I did stumble accost a great web site for reviews

and like I said DD-WRT is great but they are not with the new batch of routers yet. And the ASUS RT-N56U is top of the chart for performance

Im also looking at the NETGEAR WNDR3800

Ive always used Linksys also. You may be right eskro but the E3200 does not have a UPnP / DLNA server for the USB which I want. The E4200 does though at $150

Was about to post about smallnetbuilder.com as a good starting point for making comparisons, but it seems you know how to google Smile

See Jetster, you should have cleaved off this conversation after the fifth post... when I said E4200!!! could have saved you time, and newegg would have had it shipped today. BUT NOOOOOOO!!!!!! Big Grin

Now you have to wait at least another day! Laugh

I'm super happy with my Netgear 3700v2. I got it to replace my aging dlink dir-655. It was a huge improvement for me. It looks like the 3800 has a few more features - mostly involving the USB port, which i don't use on mine. The 3700 is going for less than $100 these days.

No worry...most electronics that I owns are refurbished, and my refurbished electronics (LED, LCD, AVR, PC, etc) last longer than my brand new electronics. I trusted the refurbished model more than the brand new model, because it went through more tests before they resell it. It carry the same warranty as the new model. As long as it is manufacture refurbished, you should be fine....

im sure you'll enjoy your E4200, its an high end model

Jetster · 2012-03-21, 00:49

It arrived. 5 min had it set up. It was packed appropriately and had no scratches It has some features I will need to figure out but everything seams to work properly. Including the USB drive. Its smaller then my Linksys wrt54gl.

eskro · 2012-03-21, 01:24

nice to see all goes well!!

Yes, the latest Cisco routers are very easy to setup. I connected all 5 PC's, 3 Android phones, wireless printer and powerline in less than 30min. Even though it is refurbished, the conditions are as good as new.

You'll enjoy your E4200...by the way, how is the wireless signal?

Jetster · 2012-03-21, 08:17

Its good..Still looking into the options. I found out you can seperate the 5ghz and 2.4Ghz with diff SSID to get 300 MBs on the N network

I tested the LAN and it transferred a 10 Gb file at 145Mbs in 60 seconds
