Netgear DGND3300 v1 and v2 - whats the difference?

(1/1)

snadge:
does anyone know?

I may be bidding on one on ebay soon and would like to know if v1 has lesser chipset or problems I should be aware of?

thanks

Another router :). I don't think you will see much difference as it uses a Broadcom 6358 chipset (the v1 and I am pretty sure the v2) which is the same as the DG834N you already have. Although it says it is dual band, it will only do one band at a time. Why not get a DGN2200? It has the same chipset, is cheaper and is pretty much the same apart from the lack of 5GHz (which has awful range on the DGND3300 anyway).

ahh I read that it can do both at same time but only 'G' on the 2.4Ghz radio if the 5Ghz radio is on 'N' speeds..?  they are FUGLY aswell...but cheap dual-band as Iam getting Dual-Band with triple antenna wifi built into my new build PC , Intel 4695 Chip via a PCI-E x1 converter that has 3 antenna's on - got both for £9 delivered on ebay :)

I had my DG834N up for sale at time of posting, along with my HG612...but I have revoked the 834N listing as it was cheap and nobody was interested and I decided i love it to much too let it go for less than the £9 I had it up for..so keeping it.

I fancied the DGN2200 - looks nice, and it also has a USB port thats another feature I must have..

Im toying with the idea of using two devices, a la modem & router, using my hacked 2504N as modem as it gets great speeds (19Mb on 4db Noise Margin on 26db line) and using something like a Tenda N600 Dual-Band router for the wi-fi and USB
