The Netgear web site finally stopped showing "Coming Soon" but they had none in stock to buy. I finally saw availability on Amazon's site this morning so I bit the bullet. Unfortunately they STILL show 1-2 month wait while another company said it had 10 in stock at the time, but for $25 more. There are a couple of "reviews" from "beta" testers already out but there's nothing written that I would call good information yet about the hardware. If they were "beta testers" then they may have had previous firmware or even hardware revision units like the ones with less RAM.

Literally bought the wndr3700 2 hours ago due to netgear doing away with the time machine backup functionality...pisser.

Why do those other stores claim they have them in stock? Amazon keeps changing on me and have September 29, 2011 - November 8, 2011 dates. I'll be calling (866) 216-1072 to ask about this.You can't even buy it at Netgear's store so that's probably telling you something. I wonder if they ran into another SNAFU? Maybe we'll see them by the next CES event when the 3900 is announced.http://store.netgear.com/store/netgear/en_US/DisplayCategoryProductListPage/categoryID.43976600/productPriceDescending.sort/resultsPerPage.10

Amazon has bumped my ship date by a couple days, sounds like a similar problem to everyone else.

I called and the the rep. was willing to change the order to another vendor but I was going to be out of town and I didn't want to miss out on the delivery. I ended up getting the package this past Friday! Thanks Amazon but I'll probably be sending it back since the printing feature (software) isn't working.

I need help to I was all set to purchase the new Archos 605 WiFI it comes out on 9/1. Then I read about Creative Zen but haven't researched it enough yet or read reviews on it so I am undecided now till tomorrow. I will read all about Creative Zen and read different reviews then make my decision. I want to compare them both I may try that at Cnet. But I would like to know which one you ended up getting? I was all set on the 604 Wi Fi actually till I read the 605 comes out 9/1. Now I am unsure but I think I'll end up with Archos. Rose

I have received the router and it is the v3 so I'd say they have exhausted all of the v2 stock that they had. Thanks for the input though. My problem now is that with two repeaters, my web speeds have really dropped. I am already preparing to return my router and buy a 24 port switch and start hard wiring the house. Another fun project...

I also received an automated email from Pioneer that said it's available for preorder and limited shipments will be available soon. I just saw on ABT Electronics site that says "ETA end of July 2010".

DD-WRT & OpenWRT both now have (relatively) stable implementations on this router. It is coming along but as of right now there are better routers available if open source is highly desirable to you. I wouldn't purchase this router with the expectation that any particular firmware or feature will exist for it. If you're going to buy it you should buy it for what it ships with.

Same problem. It is now Dec 2014 and Netgear obvioulsy will not fix driver. I will never buy another Netgear product.

I just got mine (May 11 2007) and it's version 8. Downsized version... Shame, instead of discontinuing the model, Cisco cuts it in half and sells it for the same price... Do they think we're stupid? I'm returning mine.

YES! I've reported this to Netgear support and all they want me to do is keep sending them proof of purchase information and what not, and not addressing the issue! I had a batch of routers come stock with firmware versions 1.2.0.16_40.0.66 & 1.2.0.32_40.0.74 and both give insanely poor wireless speed tests, barely over 1M. After I installed firmware version 1.2.0.28_40.0.72, then wireless speed tests matched wired tests. Hope this was helpful to anyone having the same issues!

Have no idea but you need to update .Icouldn't update on the page where it shows your devices.then I saw it on my network sharing center and it updated from there.The only reason I missed with because i upgrade to a faster speed.So you have to do a lot of reading on the netgear website to understand what is going on or other wise don;t miss with it if it is working ok

Well ... Heres my update Now ... Newegg just erased the release date that was 11/7 and didnt replace it with anything ... So they no longer list an ETA.

I had the same issue, I called up dlink tech support desk, so after 3 failed attempts to fix the problem, they sent me the replacement AC model. The new router is working fine now but w/ occasional signal disconnect. Overall, I'd say - if possible get your money back and go for netgear.

Same thing for me today, I guess I didn't read enough of these... I just received the routerboard and nothing else. I have already printed the return labels from Amazon and will buy one elsewhere.

rumors from where? o0 it would be a dream come true if it does go live in before august..did u see the other lesser sized models in the same series? those have an actual date on amazon already..with the smallest having the earliest ship date, bigger getting a later date..and this 55 model dateless, so im assuming it's gonna be the last one to get out if anything..so i don't think it will be anytime now until october at least..and "they should honor" or "they will honor" ? x:thanks for the quick response though ^^

yeh i spoke with amazon today and they said there is no update on shipping dates. they "dont know when they will receive the product". i emailed josh at asus and he said "Hi there, They have received their shipments I believe so it should be very soon." Whats up with amazon? i woulda paid the $399 + shipping elsewhere if i knew amazon was going to be lagging.

Go to http://downloadcenter.netgear.com/en/product/ptv3000/ and search for software/firmware only. Choose the first driver at the top of the search results - this will be the latest firmware. Currently it's 2.4.26, released 11/4/2013.
