Amazon.com Product Description
The NETGEAR RangeMax Wireless-N Gigabit Router WNR3500 offers:
  • 4-port Gigabit switch for blazing fast wired network performance.
  • Automatic Quality of Service (QoS) ensures reliable Internet, voice, video, and gaming applications.
  • 8 internal antennas for maximum coverage and range.
The NETGEAR RangeMax Wireless-N Gigabit Router WNR3500 lets you easily set up a blazing fast network with both wired and wireless connections. Everyone in your home or office can share a single Internet connection, and connect to their network, at speeds up to 1000 Mbps wired, and 300 Mbps wireless, letting you stream music, video, make Internet phone calls, video conference, and surf the web -- all at the same time.



The WNR3500 has a Gigabit Ethernet backbone for maximum speeds. View larger.
Easy Setup
The WNR3500 makes it easy for even a novice to set up a wireless network: just plug the included Ethernet cable from your LAN into the device and insert the included CD into any computer on the network. The Smart Wizard will lead you through easy step-by-step instructions, and will automatically detect and configure your router for virtually all ISP connections. A stand is included for vertical placement options.

The WNR3500 employs a web-based interface for configuration for compatibility with any computer with a web browser. Setup is secure using Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), and the "Push 'N' Connect" eliminates the need to remember or input security password keys.

New Technology Means Blazing Speeds and Backwards Compatibility
The WNR3500 complies with the latest Wireless-N draft specification, which allows for wireless speeds up to 300 Mbps. By utilizing patented metamaterial antenna technology, the WNR3500 offers a speed and range far surpassing the older Wireless-G standard. Eight internal antennas ensure maximum coverage and range throughout your office or home.

If you still have computers that use Wireless-G or Wireless-B, don't fret--this router is backwards compatible with the older wireless standards and can be set so all your computers can connect to the network.

By using Gigabit Ethernet for the backend, you'll be certain that the router is receiving data at the highest possible speeds, preventing the input from become a bottleneck. Four Gigabit RJ-45 Ethernet ports in the back allow you to have wired connections to the network that blaze along at 1000 Mbps.

For users who already have a wireless network set up, the WNR3500 can be configured as a repeater for extending the range of the existing network.

Security Made Easy
The WNR3500 offers many security options to ensure your data is always protected and remains private. Double firewall protection keeps your network shielded from outside attacks and also prevents Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. The WNR3500 supports WiFi Protected Access (WPA2-PSK, WPA-PSK), and 64-bit and 128-bit WEP encryption for Wireless-B/G networks. Additionally, you can set security through MAC address authentication, allowing only authorized users onto the network.

The NETGEAR RangeMax Wireless-N Gigabit Router WNR3500 is backed by a 1-year warranty.

1 out of 5 stars wireless connections dropped, stopped working altogether after 25 days   August 27, 2008
James Huff (Los Angeles, CA United States)
We experienced two major problems with this router:

1) Wireless connections are frequently dropped, especially from laptop clients. Updating the firmware seemed to help--the frequency of dropped connections was reduced to every day or two, instead of multiple times per day. But dropped connections once every day or two is still not good.

2) The router stopped working altogether after only 25 days. No power light, nothing--just died in the middle of a work day.

We're waiting on a replacement unit from Amazon now (26Aug08). Will update review when we've had the replacement unit for a while.



5 out of 5 stars Super reception and speed   August 23, 2008
C. L. Sparks (Nashville, TN USA)
I upgraded from a pre-N Linksys model because my internal N WIFI product kept dropping the signal. The NetGear RangeMax Premium Wireless-N Gigabit Router has been flawless. It has never dropped my connection. The speed is comparable to a wired connection or better. I got what I wanted.


5 out of 5 stars very powerful   August 2, 2008

1 out of 5 stars Wireless Dies Frequently   August 2, 2008
Johnathan Davis (NEw York)
1 out of 2 found this review helpful

I would strongly advise against buying this thing. I've had it for about 1 week and I've been experiencing what some others have said - the wireless will die and I can't reconnect to it until I restart the router. This is very annoying and unacceptable. What I notice is the LAN still works, its just he wireless that dies horribly. It got to a point where I had to do it once a day. I had a cheap cheap D-Link that I restarted maybe once every 7 months, and even then I wasn't sure it needed it. What I am sure of is that Netgear has lost their shine and now they are making consumer grade junk. I've also had a newer Linksys that would do this to me. I am going back to cheap, but reliable D-Links.


1 out of 5 stars Router continually hangs   July 17, 2008
B. Brennan (USA)
2 out of 3 found this review helpful

I've had this router about two weeks now. It hangs practically every night and is a nightmare to reconnect. I have a new HP Vista notebook and while working on the web, it will suddenly disconnect and hang. When I unplug and replug the router, the notebook no longer sees it, so I have to reboot the notebook, sometimes multiple times. If that doesn't work, I have to turn off all of the equipment- modem, firewall/DHCP, switch, and "g" router to get the router and notebook back together.

I had to keep my older Netgear "g" router on the network because this one refuses to work with my IBM T42 notebook using "g" technology. It works fine with g on an unsecure network. As soon as I implement the WPA2-Personal security it can't get an IP address from my firewall/DHCP server.

Network and Sharing Center was taking so long my HP Vista notebook would show "not responding" before finally opening it. I have never seen that using my older Netgear "g" router.

I am returning it tomorrow.
