manually to the same channel. Running wireless N mode mandates WPA2-AES encryption, so make sure both are set up that way and have the same access code. Running WDS requires static IP's be set on both units, and each units MAC address be registered in the setup for all units in WDS affiliation with them. Clients connecting to the WDS nodes require static IP or a separate router to operate as a DHCP server for them. I am just thinking off of the top of my head, I do have set up WDS configurations, but mainly use these units as AP's, or point-to-point bridges. Maybe someone else here can comment further, I know from trying to contact Engenius customer support in the past, their support staff is essentially non-existent. Good Luck.

Both routers look great and meet my requirements.SlikLizrd, can you specify how much is one better than the other for:- Wired and Wireless performance- Wireless Range- NAS performance- Media Server performanceThanks

I have the TREND net AC1750 and have been more than pleased with its capabilities. When buying a new router I did so much research i knew more than the sales people at most retail stores (best buy, office depot). This was the best one available and had a great price at $140. I have a 30MBS internet connection and that is more than enough for streaming on multiple devices at one time. Let me know if you want anymore information...
