I'm starting to struggle with my Netgear WNDR3700, there seems to be absolutely no follow-up on this unit from Netgear whatsoever?
We've seen like one firmewire since the stock one?
The QoS is still completely broke, and the firmware has this total lack of advanced features.
So I'm considering going back to a Broadcom based Linksys solution, as that gives me full DD-WRT support, I also have had much better experience with Broadcom based routers in the past compared to Atheros and Ubicom based units like the WNDR3700 (Atheros) and DIR-655 (Ubicom / Atheros)
My last Broadcom based router was the WRT320N which is still to date the best router I've had when it comes to wireless coverage / range and 5GHz / 40Hz throughput, the WNDR3700 isn't bad but it still isn't on pair with how my Intel Centrino 6300 and the Broadcom card in my MacBook Pro was combined with the Broadcom WiFi inside the WRT320N.
Only problem was the WRT320 felling a little short when it came to raw power, I do need a router able of handling lots of simultaneous connections at once without going haywire, and the WRT320N didn't really cut it.. But the WNDR3700 does, it's only the lack of a decent QoS that makes me go mad, it's simply not working at all.
Then we have this newer WRT610N v2 / E3000 with supposedly the most powerful routing solution offered by Broadcom to date, and it also have full DD-WRT support.
How would this one compare to the WNDR3700 on both raw performance / power and wireless connectivity? (I guess it doesn't feature the same NIC as the WRT320N, but something newer which doesn't always result in something better performing.)

. I'm just hoping for a quick support.
