It has 2t3r from my research on Ralink's site. I'll take the MIPS24KEc 384MHz processor and 2t3r over the MIPS4KEc 266MHz and 2t3r. Not to mention the reduced heat output from the combined chip although the ver. 1000 runs very cool.

500MHz Marvel blows both NPU alway just too bad there wasn't support for that NPU with WPU. I still fine with RT2880 NPU and it's RT2881 WPU. It has a 32-bit pipe (PCI) bus type. The one you like doesn't say what the pipe in bits is just say Rbus 128MHz still have you see the reviews on this RT3052 wasn't that great. I can't believe Belkin N+ V2 is using this NPU. I know that Belkin N 300 is using it. Are you sure that Belkin N+ V2 is using RT3052?

Hi tipstir,

Where did you find the review on the RT3052? I tried google :d

in face of all the other constraints.

That's the American Way! You sell a product that you know my not fulfill what your customers had expected. Again all these cheap plastic wireless n / gig router with draft 2.0. Right there you should know that when you type a letter or before sending email out you place it a draft mode meaning it's not ready for prim-time.

Netgear isn't perfect too, but I hope those who jump on the bandwagon with the WNDR3700 won't end up the same as the DIR-655 did in time.

No it's a breeze or piece of cake! Make sure you turn of WPS if you don't use the blue button to setup your wireless security automatically. Just don't run both. The 802.11n runs great! I should write a book on this stuff, but I started to do YT how too.. Any PM if you have questions about the BN+.

Hey tipster - I've tried both. My work laptop is windows specific, and home PC I use firefox...same results.

Have you ran this on the browser also do you have the plugin called Cache Status installed for Firefox. If you done all of these things and both PCs are doing then the router doesn't response so fast as it should for it's GUI. I only seen this a older Dlink did the same thing.

The 5Ghz on the wndr3700 works quiet well on my end. 3 floors and 40 feet away from a Client-Bridge that i have set up.

With only 30% signal strength, i get 5.5MB/s moving files from one pc to another.
At 90% - 100% signal strength, i get 14MB/s transfer rate.

At 2.4Ghz, i get 7.5MB/s file transfer speed, at 50% signal strength.

The only three issues with this router that need improvement:

1. It takes a long time for settings to apply.
2. Power plug pops out when you barely touch it. I had to put a a bit of hot glue to keep it in place.
3. Takes a while for it to boot.

Just #1 for me. The GUI seems slow.

2.4GHz speeds compared from the Belkin N+ beats the WNDR3700

Boy you think with so much money for this newer router you think the 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless would be stronger but it's not. So best to disable the wireless and used it a wired router with the CPU and RAM so strong that's where I see it this one at.
Time will only tell..

Video and review and charts here.. The DIR-825 and Belkin N+ in wireless are just a tad under 2% from each other still stronger than the rest. That's should be very important to everyone.

»reviews.cnet.com/routers/netgear···574.html

Well those who had spend good money on this router good luck with it. I'll stick with Belkin N+ very quick and handles my network media boxes very well.

I would take that review with a grain of salt, the guy is either a) a tool or b) was shipped a defective unit. The performance charts on smallnetbuilder have the WNDR3700 beating the DIR-825 and Belkin N+ in just about every benchmark -- they're much more credible. In regards to the 825, at least you won't have the router going down every 2-3 days.

Anyway looks like Belkin has changed the chipset in Belkin N+ so instead of 266MHz it's now 533MHz (actual 480MHz 32KB Instruction / 32KB Data) NPU and 256MB DDR2 677MHz of RAM with 8MB for Flash. They have dropped Ralink for Broadcom XLR2.

After months of using a half-assed 655 with no word on any upcoming fixes, I finally sold it for $90 CAD and purchased a WNDR3700 for $130.

I could not be anymore happy, the WNDR3700 is a monster, a complete beast. Everything is working now, everything is seamless, I will not pay D-Link for their fuck ups.

Netgear WNDR3700, highly recommended. Next time D-Link should think twice before locking people into broken firmwares.

I just dumped the DIR-655 today for the WNDR3700.

Oh-my! You too left the good ship dlink dir-655! Abandon ship! ship! Ship spotted it's the netgear wndr3700! There it goes with its 680Mhz processor and 64MB of RAM power!

I paid $180 including tax at local BestBuy, and sold my DIR 655 on line for $60. So not a bad turn around.

No more messing around with antennas, thank god.

But the factory GUI has very few options on 3700 router, about half of what 655 router does.

Well at lease you made some money on the old girl. The belkin N+ is on point and quick downloads. The network couldn't get better than this. N working so well DIR-655 giving me 120-150mbps very quick in AP mode though. So if I add them all up I have

200 + 200 + 276 + 266 = 942MHz NPU
16 + 16 + 16 + 32 = 80MB of RAM

I don't know if the price of it comes down more I might consider it, but I did almost defect myself by getting the additional 3 wireless N routers one was Netgear and yes install DD-WRT what a nightmare! Since I now have the Belkin N+ for a couples of months now, everything is works! Got the DIR-655 stable again but only as AP in N mode only. I dare not try to use it as a main router nor use it's gig ports to the max otherwise all the blocks will fall down as they say.

I just may hold out till 2010 to see what else starts to appear?
Enjoy your new router good thing you never did go after the DIR-685 ouch!

You do not want to use that NPU RT3052 all-in-on meaning that WNPU and NPU are integrated into a signal chipset.

Look at the specs here

The prior one had 2T3R if version 2 has 2T2R

In September Target has these for $76 bucks. Wait 3 weeks or the next sale goes down again. I had got WD Passport for $56 bucks at Target. That price beats all online prices.

When the antenna was not in the direction of the PVR, the PVR running without a glitch.

Youngjm posted : I changed to Apple's Airport Express. It does not have all the explicit controls as Dlink and others but it is simultaneous dual band N. I can plug a USB hub in the back and run multiple HD's and printers. Multiple computers can simultaneously access all the units without having to release the connection. On the Mac, no additional software is necessary. On the PC, install Apple's Airport Admin tool and you have the little Applet to connect to the drives. I find it just works!

I don't really think about my wireless router as much as I use to with Dlink. I enjoy tinkering like the next person but I am tired of tinkering because the basic functionality is not there.

last question:

I'm really interested about the Belkin N or N+ (NOT the N1). But I don't know which one to choose.

My laptop have the Intel 4965AGN and right now, i'm connected at 130mbps to the dlink dir-655.

It's not important for me to get the 300mbps connexion, but if I can have it, it will be a great bonus for me.

But my main question is what the diffÃ©rence between the N and N+ Belkin router?

What I've read is:
- The 8236 N is a 150Mbps (price is 59$ CAN)
- The 8235 N+ is a 300Mbps (price is 99$ CAN)

So, if the speed of 130mbps I get right now is good for me, does the 8236 is a good choice too?

And i'm not looking for Â«super-cool-extra-wowÂ» feature (this is why the N1 is not for me... )... go to the internet, get good transfert to my server (a second computer in my basement) and don't reboot each day

Thanks alot for your answer!

I got the N+ you don't want N 300 unless you want just 10/100 ports. N+ gives you Gig routing and Storage features with USB like WD Passport that's how I do it..
Stay clear of N 150 that's just G router.

N+ has 266MHz NPU 32MB of RAM, 8MB for Flash and WPU coverage of 1,200 Ft. Gig controller chip is the same in DIR series so it has 832KB for packet buffer memory making it really fast in the WAN and LAN department.

N1 is older uses a different chipset. If you got Target in Canada you can get N+ much cheaper they have it on sale here every two weeks.

Not going to be fancy like DIR-655. Most of the features are automatic plus there is ECO for the wireless so you can turn it off when you don't need it on schedule during the week. Emulator is available one of the members here on DSLreports has a site base on emulators. You'll have to search for it.

The Netgear WNDR is an awesome router and reliable. Unlike the Dlink products. I have mine for a week now and it is rock solid and fast as hell. The signal strength is also better then bolth the DIR 655 and 825. In 5 G mode with router 2 flights up I get 46% signal. Best I ever got with the Dling 825 at 5 ghz was 19%. The 2.4 is solid 90% in basement.

Netgear pushing that 680MHz like it's gift from the heavens but I still doubtful just too new of product and their failure rate on prior N routers wasn't that hot. Belkin N+ uses Ralink chipsets for NPU and WPU and Realtek for Gig controller. The WAN is really quick.

Soon the NPU going to get 1,024MHz or 1GHz like a PC. I think routers should be 1GHz or higher and have 128MB or 256MB or 512MB or 1GB of RAM for the home user. It's coming soon.

So what about the Belkin N+ router? It's a good choice to replace the Dlink 655?

(I really need to change this crapy router)

Well yes! Belkin N+ is my main gig and ap wireless N only router with WD Passport HDD (I had changed the FAT32 to NTSF with 4096KB block) connected to it has my NAS on USB. Then for wireless N extender I use DIR-655 since you can't use it for anything else until the firmware get sort out one day?

680MHz NPU
64MB of RAM
8MB of Flash
Standard N

Wireless is base on the Atheros we all know how that was in the 655.
