Netgear DGND3300 Product Details
The Netgear DGND3300RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Router with Built-in DSL Modem features both a DSL modem and a dual-band Wireless-N router built into a compact, attractive device. Instead of requiring a clutter of wires and the need for multiple outlets, the Netgear DGND3300 lets you share a DSL Internet connection and create a wireless network that offers fast and reliable connections for everyone on your network.
Dual Band Wireless-N for Better Performance
Thanks to Dual Band Wireless-N technology, the DGND3300 delivers exceptional wireless performance by avoiding interference from household devices such as baby monitors, microwave ovens, and cordless phones. The RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N provides up to 23 free channels (versus just three with regular Wireless-N), and the DGND3300 also has eight internal antennas for optimal wireless connectivity.
With speeds that are up to 15 times faster than Wireless-G, the Netgear DGND3300 will give you the bandwidth to stream higher-quality videos and media and experience better online gaming. Automatic Quality of Service (QoS) ensures prioritization of voice, video, and gaming traffic.
The RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N DSL Gateway is compatible with 802.11n draft 2.0, as well as 802.11n/g/b at 2.4 GHz, and 802.11n/a at 5.0 GHz. For optimal performance, use this gateway with a RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N Adapter such as the NETGEAR WNDA3100 USB 2.0 Adapter.
Push-Button Network Security
he NETGEAR Push ‘N’ Connect feature lets you create a secure wireless connection using Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) by simply pushing a button. In addition, WPA2-PSK, WPA-PSK, and 64- and 128-bit WEP provides wireless security. The router protects against Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks and supports a double firewall for protection from the outside world.
Save Space with Integrated ADSL Modem
The DGND3300 measures just 8.8 x 1.2 x 6 inches (WxHxD), thanks to an internal antenna design that helps keep the overall size small. Since it combines both a DSL modem and a wireless router into a single device, the DGND3300 lets you save space and outlets, and it eliminates the clutter of power and Ethernet cables. The sleek, black design of the DGND3300 makes it easy to find a place for in your home, and you can place it either horizontally or vertically on the included stand.
The modem is compatible with major DSL Internet providers and supports ITU 992.1 (G.dmt) Annex A, ITU 992.2 (G.lite), ITU 992.3 ADSL2 (G.dmt.bis), and ITU 992.5 ADSL2+.

King –
I was having trouble reaching part of my house (upstairs) with a good wifi signal and the phone company had just told me my Westell 327W was too old to receive software update and needed to be replaced. while waiting for their 2nd new router to arrive (the first new one they sent did not work at all)i decided i may need to buy a new modem and router with extended range and solve two problems at the same time. thats when i ordered this one.
the two band thing is a good idea and the way they explained it to me is the 5GHz is better for speed and less interference where distance is not important and the 2.4GHZ is the band for that extra distance when thats more important than quality or speed.i have been watching NetFlix on a Roku upstairs for months using my old Westell 327W with no problem (my router is downstairs). the 2.4GHz signal would reach my TV upstairs but i kept getting a Roku warning that the signal was so weak there was gonna be a problem watching movies. the 5GHz signal would not reach upstairs at all.
bottom line, using a wifi signal meter app on my Kindle Fire i compared the signal strength of the old Westell 327W and this Netgear Rangemax Dual Band unit and the old Westell signal was stronger anywhere i could get a wifi signal. i returned the Netgear for a refund.
Great idea having two bands so you can split your wireless stuff up and use some on both bands but forget about the RangeMax thing as it is no better than the router the phone company provides. there are areas of my house i still can’t get a wifi signal into.
