The Netgear RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Router WNDR3300 does not support true dual-band Wireless-N, or does it offer very good range. It is a router with two access points (AP), one of which supports Wireless-N and can operate in both frequencies of 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz.

The Netgear RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Router WNDR3300 looks like others in Netgear RangeMax series with the elegant box (which easily attracts fingerprints) and big, round, bright blue button on top. The button also activates the router Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) feature, which encourages a short window of time that other clients compatible WPS can enter the network without having to manually enter the encryption code.

While its maximum throughput is relatively low, the router offers a very consistent and very high speeds on both of our mixed-mode and long-term flow tests. Unfortunately, its scope is perhaps the shortest connection between the routers Wireless-N. If number is not important to you and your network primarily consists of 5 GHz-based clients, WNDR330 is a good bet. Otherwise, for the same price, we recommend the Linksys WRT310N single 2.4GHz, or you can pay $ 50 more for the true dual-band Linksys WRT610n.

The Good: Supports frequencies of 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz antenna design intuitive and responsive Web interface, easy to implement, good mixed mode and range throughput speed.

The Bad: Short range, not true dual-band, no Gigabit support, not the print serving or NAS functionality, no USB.

The Netgear RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N router WNDR3300 is a Wireless-N router that only offers a taste of dual-band wireless networking. Its short range and limited functionality in May to cancel his decent performance in mixed mode.
