wndr37av vs wndr3700 What's the difference between these? Just marketing?Picked up one today (WNDR3700-100NAS -02R2) and already thinking of returning it :b

I bought the WNDR37AV. The router in the box has the WNDR3700 model number. It really is the exact same router. I don't know why the changed the model number on the box. It only causes confusion when choosing between the two.

Thanks Thao!I am happy with it and I am not too concerned because of the solid reviews and assurance I have recieved here. It also has a lifetime warranty and you can't beat that. If I have an issue I have that option as well directly through Netgear. From what I can tell it is impressive and I will be connecting it to a Netgear Ready NAS 2 Ulra Plus and Netgear Roku when they arrive at the end of the month. Now I just need to decide on a DLNA compatible HDTV and which devices to wire through a Netgear 1 gigabyte switch and which to use wireless. I am also considering some other Netgear products.

Where did you get this information? Don't spread false rumors please. On the netgear forums you can actually see people post pics of both pcbs with identical components. Nothing was changed except the outer box. THEY ARE BOTH THE SAME. 3700 v2 has not come out yet. Pretty much all you want is to look for the rev21 boards as those are the best ones out there. For the 3700 usually a red box means its rev21 the yellow boxe means you need to check the upc to make sure. 37av is the same as a red box rev21.The major rev you need to stay away from is rev15, its reported with the most major problems.http://forum1.netgear.com/showthread.php?t=52714&page;=1 Where did you get this information?

All the 37av boards "should" be rev21 and higher, a reseller has indicated that he has not seen any below this rev so you should be in the clear. Another way would be to open up the product and look at the pcb but thats risky if you don't know what your doing.Yes, its registered as a 3700 because thats what it is. :)Also if you don't have any problems then theres no reason to return it.

If you buy the WNDR37AV from Amazon, you will receive the WNDR3700v2 in the box which is inferior at the moment because the firmware is old. It's having issues loading web pages at the moment. That issue was fixed with the 3700 and 37AV but the firmware doesn't work for the 3700v2.

Where do I check to tell if I have a rev21 board or the ev15 board?I purchased the 37AV and it says WNDR37AV-Rev1 on the box. I have not even checked to see what the actual unit has labeled on it but I will tonight. Funny, when I registered it my only choice by product number was WNDR3700. I have had only one problem with it not working correctly but that seems to be attributed to my modem and not the router.I really do not want to have to return it but will not hesitate if I have the lessor quality board. Thanks.

I wasn't able to connect it to NAS; it was confirmed by Panasonic that the unit sold in North America does not have the DLNA support needed to connect to NAS. The same model sold in Europe is ok, I guess this is one of the reasons the price is less expensive in North America.

Great. Thank you! Did you get a chance to ask them why L32D1120 is now shown on their website? It's weird.

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)

I'm wondering the same thing. Wish someone could answer this, I'm really considering purchasing this unit.

Netgear gave me this response when I asked them a couple of questions: 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!

What operating system and version are you using?If you already have returned it, I recommend getting the Alfa 1W (1000mW) AWUS036H, If you can, get the 9dBi antenna with it. The range is VERY good.

What about the ES8228S? Does anyone know anything about it? I noticed it has a guide at the link above, but there is limited comparative information.

Bob Ferguson, I am also interested as to the denon avr1910 being suitable to be used in Australia, price here is a bit over the top. Dont think I need 7.1 channels but it has great reviews. Thanks to all those that post these reviews they are a great help, especially to someone like myself whos getting on a bit. One point I hear it freezing over there, cold here to at 34c have a nice day Bob

Also can search for "What is the difference between an R4500 and an WNDR4500?"

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.

Thanks for all of that information. My son is into every gadget out there. I know that they have three laptops and one desktop running in the house right now. However, when I ask him to help me with something all of a sudden he does not know. Who paid for his school anyway?? Back on subject, if all of the computers all over the house can use the router should I get the 560 or the 460. They are practially the same price now.You have all been very kind in helping the "old person" out with this.I really do appreciate it.

yep - i agree - i ALMOST ordered it last night...glad I didn't. even more interesting will be the price they'll have when it's offered by amazon direct - i am still trying to decide between the 765T and the 265 WT, which, by the way has become 7 bucks cheaper than last night !!!MediaHub - i feel like we will both end up with a good in-car nav - let's keep in touch here and try to make a good decision. www.gpsrmagazine.com has a great review/analysis of 265WT and 765T...

Text to speech is the ability to announce the street names. Like "turn left at elm street", instead of "turn left in .1 miles".I had a 360 which went bad after a couple years, the built-in antenna became defective. A known issue with that series. Was able to fix it by adding a cheap external antenna. I know this is a very late post, but both the 300 series and units like the 250W are very obsolete. Should be looking at units like the 255W or 265W, or 1300 or 1400 series at this point.

Howdy.I've got a question regarding your experience of recording digital over the air broadcasts with the dr560. Have you been able to program the machine to record stations that are not whole numbers, like 6, 12 and so on? We've got local stations that are sending multiple signals and designating them by adding a hypen and a number, like 13-1, 13-2 and so on. I'm considering buying a dr560 but won't if I can't record these stations. Thanks for your input.

A little late to the discussion, but I just want to point out that Consumer Reports ranks the WD-Y57 much higher than the other model. A score of 69 vs 63. The top score in the category is 74.

How about the 885 without MSN Direct, and adding the GTM 20, which gives Navtec fm traffic? That's what I'm considering doing. Might want to call Garmin to see if this option will give you what you want. If you do, would you report back? Yes. 855 is the one i mean. Sorry for the confusion.
