The NETGEAR WNDR3300 RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Router delivers more wireless channels, less interference and better connections through dual band Wireless-N.  high-quality media streaming and better online gaming which is a major plus if your looking for a router that wont effect your lag time . It works extremely well for those of us with internal Wireless-N notebooks and with its dual band adapters it will simultaneously work with legacy Wireless-G devices and new 2.4 or 5 GHz Wireless-N. Automatic Quality of Service (QoS) ensures reliable Internet, voice, video, and gaming applications, while 8 internal  antennas optimize signal strength and range. The WNDR3300 is configurable as a wireless repeater for extending dual band range. Another thing that I love about this router besides the range I get (my whole house ,2 story ranch) is the lights on the top, it adds zero functionality but when the router is active (transfering) it gives you quiet the light show and adds to the whole geek factor of your computer area…LOL. This feature is also controlled by a switch so those of you who don’t share my interest in geek flash can shut the lights off. The picture shows the router with the optional stand attached , I prefer not use this stand, not only for the esthetics’s but I feel theres better heat dissipation when laying flat. This is usually priced at over $150 but if you click the link above you can get it for $99.99 plus free shipping !!!!!!! Check it out. help keep this site going, or should I say growing…LOL
