My router gave up and warranty is up, so it's time to upgrade.
I've been looking at Netgear WNDR3700, which has gotten nice reviews:

However, I cannot find any information about whether the box has a built-in fan - not to mention if it's susceptible to coil whine like some other routers I've tested (particular Billion models).
If anybody has one, could drop in with a note whether the unit has a fan and if there are other noises emanating from the unit?
Thanks!
Fast fanless 802.11n wireless router?
I've had one of these for about three months now. It's proven to be a great router so far. Strong wireless signal, no dropped connections, and top notch performance (well, in 5GHz anyway -- way too much traffic in the 2.4GHz range).
As far as noise goes, I don't think it's an issue. It seems quiet to me, but living in the city, I also have a higher noise floor.
