Purchased initial E-4200 about a week ago for 179.99. 2.4 and 5.0 were just about the same as the 3700, IPV6 worked out of the box and speed was just a tad faster than the 3700. For the above I could not justify spending 190.00 (179.99 plus tax) and returned the unit.
Best Buy put the E-4200 on sale for 149.99 yesterday. I decided to repurchase (of course I got a different unit) Got it home today set it up and it is completley different then the first one I had! WTF. NO IPV6, the range on 5.0 was terrible. I reflashed the unit with the proper 30-30-30 just to see if maybe it was a bad firmware. Set it up again and same thing. Also 2 computers would not show up in the DHCP IP list no matter what I did. I just boxed it up and its going back tomorrow. I am done with Lynksys.
Just put back up my WNDR3700 V1 with .75 and everything is back to normal and fast as hell. All in DHCP reservation (11 of them) and everything shows in the attached ip's. I am convince now the WNDR3700 is a better unit.
