Which is a better high performance router? The Netgear 3700 or Linksys E3000 or even dlinks high end one (cant remember model number).

 

The following are some reviews:

The following is probably not what you are looking for. However, it is the kind of Router that I would get if I needed a Wireless Router. It is not setup for gaming, wii, etc. 'out of the box'. That requires lots of manual configuration.

What's your measure of high-performance? e.g. most features?

 

This .

 

Then you probably need a SOHO router. Take a look at the Billion 7800N or similar.

 

I've had one for six months. Best router I've owned. I love the gigabit networking and I've teamed it with an eight port gigabit switch as I have more than four computers on the network.

Wireless N is fast too.

 

Yep, only downside is that I've seen some PCs smaller than the 7800N!

 

I hadn't noticed that until you mentioned it but it is only slightly smaller than a 10" netbook.

 

How does the Billion 7800N compare with the ZyXEL Wireless b/g/n Router, above?

Until now, I have not heard of Billion Routers. Are Billion products sold in the USA?

Thanks in Advance.

 

Zyxel of course!

From a quick glance at the spec sheets (and I mean quick) they look both similar high-end routers aimed at the SOHO market. Billion trade as BEC in the U.S. The one thing that is great about them is their support - top quality.
If you want really high-end though, look at a Cisco SOHO router or check out the Sarian DR6410....loads of choice out there. Your budget is probably the key deciding factor.

 

I found one online merchant located in the USA that sells the Billion 7800N.

I was hoping someone would tell me the best from my three choices .

 

You only actually ID'd two routers, You were vague when it came to the D-Link.

 

I have trouble recommending one. It is difficult doing a comparison of each feature.

Therefore, I am going to do the following based on the current NewEgg*com user feedback reviews:

Number of reviews followed by the percent of people who gave 4 & 5 Star Ratings.

Linksys 210/71
D-Link 478/75
NETGEAR 422/78

Take the number of reviews and multiply by the percent and then divide by 100.

Linksys 149
D-Link 359
NETGEAR 329

D-Link is the "Winner".

 

Nice thread. I was just about to post the same thing!

Thanks all and Happy Holidays!

 

I decided on the netgear 3700 which i discovered supports openwrt and ddwrt. From my research i have concluded openwrt is more difficult to install and manage. I want to know if i should even bother to try both or just stick with ddwrt. This will be my first flashing of a router.
