    Review NETGEAR EX8000 Nighthawk X6S Tri-Band WiFi Range Extender Reviewed

    I guess they would go with a wired AP, though for some reason, the companies making the networking equipment have not been pushing too much for 4 stream AC2600 APs.

    Review NETGEAR EX8000 Nighthawk X6S Tri-Band WiFi Range Extender Reviewed

    I use it, it is useful to just have an extra few TB of storage on the router for various reasons. for example, an extra backup copy of data. Since it is on all the time anyway, it is useful for basic media streaming when the other NAS is preoccupied with multiple PCs backing up to it. On the...

    Review NETGEAR EX8000 Nighthawk X6S Tri-Band WiFi Range Extender Reviewed

    They do need to lower the price. For the current price of the EX8000, you can buy a netgear R7800 and use it in AP mode, and not only have USB 3 support, but also eSATA and and read/write speeds nearing 100MB/s.

    WLAN vs Wired+AP for a housing community hotspot/CCTV setup

    Are you trying to provide access for the residents also, or is the network going to be used just for the cameras? Sharing a connection with residents, will be difficult and carry many risks. For example, what would you do if a resident does something that causes the FBI to come knocking on your...

    Help with QOS — what firmware for NG R7800 are the best for games on ps4?

    Depending on the model, you will often get a predefined set of QOS rules for which there is no way to really see inside of the set in order to determine what it is prioritizing, the only hope is that it is de-prioritizing certain traffic below that of uncategorized traffic, e.g., ensuring that...

    Help with QOS — what firmware for NG R7800 are the best for games on ps4?

    You can spend a while fine tuning to get the QOS set just right, but if you want to keep the pings low, you could set the download and upload settings to 70% of your actual WAN throughput. it will make things slower, but for low bandwidth things like games, it will also mean that your ping will...

    How to limit user's internet speed when using low-tech ISP WIFI router?

    What is the speed you are paying for (upload and download)? If you want a method that does not need any additional software, you can try the following. (works well if the client you want to throttle can only use a single band). It is rare to find a router with no web UI at all, they will at...

    Custom firmware build for R7800 v. 1.0.2.38SF

    1.0.2.38SF is working pretty well, while write speeds are still lower than the stock firmware for some reason, it at least doesn't have that weird issue introduced in version 1.0.2.36 where I could not write files larger thn 2GB in size, and if you write a file that is 1KB over 2GB, it would...

    Budget Router for covering 2200 sqft apartment

    While risky, you may have to either search for a used netgear R7000 or other high transmit power router. If performance is not much of a concern, (e.g., no streaming), and if you already have the place wired for Ethernet, then you could cheap out and get 4-5 of those n150 travel routers, and...

    Why You Don't Need MU-MIMO

    With MU-MIMO providing some benefit in most cases, isn't a router with it still objectively better than one without it if it does not have much impact on the price? Also, I was wondering, is it possible to implement features such as 802.11v and 802.11r and have them work across brands and...

    SPONSORED: How Powerline Can Solve Your Wi-Fi Woes

    Hard to say, I have a 600Mbps rated netgear powerline adapter, and can get close to 400Mbps with a distance of around 30 ft, though only if the right outlets are used. They are sensitive to which side of the circuit breaker panel you are connected to. I currently use my R7800 and 1 wired AP...

    Open Mesh A40 & A60 Access Points Reviewed

    I understand that from the article and product info, but it does not do much for a user who wants to make adjustments to their network settings or move the APs to a different location and setting them up again. To me it seems like if they EOL the device and kill the cloud service, you can never...

    Open Mesh A40 & A60 Access Points Reviewed

    My worry is what they will consider the lifetime of the access point to be? For example, what if they device that the life of your AP, is 3 years and then kill the cloud access as the product is now end of life?

    And So It Begins... Asus Announces First 802.11ax Router

    I wonder, will they do a quad band version, 1 2.4GHz radio, 2, 5GHz radios, and 1 802.11ad radio? Also, are they finally ditching the decrepit 1GbE?

    R7800 – problem with Verizon FIOS upload speeds

    The remote DVR function is when you use the fios mobile app or the verizon website to set recordings on your DVR and edit scheduled recordings. When not using their router at the main, at best I can get it working for a few hours before they disable it. I wish there was a way to fully trick...
