    What wireless router do you recommend that is compatible with Windows 7? Netgear WNDR3700 has great reviews BUT not so easy to set up for Win 7!

    Why is it hard for Win7?
    If it sets up through a browser it should be pretty universal.

    If you want a fast dual radio N, The Linksys WRT610N and Netgear WNDR3700 are goo choices. Asus also has a good one. If Buffalo has one, it's most likely nice as well.

    I don't like to recommend other brands.

    I love my Linksys WRT610N, it is a Simultaneous Dual-N Band Wireless Router.

    If you buy it new from Best Buy, or something like that you will get V2.

    You may all so want to look at Google Linksys WRT610N



    I hope this helps :)

    Lately the best deal is at Office Depot for about $169.
    Most places are not much cheaper.

    Best buy is about $30 more.

    I've never had any compatibility issues with routers and OSes and I've gone through a lot of them.
