Eh, it's a running joke....

This router will destroy Linkysys WRT units.... It is twice as powerful with more than twice the memory and supports 802.11n. If I didn't have a custom router, I would have probably taken a close look at this.

That's still there on the first phrase.

 

Man, this looks like is win.

Yes.

It features five 10/100/1000 (one WAN port and four LAN) Ethernet ports with auto-sensing technology with high WAN to LAN speeds in excess of 350 Mbps. It incorporates an 802.11n access point with a wireless repeater mode to extend range. The three internal Metamaterial antennas provide enhanced wireless range and reliable connections. In addition to its Gigabit Ethernet ports to deliver ultra-fast wired network connections, the WNR3500L router includes a USB 2.0 host port for USB networked storage and for developing other custom applications, including remote access, DLNA/UPnP Media Server support, and USB modem

Interesting, Bigfoot will be tweaking the router to improve the Killer Xeno NIC performance: http://www.myopenrouter.com/page/bigfootnetworks

Yes it does.

I need to get this.

 

Thanks Duckie for the link.

I think Netgear finally did something good, since every Netgear product I've had burned out, didn't work, crap drivers, or DOA

 

End of the month availability? PERFECT!

 

And I just bought my GL

. Oh well, it works for me.

 

Lets hope this one actually supports DD-WRT and stuff...I have the first open source router they made and it didn't support anything upon release, and I think it was supposed to, and flashing was a pain in the arse because of the way they did it.

I actually bricked mine, and its sitting here in a box now because I can't fix it without a serial console.

 

Open sauce?

 

May be time to upgrade and give my parents my WRT54GL.

 

This is awesome, I just wish it had external antennas so I could mess with it even more

Bla bla bla...not impressed. Until I see some real benchmarks that show it's even slightly better than my current router, I couldn't care less about it having open "sauce" firmware. No matter how good the firmware can be, it cannot improve a poorly implemented hardware design.

I'm looking to wire my new home after we move in.

Does it?

What about Linksys WRT600N?

 

O_O The 600N are nice routers! I have myself a WRT54GS flashed with DD-WRT and it is AMAZING!!!!

Yeah, so is the $399 price tag if you can find one. I wonder why Linksys discontinued it.

I wonder how the 600N compares to the WNR3500L. Linksys WRT series (at least the 54GL that I use) has been pretty bullet proof up till now.
