Firmware for dgnd3700 dated 9/2011 ...Its 6/2011

[Floob]

hmm - would love to get one of these but initial firmware reactions is putting me off.

I wont be using the DLNA as I have a NAS, but would like solid connection with a new router.

I check back recently and noticed they still haven't changed the firmware date on the support page. I'm still wish I could see an expectation[milestone] page ( the page that says when netgear [routers] sets times to release stuff) like eclipse does[or did](a coder program). Virtualbox I can watch till the cows come home them since their changes are online (Netgear could be too but I'm not sure where)

readynas's forum seems to have alot of chatter on whats coming up for their devices before there officially out of beta [at least thats how I take it] (I've only visibly seen one moderator so it may be different on other hardware tabs and development groups)

So outside the realm of netgear's forums reviews have come in, unfortunately conflicting.

On staples website someones extreamly happy with this router, on amazon somone bought from staples and wrote a 1 star review.

I've never had so much trouble finding reviews for this item. At least 2 out of three here seemed disgruntled with this router so is that a good sign to go with the 3500 which is only 30 dollars cheaper?

I purchase from Staples and so far I am very happy. I was using a DGND330. My ISP is Verizon and I have not seen any problems yet??? I will continue to post here if I run into any problems. The only 2 small gotcha's is that the web interface does not like firefox and there is still no way to create lags. And for anyone that needs to transfer setting be prepared to input all the information into the new router. There is not an easy way of transferring your settings.

There was ways on the 3300 to make logs or at least read the info . You could both email them to yourself or use an stmp (Syslog) program to read the log as its printed . The computer you set it up with has to be online if you want to get messages across your network to a certain ip address.

I'm very tempted to get one now - but the issues in the forum are putting me off.
Or are we just seeing the worst responses and its actually a decent bit of kit?

I suspect that if your ADSL link is solid it should be OK, but if the link dies the 3700 is unable to recover, so a reboot/reset will be needed.

Oh this is priceless, sorry to bump an old thread here folks but this one deserves a Darwin Award!

The thread was created because a time stamp on the article which catalogued the firmware that we are all using. The firmware is dated 9/3/2011. However, if you look at the time of this thread it is dated June 2011.

Now the priceless part if the document is entirely correct, the firmware was live as of 9/3/2011. Which according to 97% of the world is 9th March 2011. Just another one of those great things the British gave the world, a calender format that works in the same way you would say it in a spoken conversation... the day of the month of the year.

Now I hope the original poster is still around in these parts, because these threads need a little friendly banter and I am sure the moderators would welcome such a thing. There is nothing friendly than a happy laughing community.

OP, you and America failed on this one. Viva La Britain! lol

Really only the person who posted the patch since he used bad writing skills as you yourself have fallen prey to bad English as well thinking that this is proper for a British person to write a date in the first place.

I direct you to this site as my final redirect on this matter.
