Review: Netgear N600 Dual-Band Wi-Fi Router

The Netgear N600 router worked well, without any problems and was particularly good at media serving, but does take a little bit of setting up, the reviewer says. No pricing available yet.

"Netgear's 4-port gigabit, simultaneous dual-band WNDR3700 Wi-Fi router proved a joy to use. It was stable and glitch-free, with easy media serving. However, bliss only commenced after setup and configuration.

The WNDR3700 offers none of the hand-holding that the Cisco Linksys E4200 provides. You must browse to 192.168.0.1 to access Netgear's HTML setup pages to configure the unit. That's fine by me; I don't believe in steering users away from learning what they need to know about their router with misleadingly simple setup routines. My gripes--minor ones to be sure--lie elsewhere."
