Netgear N600 wireless dual-band router

The N600 wireless dual-band router - premium edition (WNDR3800) is said to be the first home router to offer Clear Channel Selector and the first to create private cloud file sharing through the companyÂ’s ReadySHARE cloud service.

Clear Channel Selector, previously available only in more costly wireless routers for businesses, automatically detects when the Wi-Fi channel in use becomes overcrowded and switches to another less-crowded channel. The device creates a more reliable home Wi-Fi network by reducing sudden disconnects and slowdowns.

ReadySHARE Cloud transforms a USB hard drive or flash drive, plugged into the USB port of the N600 premium edition, into a private cloud storage system to provide secure access and sharing within the home network or across the internet. Shared files can be accessed from any computer with an internet connection, as well as through apps from the company for iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch and Android smartphones and tablets.

The router can be configured through a simple browser-based interface accessible on PCs, Macs, smartphones, the iPad and other tablets.

It is built around a 680 MHz processor backed by 16 MB of flash memory and 128 MB of RAM.
