Crisp Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 If you had the option for either of the 2 which would you go for? Linksys E4200 or Netgear WNDR4000. Any opinions welcomed. I need a new home router with a good wireless N signal. Is it also worth waiting to upgrade my router as it's coming to the end of the year?

IbSta Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I have the WNDR4000 and I love it. Easy webGUI. I live in a 3 story house and the router is in the basement and it provides great reception to the PS3 and Xbox upstairs in the bedroom no buffering when streaming AVI or MKV or Windows Media Center. I never used the E4200 but heard a lot of people rave about it on Neowin, I personally had some bad luck with Linksys WRT54G routers in the past so I moved to D-LINK and after their firmware bricked my DIR-855 I moved to WNDR4000 and so far no issues!

#Michael Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I have been looking for a good router for a while now and I was looking at that netgear one until I started looking at some of the reviews on it: http://www.maximumpc.com/article/reviews/netgear_wndr4000_review http://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-Wireless-Gigabit-Router-WNDR4000/dp/B004PA2B6C http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833122413&Tpk=WNDR4000 Decided not to get it. I'd go with the e4200v2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crisp Posted December 21, 2011 Author Share Posted December 21, 2011 I've always been a Linksys person and I just love their routers, I would of compared it to the WNDR4500 instead but I'm really wanting a router that can go flat as it's going in a cabinet. I just thought I would ask as the WNDR4000 looks like a good looking router and I love flashing activity lights :) (sad I know). It's a tough one as there's load of reviews out there with mixed responces but I'm currently siding with the E4200. I know one things for sure, I will never buy another D-Link product ever again.

neo1911 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I asked the same question and went with Asus RT-N56U. It's much better than those two you mentioned and supports 3G modems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawkMan Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 fly with E4200 with DD-WRT Ugh no, TomatoUSB for stability, speed and good QoS But yeah get the E4200. It was also found to be the router with best range in a test here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
