    R7000 & Netgear = Worthless. Next steps?

    I deleted the content of my first post, but cannot delete the topic. I really enjoy this forum and all the value that comes from it and recognize my post is ruining that. If this thread could be closed I'd appreciate that. If not, this is the best I can do.

    The internet is endless opportunity for the self righteous.

    R7000 & Netgear = Worthless. Next steps?

    That's the great thing about the internet. However, I'd recommend you go check my account out on Amazon - it's the only review I've ever left and I've had the same account for at least 3 years now. So I definitely don't "like" to spew venom as you imply. In fact, I believe the pages of this...

    R7000 & Netgear = Worthless. Next steps?

    This is the second high end router I've bought, and as mentioned earlier the first was RT-N66U which ran in the same congested area without problem. Before that, some rent-a-router that also had no problems. So yeah I guess I'm a noob to the consumer router space, but it must be where all the...

    R7000 & Netgear = Worthless. Next steps?

    Also it's kind of funny because I'm listening to the new Arcade Fire album here and as the album ends "If telling the truth is not polite then I guess we'll have to fight." I don't really aim to fight, but I do feel I've told the truth. Some other food for thought is no I have not tried the...

    R7000 & Netgear = Worthless. Next steps?

    I left reviews on 3 sites and my forum post here, which makes your "all over the net" comment certainly seem like a smear toward me. Two of these three review sites I have receipts from to prove I am a verified buyer, and both R7000's experienced the same problem. A handfull of people have...

    NETGEAR R7000 and Chromecast

    Isn't everything Google does beta? The SDK is still beta too :) Regardless, it works with my Asus and many other people's routers just fine even though it is beta.

    NETGEAR R7000 and Chromecast

    Please test out tab casting with Chromecast as that is where the problems seems to be. If you can get stable tab casting that would be good to know. I have to assume desktop casting also has a problem.

    NETGEAR R7000 and Chromecast

    If you don't mind try some tab casting. Once it loses connection (assuming it does) if you immediately try and recast the tab you'll see your chromecast is missing until it auto reconnects.

    R7000 & Netgear = Worthless. Next steps?

    Hey thanks everyone for offering to help a crab-o like me. As a disclaimer just had our first baby a week ago and my sleep is non-existent so that's not helping. Here's what I did with Netgear: 1. Disable WMM for both 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz bands and test. No improvement, both Chromecast and...

    R7000 & Netgear = Worthless. Next steps?

    This is a big flaw with base functionality and zero workaround. There are other flaws with the device I was well aware of and accepted based on the review on this site, and I do believe that falls on my shoulder as an early adopter. However base functionality? It's a wireless router for...

    R7000 & Netgear = Worthless. Next steps?

    I think just getting better coverage throughout my house is the most important. I'm on the phone 6-8 hours a day as I'm a remote worker doing cloud design for a company in another State. So I like the mobility to work throughout my house rather than confine myself to one room. My N66U is on...

    R7000 & Netgear = Worthless. Next steps?

    I didn't expect it to be done within minutes, and as I mentioned above I gave the 2-3 tech support 36 hours to at least touch base. I see you are a fan of their products, and that's fine, but don't twist things to make me the bad guy here for sharing my story. I did nothing wrong here but buy...

    Deleted to avoid further attacks on each other and due to distraction to community.

    Client VPN Help - Merlin Build

    Sorry I'm trying my best to navigate OpenVPN guides under tomato and get this configured for my BT Guard account, and I have searched this forum every way I can think, but I'm still unsuccessful. I have the 246.19 merlin build. This is the config file recommended by BT Guard for Linux - I...

    VPN Question

    New user to the N66U. I've setup a VPN, primarily with the goal of connecting to media I have stored on a drive connected via USB, when I'm on the road. Was hoping to be able to pull in media either via Samba or even DLNA. I'm an Apple user, so I'd be connecting via iPad or iPhone on the...
