With its dual band nature, you can create two separate but simultaneous wireless networks. View larger. | And when used with computers and devices with Wireless-N capability, the RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Router will let you surf, email, stream HD video, play on-line games, and even make Internet phone calls simultaneously, avoiding annoying interference from neighboring Wi-Fi networks and other wireless devices like Bluetooth or cordless phones. Dual Band Wireless-N: Less Interference, Increased Range and Superior Performance
Featuring the latest dual band Wireless-N technology, the RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Router delivers exceptional range and speed for new Wireless-N devices while still offering backwards compatibility to older Wireless-G devices. NETGEAR's unique multiple internal antenna technology packs eight metamaterial antennas into this wireless router. This enables wireless signals to travel farther for a stronger, more reliable wireless connection. This new technology also minimizes "dead spots" that can frustrate wireless network users. While performance will vary according to your particular conditions, when used with other Wireless-N computers and devices, the RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Router can deliver up to 10 times the range of older Wireless-G routers and offer a throughput speed of up to 15 times faster. (For optimal performance, the RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Router should be used with NETGEAR's RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Adapter or laptops with integrated Wireless-N) 
Push 'N' Connect makes set up a cinch. | Easy Set-Up with Push 'N' Connect
Setting up and connecting to the RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Router couldn't be easier. The router comes with a Smart Wizard installation CD that vastly simplifies the initial set-up process by automatically detecting and configuring your router for virtually all ISP connections. And once your network is set up, the router's "Push 'N' Connect" feature takes over. To connect a new device on your network, you simply push a button on the router, and your device is automatically and securely configured and connected to your wireless network. This means that the days of having to remember complicated security keys and passwords are over. The router also features an integrated switch that lets you attach up to four devices directly to the router. Another notable advantage of dual band Wireless-N is that it works with up to 23 channels that operate on the 5GHz band. Wireless-G networks, on the other hand, operate on the 2.4-GHz band with only 3 channels, which is also home to some cordless phones, microwaves, and other devices that can cause interference. 5GHz Wireless-N avoids the interference that can interrupt Wireless-G networks, giving you greater reliability and performance. And the RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Router "dual" nature means the router creates both Wireless-G and Wireless-N networks at the same time. So on your Wireless-N enabled computer, you'll see two networks to choose from, depending on your usage. For instance, if you're using your network for streaming HD movies or VoIP, you can connect over the Wireless-N network and use the Wireless-G for less demanding applications, such as connecting to your printer or sending email. And thanks to its QoS, or Quality of Service, the router will automatically prioritize its tasks according to your network's existing bandwidth and your needs. So if you're playing an online game, or streaming an HD video while someone else on your network starts downloading a large file, the router helps ensure that your games and video won't be interrupted. 
Four ports let you connect via ethernet cable. | Parental Controls and Security at Home
The RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Router offers double firewall protection that includes network address translation, or NAT, to keep you network hidden from outside users, and stateful packet inspection, or SPI, firewall to deny outside requests for personal information. Other security measures include denial-of-service (DoS) attack prevention, intrusion detection and prevention (IDS), and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA2-PSK, WPA-PSK). The router offers both 64-bit and 128-bit encryption as well as a wireless access control that identifies authorized wireless network devices connected to your network. For parental peace of mind, the RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Router offers several options designed to keep your kids safe, including URL content filtering, time-based usage controls, and "trusted user" controls. The router's remote management controls make it easy to keep your kids online and protected. The RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Router measures 8.8 x 6.0 x 1.2 inches (HxWxD) and comes with a 1-year manufacturer's warranty. What's in the Box

 Netgear RangeMax WNDR 3300 worth the money! October 2, 2008
mouflonram (HI, USA)
Easy to setup and it works. Previous Router was unable to sufficiently cope with interference from other wireless products. This one does! It is worth every penny.
 N & G September 15, 2008

I wanted a wireless N router mainly for the 5Ghz band, as there are too many wireless hubs and computers around my apartment and have been facing some speed and connection issues. I thought of going for a dual band router so as to be compatible with old or cheaper wireless adapters.
My experience hasn't been impressive, the issues i face are :
1. the Wireless-N Connection drops quite often and needs reconnecting.
2. I am not sure if this is an issue with comcast or my router, but around midnight everyday, the service and the network go off for a while.
I do notice some advantage of the Wireless N, mainly streaming HD videos do not freeze as they used to earlier.
So overall good, but not impressive...
 Mixed results September 15, 2008
Gadget Geek
I've used Netgear routers for years with mixed results. My very first router was the Netgear RT314, which is a wired 4-port router. That router performed flawlessly for a few years until I had the need for a wireless router. The next Netgear router I used is the Netgear WGR614v6. I call that router the "brick" as its all that its good for. The router setup page was extremely slow, and the connection dropped constantly. I've also owned numerous other routers from SMC, Dell, and Linksys, so have some basis for comparison, and have had lots of experience setting these things up.
SETUP: The Netgear RangeMax WNDR3300 N Router gave me fits. Initially, I tried setting it up from a Vista system via Firefox browser. After having everything configured, it was unable to get anything from my DSL modem. The interface was unbelievably laggy, similar to my experience with the RT314. What was supposed to be 15 minutes of setup ran over 2 hours before I gave up.
Fast forward a few weeks, I decided to give it another try, and replace an old Netgear FP114 that kept flaking out. This time I hooked it up to my laptop on WinXP Pro via Firefox 3. For some reason, Firefox loaded up the interface a bit slow. Using IE6 (I'm a bit slow to upgrade), I was able to configure it fine. Things seemed to work better. So theres some issues that I'm unaware of, or I just didn't configure it correctly.
GRADE: 2 stars
PERFORMANCE: The throughput on wired connections have been good as expected. However, wireless was disappointing. I was unable to get any wireless signal about 50 feet away, and thats utilizing the 802.11N Netgear USB stick that Netgear included for this review. Granted there are a few thick walls in the way, but with the new N-standard, I believe it should have been able to reach that distance at the very least! At least the wired connections have been stable.
Grade: 2 stars

Whats great about many modern routers is that you can install 3rd party firmware on it. Some of you may be asking yourself what that is. Firmware is pretty much the software interface that runs the router. There are groups that program their own software for these routers, adding features, and in some cases stability. (Note: Doing so will void your warranty). After finding the performance on this unit less than satisfactory, I decided to install DD-WRT. Wireless still doesn't have the range I'd like, but it has been running smoothly for over two weeks.

This router has awful range. At 3 feet from the router, my laptop gets 54 Mbps. At 50 feet, it's getting 5 Mbps. The connection drops at least once every twenty minutes. I called the customer service guys for help... they were helpful, did not transfer me around, but I did not get the problem resolved.
Continued Freeze Ups Even After Tech Support August 11, 2008

I bought a new home and my Netgear Rangemax MIMO Router, which has been wonderful and reliable for the last 3 years, wasn't able to push a strong signal to our second garage. With that said, I thought I would upgrade to N technology. I have had the WNDR3300 for about 3 weeks. I have tried everything to get this router to work properly but to no avail. Download the firmware upgrades - check. Contact tech support for help - check. Moved the position of the router - check. Changed the routers settings - check. One of my computers is a mere 30 feet away with no significant wall structure between it and the router. As with all four of my (brand new Dell) computers, a very good to strong signal is always indicated. However, over 50% of the time the internet will seemingly freeze at any given time and never recover unless rebooted. I am stumped on how to solve the problem. Needless to say, the router is going back.
