Just updated the router today - not sure when the firmware was available. Still think it rocks but I need to reboot it every so often because the XBOX can&#39;t talk to the DLNA server. Hoping the firmware upgrade helps. Hope to catch ya soon.<br />VaPackerFan<br /><br />Hardware Version WNDR3700 <br />Firmware Version V1.0.7.98NA <br />GUI Language Version V1.0.0.64Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21211810.post-79684819355392600672010-11-05T13:06:05.913-06:002010-11-05T13:06:05.913-06:00Thanks for posting your thoughts on the factory firmware. It does have some cool features like the DLNA server and the ready share usb stuff which you lose in dd-wrt (though technically you can add those features back in but it&#39;s a pretty involved process and I haven&#39;t bothered trying). Yeah, the wndr3700 has been working great for me so far. It&#39;s good to see maximum pc agrees with us. They recently did a roundup of high end routers and the wndr3700 won (got a 9 and kick ass). http://www.maximumpc.com/article/features/router_roundup_we_review_7_top-tier_routers?page=0,1ARoganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01035010559491536662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21211810.post-19444616519467216572010-11-05T07:22:13.002-06:002010-11-05T07:22:13.002-06:00Arogan - Just saw I could post an anon comment. I just picked up the WNDR3700 (02R4) and I love it! I&#39;m not as savvy as you so I just use the installed OS and UI but this thing is so cool. <br /><br />First I had a Linksys WRT54G v2 which I bought in like 1906.... Solid but I could not keep my NAT open for XBOX. I tried upgrading to the Linksys E3000 and failed (Bad WAN port) but I did not replace it with another E3000 because the UI was HORRIBLE. The Web Interface was the same as my 54G model and though the router was capable of more services the advanced features could not be configured with the Web interface. In order to configure the advanced features you used a provided configuration application but that wiped out all your Web interface changes.... WOW Cisco!!!<br /><br />Based on my E3000 experience I decided I would try either a D-Link or Netgear router. Your review plus the fact that it &quot;promised&quot; DLNA capability sold me on trying the Netgear 3700.<br /><br />Installation was pretty easy though I kinda made it harder than necessary by not shutting off my modem before connecting and powering up my Netgear (my mistake). Because of that the Netgear made the mistake of assuming I had a static IP from my service provider. The software instructed me on what to do to retry (power off modem, wait 2 mins, etc...).<br /><br />Anyway the installation software prompted me for all the right basic configuration questions (SSID, wireless pswds, etc... - The E3000 configured some horrible SSID and password for you).<br /><br />Right out of the box my two XBOX NAT&#39;s were both open (old Linksys allowed a moderate and strict) which made me very happy. No port forwarding or DMZ definitions. I assume its still as secure as my old Linksys and it has an enabled hard firewall... maybe not as secure though so I need to keep digging to verify.<br /> <br />By far the coolest thing was the fact the DLNA USB port worked! I plugged a USB drive in the back of the 3700 with some music and all my PC&#39;s saw it..... doubly cool was all my XBOX&#39;es saw it.... It even allows you to open it up to the Internet which I have no plans on doing but you could.<br /><br />The installed UI while visually ugly is much better than the Linksys giving descriptions of the parameters and better overall defaults. It did however fail (or I got impatient) on a language firmware update.<br /><br />The one minor gripe would be Netgear is messing up their marketing. They are changing the 3700 models name to 37AV creating a lot of community confusion. From what I can tell though a 3700 with the latest firmware is a 37AV.<br /><br />This success does lead to more cost... Now I have to upgrade all my switches to Gigabit... LOL<br /><br />Anyway thanks again for your review..... worked out great for me. <br /><br />VaPackerFan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
