Good news! I will wait then to see what happens. While this info is direct from Netgear and I have no reason to doubt it.... I'm still wondering if it will pan out. Appears that release dates have been given in the past and then pushed back. Of course, I've never seen a post before giving a date so this is a good sign.
I am certainly looking forward to being able to buy the 3500L (or whatever Netgear is going to call it). I don't really understand the open source vs binary issues but in all, the features on this router look to be pretty good. I came up with a list of things I wanted on a router and this is the only one that had everything.

Dear MyOPenRouter community members,
Sincere apologies for the delay in WNR3500L availability. Long story short, we had some glitches that we encountered that needed to be fixed before we ship.
Good news is we are shipping to some key retailers and EComm websites in US as of this week. For International customers, products will be available early January.
In US, you will be able to buy them on some retail shelves and ECommerce websites by mid next week and may be as early as Monday of next week. I would first try Frys Electronics and Newegg.com mid next week to order your WNR3500L.
Again, sincere apologies from NETGEAR on the delay.
Merry Christmas and Best Wishes for the Holiday.
Regards
-Som Pal Choudhury

Thank you for finally giving us a date, but could you please address this claim?

If this is true, you could be in violation of the GPL.

I'm still looking for a vendor that is stocking the router. Not found one yet. If anyone finds one, please let me know!

I would first try Frys Electronics and Newegg.com mid next week to order your WNR3500L.Still looking for this router. I've found two online retailers that claim that they have it in-stock. I called one and they have 2. I found it odd that a router a company would only have 2 when they would have just received them a few days ago. They were not willing at this time to check to confirm it was the 3500L.
Again, sincere apologies from NETGEAR on the delay.

Don't look now, but it's actually in stock...
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833122334&Tpk=wnr3500l
I just ordered mine (finally!). :-)
December 25, 2009 1:01 AM
SWEET! I just looked a couple of hours ago and did not see it listed. Perhaps I missed it... perhaps it was just added. Good price and good price on shipping as well. I should have it on Tuesday. Good thing as I need to return the other router I bought by 1/3.
Thanks caxlancuik!

Just ordered mine!
I only recently came across this router and website. After trying a Belkin N+ router (and returning it), I am excited to put this one to use. Unlike many of you, I have only had to wait about a week to see it in stock. Looking forward to being a regular contributor on the forum and hope the 3500L will provide great service.
Merry Christmas and Happy Networking.
December 25, 2009 10:35 AM
Hooray! Ordered! It's like waking up to find a present from Santa. Thanks Netgear!

Well, the sick part is that the box contains 3 boxes :-). And I made a second one to compare it to the dreaded atheros/arm based 854 or something like that. This one looks nicer, it sounds nicer, and the PSU looks like it won't fry the system :-).
Now to hook it up with tagging and QoS to my GS108T's which I have in abbundance (replacing a HP2524 noise generator) .

Now to hook it up with tagging and QoS to my GS108T's which I have in abbundance (replacing a HP2524 noise generator) .Unfortunately the PSU is frying my ears. I've never heard a PSU like that make that much high pitched whining. Tommorow I will probably hear the other two. But no, you don't want that noise in your house... It's as if any minute an old CRT will burn down.

I don't see it in stock. When will Amazon have it?
February 25, 2010 2:04 PM
I have not been able to find a WNR3500L. They may have been available two months ago but now no one actually has them in stock. By no one I mean Frys, Dell, Amazon, Newegg. I am patient but reasonably soon I will need a wireless N router. I am not complaining but I am puzzled. Netgear works in mysterious ways.
