WNDR3700 not working with Media Link N USB Adapter
I have had this router for approximately 9 months and its a pretty decent router for the most part. I also purchased 3 Medialink wireless USB N adapters and they can only connect to the Wireless G net...
Hello from Medialink Products,
Your Medialink Wireless Adapters are 802.11b/g/n 2.4Ghz Single Band N Adapters so they are not capable of "seeing" or connecting to the N signal on the 5Ghz wavelength but they can connect to an N signal on the 2.4Ghz wave. However, since this router, the WNDR3700 claims to be a Simultaneous Dual Band router that means it should be able to transmit N speeds on the 2.4Ghz wave as well.
I can't point you to the exact settings within the router to check but hopefully knowing that you are looking for the 2.4Ghz N settings will help and perhaps a moderator here can help you further.
Thanks,
Medialink Customer Support
