I chose to buy a Netgear WNDR3700-100NAS router after doing a lot of research. I made my final decision after reading stats on www.smallnetbuilder.com. They list statistical data on performance, Max throughput, LAN to WAN, etc. It is displayed in graph form as compared to many other routers.

The charts showed that On the WAN to LAN throughput benchmark (higher is better):
The WRT610N scored 135.6
The WRT320N scored 145.1
The DGL-4500 scored 242.2
The WNDR3700 scored 408.9

On the LAN to WAN Benchmark:
The WRT610N scored 157.2
The WRT320N scored 165.5
The DGL-4500 scored 244.0
The WNDR3700 scored 422.3

On the Total Simultaneous Throughput Benchmark:
The WRT610N scored 143.1
The WRT320N scored 159.0
The DGL-4500 scored 255.8
The WNDR3700 scored 473.8

On the Maximum Simultaneous Connections Benchmark:
(Due to lxChariot license limitations the max is 200)
The WRT610N scored 200
The WRT320N scored 200
The DGL-4500 Scored 200
The WNDR3700 Scored 200

Looks like this year's models have improved. What kind of range does the Netgear have? I have upgraded antennas on my DIR-655, and I get 90% signal strength in a test that's more difficult than their hardest. (I have a 3 story home). None of the Netgear routers cut it for me. External antenna > internal antenna when distance matters.

Tbh, their charts aren't telling the whole story.

 

[Killer_Rubber_Ducky]

yeah, I would have loved to have external antenna but it cost 170 for that from Dlink. Im currently waiting for my router to arrive from newegg. If it rocks, Ill keep it, if it blows return it for the dlink.

Looking for a cheaper 1gb videocard. Not anything super low end, something around 4850ish, could be a bit under that, just needs to be 1gb, going to be used to play bad company 2 and looking for acard for a friend that wants to play on mediumish settings at 1680x1050 and doesnt have more than $60 to spend.

The 4850 is pretty bad ass. Have fun finding a 4850 for $60 of any quality.

I've seen them around rarely for that price, was some up on newegg open box for it. But even something like a 9600GT, 9600GSO, 8800GS, 3870 (maybe 3850), 4830, 4670, and anything else in those ranges, as long as it has 1gb of RAM should be just fine, just a 4850 would be ideal, but any of those others would work fine.

 

[Killer_Rubber_Ducky]

hmm. Try ebay for a 4850
you may get lucky and find a 4850x2

 

[Killer_Rubber_Ducky]

try this one for $66

[Killer_Rubber_Ducky]

how many netgear products are crap? The reviews on my router were really good but I have some friends who say otherwise.

 

[Wile E]

Most every Netgear consumer router I've tried is crap, tbh. I mean, companies do change, but their past is not that great.

 

[Thrackan]

We used to own one of the early wireless G models, WRT111 or something. Was crap.

Problem with that is it's bid, and in UK. I have been keeping my eyes on ebay for the past few days though.

What budget? If you can afford $100, grab the CM690 II advanced. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119216

Awesome case. Just bought my dad one for his birthday, and I almost didn't give it to him. lol

Fit and gang,

Guys I'm in trouble. Paid off $400 on my CC only to buy a Corsair Nova 128 SSD. THEN Newegg listed it for $60 cheaper so I bought one from them! Now I'm going to have two of these by the end of the week and need to figure out how I can open both up to play with them and return one for a full credit.

One's from Provantage.com and other's from the egg. Help!

 

[copenhagen69]

any ideas for an LCD with DVI connection cheap ... like under 100 shipped
just going to use it on the test bench ...

return to sender and say you never got it.

egg will refund you if you request.

or tell them it doesnt work with your pc and you ordered the wrong one.

 

[mlee49]

Full refund if opened? I feel stupid for doing this but I'm screwing myself

 

[Fitseries3]

u opened it already?

you can get refund if you say its not the right interface.

I want to open both for some play time. I dont know, I'm worried but my wife hasn't said anything yet so I'm still undercover.

 

[Wile E]

I wouldn't take the chance, personally. I would send the more expensive one back without opening it.
