    Hi Guys, I just wanted to share my experience with the Netgear WNDR3300 and DD-WRT.

    Before DD-WRT:

    G range and Speed ok, but dual band A/N mode wasn't so good. I couldn't get an A/N signal any further than 30 feet from my router. The speed of A/N was horrid; 13MB/sec. Also not many options to play with, as I wanted o set it up as: a G network for my families slow laptop's and an N network(not A/N) for me :) It would only allow me a G network and an A/N network.

    After DD-WRT:

    I was able to setup my special networks. G speed is improved, I'm getting like 10MB/sec higher connection speed. Surfing is MUCH faster, and at 35 feet from the router, my N network is getting 39MB/sec. Thats 26MB/sec faster than before DD-WRT!

    This is my first experience with DD-WRT, and I love it, breathed new life in my WNDR3300.
