I was looking for a replacement for my FritzBox 7270, which was responsible for me for WLAN, and at including my Gigaset S685IP (VoIP phone) is connected. Unfortunately, covers the same 7270 only one frequency band from, otherwise it would still in use today. For Internet FritzBox Unitymedia is responsible for me, when I have the Wi-Fi turned off, as this I hereby runs too unstable.
In the test I was also carrying a TP-Link N750, N900 and an Asus Netgear N900 a.
________________
At this point I must respond to the special problems my neighborhood. So I could know much about my problems finding the right quality shielded cable for my device, write. In my little art corner ;-) are approximately 3 * 4 meters distributed, two routers, an Ethernet switch, 2 phones, a television, a small 5.1 system including subwoofer and speakers, a Blu-Ray player, two desktop computers, a notebook, a netbook, a printer (WLAN), and 6 overvoltage protection bars around. Additionally an Android tablet and an Android smartphone transmits through the area. With me around the corner is also still a cellular antenna, and an amateur radio operator lives diagonally opposite. And when I look at the ever-growing list of WLANs achievable, I come to the conclusion that now probably at least one wireless router is in every home in the neighborhood.

Upon completion of the tests I had first decided for the Netgear N900, since last firmware update had helped him to additional stability. Overall, it seemed to me ultimately even here in the WLAN still too many disconnects. Although these were * just * about 2 times the week before, but what I'm still too frequent. In addition, it is not possible to programmers of firmware Netgear simply to reduce the firewall in AP mode clever, which is why it came here again to interesting phenomena.
As for the wireless stability, the TP-LINK finished last. Here there were several times daily problems; sometimes even hourly. And the Asus this was 2-3 times a day the case.
Only the My Net N600 ran here consistently stable, which is why I ultimately reactivated him. Above all, he is next to the 7270 the only geteste device in which my VoIP phone had never lost the connection, and in which I have always a classic clear reception when making calls.

I have configured it via the browser (Firefox), which is no problem. Here one notices the device, but at that time not yet producing WD router. So the configuration options (for example, the number of port forwarding) are limited, and in AP mode, and this was the reason why I first chose the Netgear, can not be reduced to the known devices to access. Although I still hope here on a coming Firmwarupdate.
Conclusion: Who does not require Gigabit ports, and whom each (theoretical) range 300 Mbit / s per channel, acquires with the little WD reliable and above all stable device.
Should you have any questions about specific points of my review, so I answer that like in the comments.
Should I still notice something negative or positive, so I'll mention this here.
