Review on πŸ“‘ Enhanced Connectivity with NETGEAR N600 Dual Band Wi-Fi Router (WNDR3400) by Aaron Clayton

Revainrating 2 out of 5

A very simple device with no frills. But good enough.

I need an inexpensive WiFi router to replace the WiFi built into my AT&T modem. This is because AT&T doesn't let you set up your own DNS service, they want everything to go through their servers, presumably to collect data about clients' web activity. You need a vertical form factor. The 2K and 5K signal is also quite strong. Support for all common router configuration options (DNS, NAT, port forwarding, etc.). Less than $100. The Netgear N600 seems to meet these criteria well. Nothing special. One issue I found was that the Wi-Fi signal performance was about 8% slower than the existing Wi-Fi built into my AT&T modem. Does not violate the terms of the contract. I decided not to. Works well enough, solves the problem I needed to solve.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Minor issues
