    Can probably pick it up for less as he accepts reasonable offers.

    I would have thought the model Netgear WNDR3800 N600 for $157 would be a better deal.

      doesn't include ADSL modem inside

      Yeah that's a router….the DGDN3700 has built in modem…

      • gutenmuach on 24/02/2012 - 12:54

        whats the modem for? sorry for my lack of knowledge on these things..

        • simulacrum on 24/02/2012 - 14:09

          The device that connects you to the internet…

        • EarlyBird on 24/02/2012 - 14:29

          Short answer: a modem connects your computer to the outside world whereas a router lets it communicate with your other electronic devices. They're either wired or wireless, a bit like a fixed phone/mobile vs an intercom/walkie-talkie.

  • sakuraz on 24/02/2012 - 10:44

    Great device, not sure about price.
    EDIT: Just noticed you can get free adaptor! makes it worthwhile.

  • EarlyBird on 24/02/2012 - 11:06

    Dell offered this at about the same price last year. It's a pity that it only comes with USB2.0. Some reviews on forums suggest that it has a tendency to drop connections; don't know if the issues have been resolved.

  • BuyNow Think Later on 24/02/2012 - 11:12

    If it had VOIP and USB 3.0, then it would make it a true all-in-one. But I guess it won't be at this low price. I won't mind paying a bit more if it had these 2 extra features.

  • [Deactivated] on 24/02/2012 - 11:17

    So what's all this about "in the real world" (considering walls, interference, etc) G is actually better than N, and 2.4GHz is actually better than 5GHz?

    This does seem about right based on my experience.

    • [Deactivated] on 24/02/2012 - 11:19

      In other words, attaching a big antenna to my G router seems to work better (or at least no worse than) than a couple of "mega ultra super duper range" G/N 2.4/5 routers I have tried.

      Including streaming movies (local and netflix).

      • ironpaw on 24/02/2012 - 11:28

        Yeah but adding a big antenna to a G device would only increase range, not throughput yeah?

        Or am I missing something? I thought the 5ghz range is supposed to be less crowded?

        • [Deactivated] on 24/02/2012 - 12:03

          I guess so, but ADSL seems to be a tighter bottleneck than G, and G streams HD fine* so it's weird that the box says you like MUST HAVE N 600 for anything more than sharing text files. They are labelled "ultra-range" but only have inbuilt antennas and so don't seem to have any greater range.

          *even though that's supposed to be technically impossible, I guess it depends on compression

    I have this Unit and its a champs for transmission power, no dramas with speed even through 11 Inch Reo-enforced concrete that my previous Dlink\Netcomm couldn't work with, able to stream netflix to my ipad no stutter. Highly recommend. CPU doesn't choke up with multiple connections i.e. Torrents, UPNP actually works rare for a netgear. Firmware has a few minor issues but nothing that effects reliability of the unit. only ever had to reset it once since I got it.

    • [Deactivated] on 24/02/2012 - 12:12

      Excellent feedback, thanks.

      Can you add external antennas?

      I just wish it had VOIP as well.

    • ilikeit on 24/02/2012 - 14:35

      I have this too. I have experienced no problems what so ever, it has been amazing! I have several things hooked up too and it handles everything great. Definitely recommend. However, I think I paid $170 approx (with adaptor) and that was months ago. The media server could be easier to navigate.

  • kei on 24/02/2012 - 11:28

    Ah dam, bought mine last week at MSY for $176

    • sonicentropy on 24/02/2012 - 11:29

      bought mine when msy were doing them for $165

  • grizz_li on 24/02/2012 - 11:45

    Now its $128 at MSY.

    • ironpaw on 24/02/2012 - 11:50

      Got a link? It's still listed @ 176 on their PDf…

      I think you are referring to the WNDR3700?

      • grizz_li on 24/02/2012 - 16:19

        Shit I thought this was the router one coz it looks the same.

  • Vallani on 24/02/2012 - 11:45

    Is this better than Billion 7800n?

    • [Deactivated] on 24/02/2012 - 12:08

      Not sure of specs but in terms of brand I've found Netgear to be better than Billion, DLink, Belkin and Netcomm.

      But I haven't tried Linksys which is supposed to be good. Or TP-Link which is supposed to be cheap but good.

      Nor have I tried DD-WRT firmware.

    actually, before I take the plunge - I already have a modem router (Netgear DG834Gv3 54 Mbps Wireless ADSL Modem/Router)

    Should I keep it and use it as a modem and get the WNDR3700 (therefore using 2 devices but saving $30) or just get this DGND3700 and throw the old one away?

    • EarlyBird on 24/02/2012 - 12:25

      I think you'd be better off with running a separate dedicated modem and router setup, that is if you don't mind using two power adaptors. This frees up the devices from dealing with unrelated tasks and improves the overall throughput.

      • ironpaw on 24/02/2012 - 13:12

        ahh ok…but realistically what's the performance loss with an all in one device? What about power usage?

        Wonder if OW will pricematch it…

        • EarlyBird on 24/02/2012 - 14:00

          That will largely depend on configurations but separating the two also frees you from the restriction of having to place the wireless router at the phone point where it may not offer the best coverage. Moreover, it allows you to continue to use the functions of one device when the other is down and it also makes it cheaper to upgrade from 802.11n to 802.11ac when the latter standard becomes available. If you do decide to go down this path then you should reconfigure your existing modem/router into bridge mode.

  • flumpf on 24/02/2012 - 12:46

    Oh for the sake of all that has holes in it!

    I hold off for weeks as the price seemed stable, then finally buy one from Shopping Express yesterday for $176.

    GRRR!

  • jakkas7 on 24/02/2012 - 13:22

    Yep great deal and a great router. Bought last week from officeworks for 155.28 (after price match 5% less). Happy with outcome so far.

  • vampire98272 on 24/02/2012 - 14:16

    Good device good price ….

  • videoman on 24/02/2012 - 14:21

    I got the same router and its ok, but the media server sucks so don't buy it if you are looking to use it for that.

  • POWERevolution on 24/02/2012 - 17:21

    This one or Linksys E4200V2?
    Any recommend?

  • Arcticfox on 24/02/2012 - 20:00

    Snagged one. Thanks OP.

  • sparemywallet on 25/02/2012 - 15:43

    Can anyone tell me what was the lowest offer that he auto accepted? I've gone to $140 as the lowest but it auto declined and used up my last make offer submission.

    • Vallani on 25/02/2012 - 23:26

      I was rejected at $155…
