I bought on Monday Netgear's WNDR3800 (on Costco), but later today I found about the TL-WR1043ND in a local technology store.

So far the WNDR3800 device have been working good with DD-WRT latest version 06-08-12-r19342 (BrainSlayer-V24-preSP2). I get great speed and excellent wireless reception with this device.

However I wonder if the TL-WR1043ND is a better device than the WNDR3800. Have anyone try both or could give me some feedbacks?

Thanks!

Edit: I have updated the question, because the original model I asked for does not support DD-WRT. So the new model from the same brand is TL-WR1043ND.

Hopefully you are aware that the TP-link you listed is currently un-supported by dd-wrt? Be that as it may, between the 2 routers you listed, the WNDR3800 would currently be the only one you could use with dd-wrt.

Future support for the TP-Link may happen, but the devs need a donated router for the port.

Ha! I'm sorry! I thought it was compatible, maybe it was other TP-link model. I'll check what other routers they have in the local tech store to see any other compatible with DD-WRT.

Edit: I have updated the OP with a new model that is compatible with DD-WRT.

Checked with the local technology store to see what other routers they had that support DD-WRT and they mentioned that TL-WR1043ND supports it.

So my new question is:
Between the WNDR3800 and the TL-WR1043ND, wich one is the best one?
Mostly interested in speed and range.

Thanks for the Help!

The WNDR3800 by far.. the flash, the RAM, the CPU, the dual band, the range..

Most definitely. The TP-Link is good but specs wise the netgear is better.
