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

Actually just found it. Best Buy carries the the LN32b640. $799 on their website. It may be a Best Buy exclusive item..

I am wondering this as well. Seems to be a make or break aspect of what otherwise seems a great laptop. I have been scouring the web to see if users have found a fix to the reported poor wifi signal. Any word from Asus would be appreciated.

I don't understand what happened with the 55 inch model (P55VT30), it's not sold by Amazon anymore? How come? I can see it at Best Buy but not Amazon... Has this model been discontinued?

I was planning on grabbing one of these too but figured I'd wait till black friday in case of a deal and then suddenly they went on back order/1-2 mo delivery and the price shot up. I guess I should have got it before, now I'll just have to wait.Most places seem to suddenly also be out of stock of this, is this just really popular or is it being discontinued?

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?

I suggest u don't buy this item mine was out of date and netgear wanted to charge me to update it. If this is the same item it will be out of date

engadgethd.com and dailytech.com both have articles that this item was recalled by ATI.I was at Best Buy here in Vegas yesterday (9/27/06) and they had some on the shelf.There and Amazon are the only places I have seen them so I'm going to assume it was just an oversight by them and will wait for the new ones to come out.

David, I will need to disagree with Chris on the surge protection issue. By my experience, I would say that a surge can cause damage to hardware up the CAT5/CAT6 line from the NETGEAR Powerline (The XAVB2501 to be exact). All of my equipment was surge protected except the XAVB2501 as it was recommended not to use surge protection on these. After a large storm one of my Powerlines was non-operational and the Cisco switch I had the Powerline linked with was also toast. The switch had been powered though a surge protector that had many other devices attached to it. All the other devices on that protector were fine. Could there be another cause for my switching being toasted that night? Perhaps, but being a resident of a rather stormy area of the united states I've always kept my electronics surged protected and I've never had anything release its magic smoke until this. The odds seem unlikely that the switch could be fried by anything other than the one device that was not surge protected, the Powerline XAVB2501. My thoughts, Noah P.

Do you see the word NETGEAR under the on/off button? Read that line all the way out to 'v3'. It's just to the left of the acronym CEO. If my 67 year old eyes can see it, so can yours.

I called the Support line, they have no idea when they're going to get their shipment of the GT Wifi. If this was a Samsung trick to sell more 3G tabs, it doesn't make sense that they would be available at other stores. I'm sending a message to Amazon: Make sure you hound your suppliers to ensure you have a product at its launch date. I'm "voting with my dollars". Amazon just earned Tigerdirect.com $350.

I am wonderring much the same thing, but I am unfamiliar with this site. How do you get the answers to the questions you post. Please advise. I am particularly intrested in Samsung,at least with the units that have the internet router wireless connections which can give you, weather, sports, stocks info, etc.thanks Richard maniag@comcast.net

Vivitek doesn't offer the WiFi adaptor in the US due to problems they had (from their CSR). A few units were available in the UK for someone wanting to take the chance, I'd really like to have had it, especially since they built it up so much in the sales info.

thanks for clearing that up. I can't believe they'd leave the ethernet port off of the "streamlined" model, though. Very annoying! Hopefully still worth it, though. Should be a great picture, which is the most important part.

The picture at the top of this page is a WNDA3100v1. Here's a picture of a WNDA3100v2 from netgear: http://kbserver.netgear.com/media/images/WNDA3100V2.jpg

Netgear Tech Support told me that you can use more than two XAVB5101 Powerline Nano 500 Sets. To confirm this, I would highly recommend that you call 1-888-NETGEAR (638-4327)for full details as I only have two hooked up. I recommend that you use encryption when you hook up the system for your protection.They do work great.
