Well I did more testing with that setup this weekend, and now, I can’t recommend the WNDA 3100 anymore. Things change fast!

So I had to try and find a new adapter to see if I could get reliable results.  So I found a new adapter to test with:  the  affordable .   The fastest I had previously seen the Trendnet TEW-624 go was 30 Mbps  (with the Netgear RangeMax Dual Band WNDR 3300).  The Trendnet USB connected right away to the WNR 3500. The first test I ran was Transmit, and it went really fast: 64 Mbps!  I didnt trust the results so I ran it again and got another 64 Mbps result. On the third transmit test run I got 71 Mbps! So thats the new record.

I also did receive testing, and got record breaking results: a solid 42 Mbps!  So there it is.  Congratulations to the new champs:   The Netgear WNR3500 RangeMax Wireless N Router and The Trendnet TEW-624UB USB adapter.

Oh..I don’t like the WNDA 3100 anymore because during transmit testing it dropped its connection, twice. After the second connection drop, I decided to flunk the product, its either gone bad or just flaky. Either way its not reliable.
