In 2011 Netgear launched brand new lines of wi-fi devices such as New Netgear wireless routers WNDR3800 N600 wireless twin band gigabit router premium edition and WNDR4000 N750 wireless N dual band simultaneous gigabit router.
Most of the people think that these two routers are not much different with the earlier devices WNDR3700 N600 Rangemax and WNDR37AV N600. Are there any differences between these routers which are labeled as high performance routers for demanding high intensive bandwidth functions such as HD video streaming and HD gaming?
The following are a few of the major manufacturer specifications for those three wireless routers.
Wi-fi Technology
All the three routers are powered by the latest wireless N (802.11N last version) technology. The earlier product WNDR3700 N600 was presented using the draft edition of 802.11n technology. Actually there isn't a major difference between the draft and the ratified version of 802.11n except a few options. However in clients mind, it is better to get the most recent edition than the draft version to allow you to share the storage and is available for all the client computer systems in the network.
But there may be one difference relating to the USB port. WNDR37Av and WNDR4000 don't support the USB port for hosting the printer for sharing. However WNDR3800 premium version supports either Storage or Printer for sharing. That is fine for house wireless network environment so you need not buy separate print server. Should you require your environment to support both storage and printer at the same time, you'll be able to take into account routers that support two USB ports such as TEW-673GRU or Belkin HD N600.
High Speeds
WNDR37Av and WNDR3800 premium edition are N600 routers supplying the maximum speeds of as much as 300Mbps every band (ideal circumstances, actual speeds could differ). The WNDR4000 delivers the speeds of up to 450Mbps theoretically, best to support the high bandwidth applications including gaming and streaming.
All the three routers are equipped with the Gigabit Ethernet technology for both WAN (1 port) and LAN (4-ports) interfaces for prime speed wired connections. Using the WAN gigabit interface you may connect to the next generation of DOCSIS 3.0 Cable modem technology which incorporates Gigabit Ethernet port such as Surfboard SBG6120.
Safe Guest Network
All the 3 routers support more than one SSIDs, you can add a guest network to each wi-fi network 2.4 GHz b/g/n or 5 GHz a/n. With secure guest network, you possibly can permit your visitors both to get entry to your local network or not. This is necessary to hide your crucial documents from the un-authorized access.
Processor and Memory
All the three routers are powered by the 680 MHz highly effective MIPS 32-bit processor but the incorporated memory is different. The WNDR37Av and WNDR4000 include eight MB flash memory and 64 MB RAM. But WNDR3800 consists of 16 MB flash memory and 64 MB RAM.
Flash is a non-volatile memory which is usually containing the proprietary of the products operating system. RAM (random access memory) comprises the running operating system and configuration data.
Particularly the WNDR3800 premium version, this router supports the new feature additions including the printer support, Clear Channel Selector and Quick Start, Steady Stream HD which starts streaming videos quicker with much less buffering delay and maximizes bandwidth for highest quality video. Clear Channel Selector dynamically avoids busy Wi-Fi channels for clear and fast wireless connections automatically. Another novel feature for this premium version router is the NETGEAR Genie that is a free home network dashboard software to let you monitor, connect and control your own home network.
WNDR4000 router is finest for top performance wireless environment and delivering high speeds applications for gaming and video streaming. But for complete home wi-fi network experience including the printer share support, the WNDR3800 N600 premium version is the ideal router for you.
