That's not correct. WPA2/AES security will provide full speed. The N spec mandates that routers limit connection speed to 54 Mbps when using WEP or WPA/TKIP.
Yes. As noted in the Preview article, the data sheet says FAT16/32, NTFS Read/Write, Ext 2 Read/Write and Ext 3 Read/Write formats are supported.
I don't know if they were "specifically tuned". But they have sent firmware that they said would be released shortly, but then released months later.

What is your suggestion about the most compatible security? Actualy in my router i use only MAC address filter. I have this client Mac,Pc, iPhone, xbox360,wii
MAC address filtering is not really secure, because client MAC addresses are easily spoofed.
You should be using WPA2/AES if possible. Most N routers will support mixed WPA/TKIP / WPA2/AES, which is next best.
If you have products that support WEP only, I would get a separate 11g router and connect them to that.

WNDR3700 support this mode, but with this i will not have the problem of speed limit right?
5Ghz channels and regulatory domains.
Great review - as always - thanks!
Can you verify which channels does it support when in the "UK regulatory domain" for the 5Ghz band ? - should be band A & B (36-64 and 100-128) - but I've quite often found kit not designed for the UK only covers band A.....

Sorry. My review sample is locked to US region and can't be changed. I'll ask NETGEAR.
Use the WNHDE111 as an AP? Sure, 5 GHz only. But what are you trying to do?
I think what you are trying to do is connect the WNHDE111 to the WNDR3700 wirelessly with WPA security, correct?
If you do that, the link will be limited to 54 Mbps. You need to use WPA2/AES to get the 11n speeds. This should be no problem, since both products support WPA2/AES.

Should I sell my WRT610N?
That's the question... we are no hardcore users, there is only 1 wired PC and 1 wireless Mac + an iPod sometimes that use it but the distance is what makes me think of getting this one. The router is one the second floor in a corner while the MAc is most of the time on the 1st floor in the opposite corner. Seems I could benefit from this new router.
The 610N still sells for more than what I paid for so timing is good. I wondwer what the new 610N v2 bring compared to v1?

VPN Support
My question as many others will have, does WNDR3700 support VPN passthrough or is port forwarding it for connecting to corporate VPN server?

I don't quite understand the multiple stream / 300mbps thing. If I have an Intel 5300 agn NIC (3x3) in my laptop and use this router, is it possible to get ~200Mbps?
Thank you.
