I suggest a Flint 2, or some other openwrt compatible unit. I have a Netgear R7450, that is my older gateway router, flashed with gargoyle (openwrt), that does access restrictions with no problems. Apparently, nowadays to get that kind of granular control, Netgear wants you to pay for their services application.
I use a Netgear Nighthawk R7450 and have 0 issues. Make sure you have a strong PSK and make sure you don't expose unnecessary ports. If you don't open any ports and have a strong PSK your network should be secure.
I dont know about this model but fuck Netgeat Nighthawk. I owned a different one few years ago that was supposed to be a a high spec version, and it caused me infinite problems, which all disappeared when I bought a different one.
I agree. I have tried numerous Netgear products, going back to a PCMCIA card, and all of them have had problems. The last Nighthawk I had constantly resulted in "Connected, No internet" for too many devices.
I moved from a Netgear Nighthawk router and extender to an Orbi network... Well worth it to me.
They were all WiFi 6. I used a Nokia linksys Atlas, a TPLink one and a Netgear Nighthawk. Except for the Nokia (wifi5), none of them even came close to the signal penetration I got from the GLinet flint 2.
Yeah their speeds are terrible man! I swapped out to a nighthawk router for $300 at Best Buy has been worth it
they are awesome on a deal, and netgear nighthawk are fantastic... not that thing you linked...
May mga spare Netgear Nighthawk ako na ginamit lang for testing. I can sell to you if need mo for a very cheap price. Dual band and of course gigabit ports na plus stronger wifi signals.
Second this. I've got a Netgear Nighthawk router too and have been very happy with it.
