Digital camera reviews of NETGEAR 5 GHz Wireless-N HD Access Point/Bridge (WNHDE111)
Digital camera Review: An excellent 5 GHz WAP.
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased the WNHDE111 to replace my 6-year-old D-Link DWL-5000AP 802.11a WAP. Its Atheros SuperAG mode has provided my laptops with reliable and snappy 108 Mbps WiFi connectivity with a Linksys WPC51 802.11a/b card and my current TRENDnet TEW-501PC 802.11a/g card. While the D-Link supports 152 bit WEP, even with a complex 32 digit key it was still WEP and MAC filtering didn't offer much more comfort in the security department.
(Early on, D-Link touted updates "to be made available in the future" supporting WPA (and DHCP among others); these never materialized. I have on file email from their support informing me of no intention to release ANY updates and in no uncertain terms indicated they could care less.)
A few years ago, I had the only WiFi access point within several blocks of my house - smack dab in the middle of the Phoenix, AZ metroplex. Today, I can scan nine APs from my living room. I became uncomfortable having a so-so secure AP on the air, even if it was 5 GHz.
The WNHDE111 does not support SuperAG, so in the interest of advanced security I have 54 Mbps speed tops. This is a trade off I can live with using 802.11a connectivity until I decide to spring for a dual band 802.11n laptop adapter. I'm now warm and fuzzy using AES WPA2-PSK with a nice complex 16 digit key. And MAC filtering. Given that 5 GHz WiFi is "obsolete," chances are my WNHDE111 doesn't even show up on any of my neighbors' systems. I probably have the most secure WAP in the 'hood!
I can't vouch for functionality other than 802.11a. That meets all my expectations right now and even on low power, the WNHDE111 offers full bandwidth throughout my house and on my 1/3 acre property. Its close proximity to a TEW-430 802.11b/g AP presents no issues for either unit. Added bonuses are an additional RJ-45 port, a real on/off switch and a three position AP/Bridge/Auto switch.
The WNHDE111 has a splendid Web configuration interface with a sidebar loaded full of helpful information. All aspects of this WAP's feature set are highly configurable and the automatic firmware update worked without a hitch. My out-of-the-box v1.2.3_1.0.1 went to v1.2.7_1.0.1 in just a few minutes.
Based on the Atheros AR5133 radio and the MAC/baseband AR5415 chips, I would insist on nothing less than top performance in all phases of operation. Atheros has always delivered in that arena. My Netgear/Atmel ME-102 802.11b WAP went most of 7 years before failing and my Netgear/Zyxel RO-318 router has been plugging away for nine years 24/7. I'm trusting Netgear for this kind of reliability in this WNHDE111.

Minimal Interference = Outstanding Performance
Most wireless devices today, such as Wi-Fi devices, cordless phones, Bluetooth devices, microwaves, and baby monitors, operate on the 2.4 GHz frequency, creating a lot of traffic and interference. The WNHDE111, however, operates on the 5 GHz band, which has up to 23 free channels and avoids the interference from most other devices.
The WNHDE111 complies with the latest Wireless-N draft specification for the fastest possible Wireless-N speeds. Automatic Quality of Service (QoS) ensures prioritization of voice, video and gaming traffic. It also supports wireless "ad-hoc" mode for wireless LAN peer-to-peer gaming and supports multicast point-to-multi-point HD video streaming.
The WNHDE111 supports WiFi Protected Access (WPA2-PSK, WPA-PSK), and 64-bit and 128-bit WEP encryption and is backed by a 1-year warranty.
