Steady internet with no dead spots anymore

Modern technology consumers, of which you and I are committed members, are always demanding and constantly on the look out for more power, increased functionality and a wider range of connectivity. NETGEAR believes it has a product that could help satisfy our needs.

Netgear's X4S is as far ahead of the curve as a router can get at this point. With 160MHz technology being the next full step ahead for large performance increases, this router is ready to handle whatever you throw at it.

Not long ago, Netgear released the Nighthawk X4S R7800, which is an updated, better equipped version of the Netgear Nighthawk X4 (that I reviewed not long ago) and, besides having an overall better wireless performance than its predecessor, it also comes with the MU-MIMO technology, working out of...

4X4 Router; MU-MIMO Technology; Stellar WiFi Performance; Great Storage Performance; Support For The 160 MHz Bandwidth Mode

Confusing and Sometimes Sluggish Interface

Not all routers are the same: for the more general purposes, the many modem routers available under $100 can also be good, but if we look for quality at all costs and we are immersed in a highly demanding environment (the gaming industry is one of these), we can not choose any router/modem, but we...

This works REALLY well. I bought this to replace a BT "Smarthub". Despite BT's claim to have the most reliable WiFi signal, it was not getting everywhere in our house. This works just as I hoped it would, I no longer suffer with a variable WiFi signal (which I used to see when standing in the same...

Fastest DSL connection of any modem I have used; Very stable, hasn't dropped out since having it

Expensive Haven't got QOS to work

If you live in a connected home with multiple wireless clients competing for bandwidth, it might be time to consider a Multi-User Multiple Input, Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) router , such as the Netgear Nighthawk X4S Smart Wi-Fi Router (R7800), which lists for $269.99.

Good port selection; Lots of management settings; Solid 5GHz and Multi-User Multiple Input, Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) throughput in testing

Pricey; Middling file-transfer speeds in our tests

Kitguru Says: The Netgear Nighthawk X4S D7800 is far from perfect. The software pales in comparison to some competitors' efforts, and the USB performance could be better. But in its favour, we got some really good results over both standard 3×3 and quad-stream 4×4 802.11ac, particularly at long...

Excellent 3×3 802.11ac wireless performance; Good network performance over all wireless channels at short and medium range; Full of useful hardware features

Uninspiring software interface; USB performance misses the mark

Phenomenal modem router, have had zero issues with it since purchasing 6 months ago. Super easy to set up and customise. No drop outs or dead zones in my entire house. If you're thinking about buying, I can tell you that you won't regret the Nighthawk AC2600
