I'm tempted, it runs DD-WRT however SmallNetBuilder calls it "Cheap, But Not Worth It"

Oh and 10/100 LAN.

Just set up WNDR3300 with latest dd-wrt firmware, and it is slick. N laptop connects to the N radio and my old laptop w/ 2200B card connects to the BG radio - very fast & strong connections on both. Worth every penny.

Ordered. Hopefully it will retire my WRT300N.

ordered one

are there antenna ports in this thing? ie can i drill a hole and plug in an antenna?

 

[aggressor]

The blue leds are annoying, but luckily you can turn them off easily. Mine came pretty beat up (scratches, scuffs), but at least it came with everything it was supposed to.

No - All internal antennas - I suppose you could get crrafty - but no simple way of attaching additional antennas

 

[Lean L]

Yes i know they are all internal but i had a wrt160n some time ago that had two internal antenna along with ports on the board for potential external antennae. I was wonderinf if that was the same deal.

^pic of the kind of ports i'm talking about.

@iamanidiot: wndr3300 Board picture just traces on the board with this model, no antenna headers.

After sitting on the fence all week I finally bought one, 5GHz here I come

 

[Lean L]

hmm, thx for the pics OctaneZ, there does look to be five headers in the antenna paths though.. or are they not heads?

Can you post the link to the firmware that works for you? I've ordered one and don't want to brick mine by flashing the wrong one.

 

[SunnyD]

Yay, mine will be here today!

Just go to the DD-WRT site, search the forums for the model number, and pick up the latest Eko NEWD build you find.

edit: Happily running dd-wrt. Seems pretty nice.
