EX3700 not supporting 802.11n at all allthough promised in the datasheet
Although stated in the datasheet that the EX3700 is supporting • IEEE® 802.11 b/g/n 2,4 GHz • IEEE® 802.11 a/n/ac 5 GHz in reality EX3700 get's no connection to 802.11n WLANs (tested with differen...
Hi plemans,
how much you'd bet ?
Tested with 3 different routers from Cisco, Zyxel and AVM.
So you say all of them have problems but not the Netgear device?
As you can read above firmware is the most recent one.
Can you share a screnshot of you parents router connection showing the connection to Existing Network (5GHz in n mode) wih a Signal Strength >> 54 Mbps ?
Why is in the UserManual the 802.11n mode not documented ?

As you can read above firmware is the most recent one. Stating its the most recent doesn't help as it changes. Others use these forums in case they have problems. An actual firmware number helps more than "the most recent one".
Can you share a screnshot of you parents router connection showing the connection to Existing Network (5GHz in n mode) wih a Signal Strength >> 54 Mbps ? Nope, I don't live there and won't be visiting for quite a while. (starting to get a sense that your a bit upset with me for some reason)
Why is in the UserManual the 802.11n mode not documented ? Good question. It wouldn't be the first time something wasn't put in a manual. I'm not netgear, I can't say why they did/didn't do something. Again, member of the public trying to help you.
Do you have WMM enabled on the routers you're using? If this is disabled, it limits link rates to 54Mbps.
1- Yes I hope no one gets paid here.
2 - Spent to much time testing with this device.
3 - Firmware Version V1.0.0.76_1.0.49
4 - Nope. Wanted to get a fast evidence that device can do it. Maybe a bit impatient.
5 - Yes. One of the reasons why I considered that the device can't do it.
6 - Yes WMM is enabled. The link rate with 54 Mb/s was done with the g mode connection. On n mode I got no connection at all.
But pls. see my other reply.
Got it working in principle but still not as intended.
