Did You Hear beta Testers....SH2.....

Hopes

Even if a new SH2 will be out next year (hopes not by the end of it) and IF will work better (are few routers with 2 antennas and still not so good especially if the antennas are 2 db) then still VM will do restrictions in that SH for sure (will not let us use the full options maybe like add our own dns serves etc)

Just go and get one linksys are good and in good price(even i have an other brand)
In the worst case scenario keep it always as spare for emergency (with VM is a plus to have a spare one)

Two antenna huh? Real impressive.

The 8-antenna WNDR3700 doesn't have enough in my opinion.

I would not get very excited for the 2 antennas.Of course is a plus any external antenna.
i have seen routers with 1 & 2 antennas and still not the best for wi-fi

I don't agree, their base product apparently works really well.

The problems seem to of started when vm started asking them to drive the price down, remove features, minimise the hardware to reduce cost.. Etc.. Circuit board inside doesn't resemble original pcb in any way, it's a completely different layout, VM even stripped out some of the internal areas.

I usually use their prosafe business products and they are pretty reliable.

To be honest I had to use the consumer grade Netgear for various jobs and they suck. All of them had the same issues with wireless as the SHUB. When we started to use Linksys, most of the problems went away. That said I also used Netgear hubs and switches for Ethernet networking and they were rock solid.
