Posted: Fri Jan 07, 2011 0:54 Post subject: Netgear WNDR3800 - New N600
Netgear has developed a new version of the N600 router however I dont know if it has Atheros chipset, it is called: N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router—Premium Edition (WNDR3800)
Specs:
680 MHz powerful MIPS 32-bit processor
Memory: 16 MB flash and 64 MB RAM
Five (5) (1 WAN, 4 LAN) Gigabit Ethernet ports
Advanced Quality of Service (QoS)
Supports Wireless Multimedia (WMM) based QoS
Standards:
IEEE® 802.11 b/g/n 2.4 GHz
IEEE 802.11 a/n 5.0 GHz
Five (5) (1 WAN and 4 LAN) Gigabit Ethernet ports with auto-sensing technology
IPv6 Support (Internet Protocol Version 6)
What's new ?
I have only spotted two new features:
1) USB printer sharing support. [ReadySHARE® Printer—USB port for wireless printing.]
2) NETGEAR Genie. [Easy dashboard control to manage, monitor, and repair home networks]
-- I would like to see better dd-wrt support for this device than wnd3700. Peace _________________ Powered by DD-WRT
Hardware specs look EXACTLY like WNDR3700. Probably just different firmware.
Its N 600....
And what does that mean in your opinion? Those are just letters and numbers in the name. Probably designed to make you think what you thought. Nowhere in the specs they mention anything about MIMO configuration. Hardware looks EXACTLY like WNDR3700. Two streams in each band, i.e. 300mbps + 300mbps.

Bingo!
FCC ID: PY308300092
Reference no.: RF980618L05C
Description of Permissive Change
This report is prepared for FCC class II permissive change. The differences
compared with the original report are changing model name, product name, 5GHz
antenna and re-layout the board. _________________ Kernel panic: Aiee, killing interrupt handler!
My god, three streams? That is REALLY going to help the congestion.
Do we really like the idea that one person could clog up the whole 2.4Ghz spectrum? When is anyone EVER going to get to use it?
Now I get it, there is 5Ghz too, but even there I think its foolish for them to be pushing technology that could allow a single user to monopolise a huge chunk of the spectrum.
Even if it fails over to two or single stream mode in a busy area, they are just asking for complaints then from people who cannot get more than a single stream working. _________________ 2xWZR-HP-G300NH(B) (B0 B0) DD-WRT v24-sp2 (06/14/11) std 17201
One antenna swapped for an RP-SMA connector and 14dB external Yagi.

These are "Spatial Division Multiplexing" streams, they occupy the same spectral channel of bandwidth (20MHz or 40MHz). By the way, 802.11n standard allows up to four such streams. 600Mbps anyone?
