I was using a Netgear R7000 for many years, it covered my whole 2200sqft home with 2.4G, and about 2 rooms with 5G. My ISP speed is 200/25, and that R7000 gave me about 210/23 while under 5G connection, and around 50/22 with 2.4G connection.

A monster of a router - this thing has it all!! I purchased it mainly because I found out that a Plex server can be run from it. I was sick of running Plex from my MacBook Pro and having to have the laptop open 24-7 for uninterrupted access to my movies & music.

So many to list..

I'm hard-pressed to think of any cons

replaced a mesh system works well , NOTE all the Netgear reviews are lumped together so when reading reviews concentrate on the ones for the item # you want , this item costs more but seems to be worth it with good results ,UPDATE the printer did not work well on wifi ,have to load lots of downloads...

I needed something to run all the families media, gaming and social need for various WiFi and Ethernet connected tech. The AD7000 did not disappoint, as soon as I switched my Virgin hub to modem mode, the set up was ABC and the result, no more shouting reset the internet across the halls, while I...

Good product, easy to setup. Wifi is not better than my previous nighthawk x6 and not likely to be materially better than any ac3200 class router with MU-MIMO but has greater range of connectivity options which is why I bought it.

Netgear's R9000 Nighthawk X10 is a needy Wi-Fi router. In order to experience its superfast local Wi-Fi speed, you first need an 802.11ad-enabled laptop and a high-end 10Gbps server. Chances are good you have neither.

Supporting the new 802.11ad Wi-Fi standard, the Netgear X10 can deliver unprecedentedly fast wireless speeds; It also features ultrafast wired connections for high-end servers; It has speedy network storage performance, and the built-in Plex server for media streaming works well

The router is expensive and bulky; The web interface is sluggish, unintuitive and doesn't allow for in-depth Wi-Fi customization; There are currently few devices that can take advantage of its high-end features, and its 802.11ad signal has extremely short range

Specs to note: Let's get one thing out of the way – this router is a beast. The four antennas look positively space-age, and feel rather plastic-y. That said, the body itself feels hardy.

The Netgear Nighthawk X10 is for anyone thinking about a long term investment in their home network or for tech enthusiasts who want the future, today. Whilst this is more pricey then other available routers, it offers a long lifespan because of the kind of throughput it is capable of and it has an...
