Okay, so the router looks really nice. One thing you'll notice when you unpack it is the lack of external antenna's and the fact the device is surprisingly light weight. Almost too light. The indicator lights next to every WAN-port are a nice little extra feature too.
One fired up and logged in with an internet browser the GUI is very nice and easy to use. So far the good.
Here is the bad, and the reason for me returning this product and leaving a bad score:
No device on my network could get any higher speeds then 72.2mbps. It almost looks like this router is locked and won't support any higher, though it should. I tried different security settings, different channels, set it from 20mhz channel width to 20-40 (auto), but to no avail. I cannot get 2.4GHZ device to connect at 150mbps. The signal strength was excellent, and I have no problems getting 150 mbps on any other N network. I only have one wireless signal in my area (I live out in the country) and that particular signal is on channel 1. I had the WD My Net N600 set to channel 6. There was absolutely no interference, yet I could not get any higher speeds then 72.2mpbs. I even turned of 5GHZ and security for testing purposes, but I couldn't win. It stayed stuck at 72.2mbps.
That was pretty disappointing, but even worse was the fact the router would drop my internet connection for about 10 seconds every 5 minutes. I upgraded the firmware, checked all the settings, but again: After a couple of frustrating hours I was unable to come up with a solution.
Needless to say I hooked up my ancient 12-year old - but rock solid - Linksys WRT54g again. Even though I am missing out on my improved internet speed of 30MBPS (which 54g is incapable of delivering, regardless of it being a 54mbps connection), at least with this old thing I have a stable connection again.
I will be looking for another router again. If this WD My Net N600 would work as promised it would've been aan awesome little device: As it stands though, it seems to be a bit of a hit-and-miss. I personally will not try another WD router again.
A few observations. 1. The device runs both 5 Ghz and 2.4 GHz access points simultaneously, but they are separate. In other words, you have to decide which access point to use for each device. Use 5 GHz unless it causes trouble. Devices on the two different access points are still on the same network. 2. The device has a guest network too. This is separate from the main network. However, anyone connected to the guest network still has access to your internet connection. In other words, be sure to have a fairly secure password for your guest account too.
Update 11/24/2107. We bought this in March 2015. It has recently (in the past few months) started acting flaky. Specifically, the Wi-Fi will randomly disconnects from the internet for anywhere from a minute to several minutes or longer. The Wi-Fi signal is still being sent (devices show they are connected to the Wi-Fi network), but there is no internet access via Wi-Fi. I am, however, able to get internet access by connecting to the router with an ethernet cable. So something inside the router is disconnecting the Wi-Fi "module" from the internet. Odd. Time to replace.
I keep my main wireless router behind my living room TV to ensure good coverage throughout the house. My previous router (a Linksys WRT54G) was starting to go a little weak, so I purchased this one. It works a bit better than I was expecting, considering the low purchase price. However, the 5 GHz band was interfering with certain channels on the TV. How do I know this? Because I tuned in to one of those channels during the interference and turned off the router. Voila, gone. I simply moved the router to the floor behind the entertainment center and this seems to have alleviated the issue. I'll keep an eye out for any effect on signal strength throughout the house and perhaps check back with an update.
