Netgear N750 DUAL BAND GIGABIT WIFI

I plugged this in straight from the box and wired up my network again (I was previously using an old Netgear router). It worked straight away without any need for tweaking. The only changes I had to make were to the various security settings, but this was straightforward and worked without a hitch. The admin interface is really good.I bought this to try and improve the WiFi performance as the router is advertised as suitable for medium to large houses. The improvement was not spectacular, even though my house is a very modest detached and the neighbourhood does not have to much 'competition' from other networks which might causes interference - so 4 stars instead of 5. Perhaps the siting of the router isn't optimum, so I really should do a bit of experimenting, but I am constrained by the existing network wiring that I don't want to move. Even so, the WiFi does seem more robust.The big surprise was the wired performance. I have a 20Mbit connection to a cable network and speed tests have always shown that I rarely got a 20 Mb performance - usually 12-16Mb. With the new router every test I have done so far show the wired network achieving at least 19Mb, and often slightly in excess of 20Mb.

My WNDR 4300 log file is filled with many , apparently spurious, "DOS[ack] attacks". The WNDR 4300 "probably" generates these ( mostly ? ) spurious log entries from "apparently innocent internet errors" generated by "Facebook,Google etc ".These "spurious entries" are generated to show how good the WNDR 4300 is at defending the user against internet port attacks.Believe me, these log entries, far from demonstrating the power of the WNDR 4300, have induced a state of paranoia!Outwith the log files, the WNDR 4300 is a very simple to use, fast router. For home use, the WNDR is adequate , simple to set up, and offers a very good Upnp ( "Genie" ) server , and a network USB port!
