Reviews around time (2.49 of 5)

  • But for bandwidth, I'd have a hard time recommending this unless you have new devices that can use the AX functionality and you need a new router right now.
  • Time will tell how well this works with all my devices.
  • The router (Netgear R7000) hangs and needs a restart every day, sometimes a few time during a day
  • Don't waste your time getting the new AX (wifi 6) tech since its not readily available in devices they said
  • In the aforementioned basement, I can usually hit in the neighborhood of 400 megabits sustained, but on this router, it had a hard time pushing more than 200
