802.11n Has NOT Matured
589660
Unit does not support 5GHz spectrum and achieves 300Mbps connections using channel bonding in 2.4GHz, which interferes with practically all home cordless phones, baby monitors, and neighbor's phones that run in the 2.4GHz channel.  It's ability to maintain a connection with 802.11n units just 20 feet away is quite poor - loses connection constantly because of issues with the 2.4GHz band.  The firmware is extremely unstable, requires constant rebooting and has poor throughput through gigabit FTP.  I was only able to achieve 10MB/sec but when I switched to the 5GHz capable Apple Airport Extreme Gigabit Edition, was able to achieve 20 to 25MB/sec throughput using the default settings.

Wait until Q4 of this year for 802.11n to be finalized and hardware comes out that supports simultaneous operation in 2.4GHz and 5GHz, which will make it easier to be fully backwards compatible and easily to transition.  Currently, NO hardware supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz simultaneous operation.  The closest is the Airport Extreme Gigabit Edition which can output in either 2.4 or 5 but not both - some updates to come with that one.  But in case you want the AEBS now, please note that it does not work well with network servers because of a slightly different application of port forwarding compared to other routers.

Just Google "kernel: br0: received packet on vlan1 with own address as source address" and it will tell you everything you need to know.  DO NOT BUY THIS ROUTER UNTIL ASUS PROVIDES A FIX.  I can't believe they're still selling them in such a condition.

Been less than a year and the wifi signal is already crapping out

It has been imposible to set it up. Cover step by step the process and at the end I get a confirmation that the extender network is ready. It isnt.

good range but constantly drops network connection, forcing me to unplug it or restart my computer. this happens about 10 times a day

I have a pair of these working great, however DON'T try to use them where one is set as an Access Point and the other is a Wireless Client, it doesn't work correctly in firmware v1.5.73 or v1.5.96 the Wireless Client unit will never be able to see (Site Survey button) any wireless networks.  I spend allot of time with EnGenius technical support who can't understand why either.  When both units are configured as a WDS bridge (with each having the same channel, same WPA2 AES key, and the MAC address of the opposite unit it will connect to, they work flawlessly.  Hopefully this saves someone else hours of troubleshooting for something that seems like it should work, but doesn't.

This is for the V1 WNDA3100. There is a V2 that is getting much better reviews.  The V1 only has a light, no button.  I have a bunch of these on different machines and the installations have gone from very easy to really a pain; but in the end I have gotten them all to work.  Now one thing I noticed recently... I upgraded my DLINK DIR-655 router from FW 1.21 to FW 1.34NA and when I did, my laptop that uses the WNDA3100 would lose internet and connectivity --- but would show up as being connected in the icon in the system tray, very odd.  Anyway, all of my other G-Wireless devices were working fine, so the problem had to be in the client with the WNDA3100.  What I did to solve the problem is I went into the NETGEAR CLIENT MANAGER and there is an Advanced Settings Button under the SSID Name. I selected that and changed the Preamble setting from Auto to Long.  I also changed the WIRELESS MODE setting to: UP TO 300 mbs (2.4 GHz only).  I've now been up for 15 hours vs. about 45 minutes before the change.  Hope this helps.

So, it works great... software installation can range from simple to super hard. Can require tweaking to get it to work.  Refurbs are available cheap.

It was nice when wifi was working, now it cannot find any signal, the module inside has fail, cannot find any information on internet on how to fix it

Always drops signals. I think it has some compatibility issues with Windows 7 or later. I spoke with Cisco customer care and they replaced the routed with another one, but still no use.

Had some issues with setting up the wireless but eventually got it running in my network

I purchased an EX2700 over a year ago on Amazon. Same as others reported, lately none of my devices are able to connect to the extender. The network is visible, and when connecting, most devices are just spinning and finally fail. I did a reset on the extender, same result. I'm using a LinkSys E900 router. Contacted NETGEAR customer care via email, no resolution yet.

I went through two orders of the WN111.  The first was DOA hardware issue.  The second had software driver issues.  I downloaded driver version: 3.5.0.7 from Netgear site.  I spoke with Netgear technical support who admitted they are experiencing issues with many of their drivers not having proper Windows 7 support.

If you are running Windows 7, I'd recommend waiting for revised drivers from Netgear prior to purchasing.  I'll be returning this product.

As old as these boys are they are the best lowest priced 802.3af/802.1q access points available on the market. With that line said, it means you better have some network knowledge otherwise just bypass these and get an off the shelf, put cd in and type in what you want and voila wireless internet.

I picked up some old hw 1 fw 1 on the auction site and the first half an hour was a nightmare then kruger somehow vanished and elm street became a rainbow and all of a sudden I was surrounded by care bears... you first need to telnet to the 1.1 ip then change it from being a the gateway ip (I suspect my arp cache) anyway then web and update firmware which puts it back to 1.1 then the cli is upgraded so you change the ip settings for the last time and web and configure...

It works ok using the wifi extender feature, but often fail when using the ethernet wire port, because anything a connecte to it get disconnect frequently

This is for the R7800.
It's a very fast router on all devices, but doesn't like LAN connections to non-gigabit capable devices which are also capable of wifi.

Plugged it in, updated the firmware to V1.0.2.40, and it immediately began randomly rebooting, particularly first thing in the morning, when it would bootloop for 15-30 minutes until it was stable...for an undetermined amount of time.  It would stay connected for a whole day, but never overnight. Finally figured out that pretty much the day I got it there had been another firmware update, (V1.0.2.46) which the router wouldn't see and I had to download and upgrade manually.  So far it's been stable.

I bought this router thinking that it would give the extended range over the Linksys WRT54G I had been using.  I had thoughts of using the old router as a access point.  I installed the software, plugged in the router, and everything was fine, initially.  I noticed a couple of disconnects from the Internet, but thought nothing of it.  Until the second day.  I lost Internet connectivity three times.  Each time, I was able to get it back by unplugging the cable modem and the router, then plugging them back in in sequence.  Oddly, a couple of times my laptop still had connectivity wirelessly, but my wired desktop, the main computer, didn't.

Finally, the last time, I lost connectivity and was not able to get it back.  I plugged back in the WRT54G, and everything has been fine.  In fact, I am now using my Apple Airport Express as a range extender access point.  I am sending back the N router.

I gave up on tech support.  They were sure it was a problem with the cable modem.  How strangely coincidental that my cable modem, which hasn't failed me in four years, suddenly started acting strangely with the installation of a new Linksys router.

Initial setup was nice, particularly compared to D-Link, (the tech decided the D-Link was broken).  But I came home from vacation and its not sending out a signal anymore.  The WAP11 connects to the LAN fine, but none of the laptops are getting any signalfrom it.  Tech support was laughably inept.  Now I've figured out the reset button doesn't actually do anything.  They want me to upgrade firmware a third time.  DSL Reports.com says there's a problem with the latest firmware.  I wish I could buy one of these things and it would just work.
