As I understnad it, the difference between the WNDR3700v4 and WNDR4300 is that the 4300 has a slightly better wireless chip. Unfortunantly from what I've seen so far, they did something wierd with the storage and as a result the stock openwrt can't access it. I've seen reports of people getting it to run from an initramfs, but this means that no settings can be preserved across reboot. If you've seen anything different, I'd be very interested to hear about it (I picked up a 3700v4 and a couple 4300's for testing) David Lang > I'd be interested in your netperf testing setup.
