Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program ( What's this?)
Update Oct 21, 2011: At the one month mark, this router has been functioning without reboots/restarts/drops in a house full of network bandwidth hungry clients - still @ FW 1.0.0.18. I've even forgotten that I swapped routers - the true test of a good invisible appliance :)

Update Oct 03, 2011: While I have not encountered any problems, there are complaints about the 1.0.0.18 firmware dropping wireless connections in 2.4GHz 802.11n mode and with DNS issues that require reboots of the router. A 1.0.0.19-DNS beta update has been released to fix the latter problem.

In a span of about 6 months, Netgear has released the WNDR4000, the WNDR3800, and the WNDR4500. Unfortunately, unlike most normal product naming schemes, higher model numbers do not necessarily translate into more functionality.

For instance, the WNDR3800 will have a greater impact on my own home network simply because:
1. Most of my devices (incl. consoles and... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars WNDR3800 Premium, September 4, 2011
By 
This review is from: Netgear WNDR3800 N600 Premium Edition Dual Band Gigabit Wireless Router (Personal Computers)
Ok to start with, This WNDR3800 is replacing my WNDR37AV. Prior to that, I had a variety of wireless routers such as the Netgear WNDR3700, Linksys WRT54G, a couple of DLinks and others either at home or in an "unsupported" configuration at work. Not saying I'm a guru, but I do have some router experience.

My network devices consist of 2 wired computers, a TCP/IP printer, 3 wireless security cameras, two Wireless laptops, an Iphone, an external USB drive for filesharing/DLNA and a wireless DLNA LED TV. I also have Vonage for my home phone which is an IP phone service that needs an internet connection so the 2 wired computers, printer, and IP phone occupy the 4 LAN ports on the router.

I like the new GUI on the 3800. There are two main tabs (Basic and Advanced). When comparing directly to the WNDR37xx, the new GUI is more intuitive. If you simply need to connect a wireless laptop, smartphone or a readyshare device, you might find all you need under the Basic tab... Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Firmware problems, September 15, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Netgear WNDR3800 N600 Premium Edition Dual Band Gigabit Wireless Router (Personal Computers)
The current firmware (1.0.0.18) appears to be broken. It regularly drops wireless connections, or worse - keeps your wireless device connected to the router, but with no connectivity to the internet or the rest of your network. Netgear appears to know about this issue (see their support forums: search for the thread "Lost Internet Connection Issues with 3800"). Very disappointing to have a wireless router that can't perform its most basic function correctly. Will update this review if a firmware fix comes out before my return period is over.

UPDATE: Tried the V1.0.0.19-DNS firmware, which can be found in the comments. Kudos to Netgear for the responsive support. The -19 firmware is not a complete fix, however. While the connection to the router appears to be solid, I still experience internet dropouts on my wireless devices. These dropouts usually recover after a few seconds. This is an improvement over the -18 firmware, which could only be fixed with a power... Read more
