Review: Netgear Centria WNDR4700
Great for anyone who doesn't want to worry about a separate NAS device.
Works with DD-WRT!
I bought this router to replace a Dir-825 as my version was not compatible with DD-WRT firmware. I ran the stock firmware for a month and was completely satisfied with the performance in using both 5ghz and 2.4ghz. After installing DD-WRT I did not see any performance loss.- Great 5ghz throughput whether using stock firmware or DD-WRT
- This router provides consistent 11MB throughput on wireless file transfers in my environment
- None
- Some have complained about 5ghz range but that is the nature of all 5ghz routers - you will not get the same range as 2.4ghz

- Highly Compatible
- Secure
- Small
