    NETGEAR Nighthawk X6 AC3000 Dual Band Smart WiFi Router, Gigabit Ethernet, Compatible with Amazon Echo/Alexa (R7900)

    • So far, seeing faster speeds on all our wireless devices, sometimes 2 or 3 times faster
    • But then the device failed after 5 months
    • We had some issues in our house when walking from room to room, with the wifi dropping, utilizing both bands and naming them all the same SSID with same password our smart devices auto-choose the best connection/
    • After I upgraded to this and split the devices between the three bands things are much better
    • Awesome device does everything you could need and then some.
    • I don't know if this was just one of those random things or if this device was unreliable, but in any case, customer service has been a nightmare to deal with
    • no lag whatsoever UPDATE: now over 40 devices
    • So I basically tried a faulty device at my own expense.
    • The device was very easy to setup using the wizard
    • Most users who are asking for more power must be missing the point that the router itself is capable of sending the signal far enough it’s up to their portable devices to be powerful enough to reply back to the router because it’s a two way communication process
    • I also have less lag on my household's wireless devices
    • I have over 20 smart devices running through it and and they all work remarkable well
    • We can have every device running at the same time, and never a problem
    • The router has a ReadyShare feature that supports a NAS device which can be as simple as just a hard drive
    • With the Nighthawk X6 R7900, you can connect your smart devices to one of the bands and your streaming devices to another so that you do not lose throughput
    • Best device I bought on Amazon.
    • Great and powerful device
    • Love the tri-band to split up devices
    • However, if you've got a bunch of mobile devices (tablets, cell phones, etc.), watch a lot of Amazon Prime Video or other streaming video, download games for PC, Playstation, or Xbox, have WiFi capable devices around your home such as smart light bulbs, Amazon Echo, or a smart thermostat, then you would be well-served to grab the Nighthawk X6 or its big brother, the X8.What it comes down to is how much bandwidth you need, and how much speed you have available in the first place
    • Strong router able to support all my smart home devices
    • /s read rate despite the use of a compatible 3.0 device capable of outputting 100x that (see picture)
