does 4400n compare to todays routers
1264176
Hello, I have not done much of research (yet) on replacement on 4400N (still works great after 5 years). Had my hands on Cisco RV220W. works very well with networked HP printer, TV Wi-Fi player and all apple products as well. Not too sure about it's updated interface layout (?). But will look soon for the more recent Cisco Router/Firewall. RV220W is over 3 years old already.

Very much so. In fact, from the overall feature and rang performance perspective, it still compares well. The user interface is well organized. But could use an upgrade. It is a notch better than the residential routers from the reliability perspective.

we are still using one at work and the one at home. works fine. I don't have a todays router to compare.

I can tell you that I have around 8 devices on the wifi at once at my house, on the N66U and have no issues. I run some on the 5ghz signal and see 450mb/sec connection. 216mb/sec on the 2.4ghz. I'm very impressed with this router.

I believe I still have the original firmware that came with the router which is 1.0.04 build 7 and it can be upgraded from the manufacturer website. However, I have found not need to upgrade

I found it to be exactly the same. The only difference being the gigabit WAN support. Old one would top out at ~70 and this one easily handles our 100/20

Although my Cisco router worked OK for the most part, I bought an Asus router and it performs much better. So far it has been more reliable. I would buy an Asus router if I were you.

I have the 4300 and I have had no problems with it. Ever. I bought it when it first came out and it works great. I am looking to upgrade but only because I want more than 4 ports or the ability to use the new wifi technology. Works very will with my Wii via wifi, and my network drive and pcs have no problems either. And then I noticed the post I just responded to was almost 2 years old. :)

Hands down the dw621 is the better router. Excellent micro depth adjustment, dust pick up, base has parallel sides. The only draw back is the switch, it takes getting used to, there's some awkward finger/wrist movement required.

I have a buffalo router and knock on wood its working so far. The reception is seemingly degrading what used to be 4 bars is now 3 bars

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

The AtermWR8600N router made in NEC which I use is comfortable.Please confirm the following link!http://121ware.com/product/atermstation/product/http://121ware.com/product/atermstation/product/warpstar/wr8600n-hp/index.html

I double checked the router and the manufacturer website specs for this router and it doesn't appear to support the 802.11b protocol, but check your device manufacturer's website you may be able to upgrade the device with a firmware download. the router is worth the hassle for the range and reliability alone. I'm running 2 hardwired and 6 wireless devices with no less than 4 devices online at a given time with no signal or speed degradation

Hey Ben...not to get too technical..but they seem to increase the signal in proportion to the 2.4 GHz..the operative word here is "proportionately"..I think you will be happy with the results and the price is right...check out the Asus routers..Net gear is nice..but Asus has the edge..and Asus support is second to none...good luck..Jim

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!

You can do a comparison by going to the Netgear website. Basically the 336 has 2wan/4lan, whereas the 318 has 1wan/8lan. The 336 has a significantly higher wan-to-lan throughput (250 compared to 350 mbps), more tunnels, more concurrent connections, etc. If you have a spare PC, you may want to look into smoothwall or PFSense downloads which can turn a pc into a powerful, customizable router.

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.

Yes, all WRT54GL routers operates on 2.4GHz only. As for the version number, it can either be version 1.0 or 1.1 depending on which is available in Amazon.

The hardware is more than capable. However the GUI front end was quite different than off the shelf routers. Many advanced functions were as of a couple of months ago only available from the command line. I've got one running at home for basic NAT, and saturate my a 25 Mb/s cable connection with torrents and it has no issue with that. However a high end Buffalo with DD-WRT , even if you turn off the radios would be my first choice. Unless you are going to use the POE for ubiquity WiFi.
