There's nothing refreshing like a sauna!
After reading this thread, I've come down to the WNDR 3700 and the WNDR 4000.

Think it's worth the extra $30 for the 4000? Anyone familiar with how the claims re: extra range and extra speed stack up in practice?

fake edit: Also thinking about the ASUS RT.

For best performance on a 3700 check that it's a 3700v2. I'm skeptical about any extra range but the 4000 has better wan to lan throughput and possibly better wireless speed (it does have a higher peak speed if you have anything that supports it).

I'm pretty happy with my 3700 but extra money where it may not make a difference to you typically isn't worth it.

Thanks for the tip. This is the 3700 and this is the 4000

Am I correct that the 3700 is v1, so should I go for the 4000?

I got my WNDR 4000.... Big, big props. I'm very happy with it. I live in an area with a ton of other wireless networks and always have problems with interference. Since my upgrade, my day-to-day wireless speed has increased - literally - by over 20x. God bless 5ghz.

Router upstairs, computer downstairs, under a desk. Should I get a PCI wireless adapter or a USB one with a separate antenna that I can run into a better position if necessary?

Any recommendations for a 5ghz adapter? I'm in a high traffic area and I love the 5ghz signal from the WNDR 4000 that I get on my laptop, but I've got a new desktop and am having a hard time finding something.
