I have been looking over and over for a suitable router. The current nighthawk MR70 we have not only is shit, but the satellite is bricked somehow and no longer works even after multiple resets. We have HEAVY traffic. I’m aware that most modern routers can handle lots of devices, but every router I’ve ever had has struggled with what we throw at it. We have 750mps download and upload speeds. I don’t think that’s the issue but it might be. We just need a router that can handle all that and will last. I’m really not into buying another netgear as this is our third. I can’t remember what we had in between but I think it was cheap. We also need an extender of some king because of the big house. Any info would be very helpful!
No router has been able to reach to my moms room, so we got the mesh system and the signal was good but the quality was eh. Now it’s broken. So when I get a new router what is my best way to get the signal to reach her room? Ethernet is not possible as that side of the house is newer and doesn’t have an access point to the old house.
I upgraded from the Netgear Nighthawk mesh Wi-Fi 6 system to a single point Wi-Fi 7 Netgear Nighthawk router. Coverage is significantly better even though there’s only one point. It is tri band, which allows for more connections. (60 WiFi 6 and 100 WiFi 7) And the speed is so much faster. I speed tested the Wi-Fi mesh system on my iPhone 17 Pro Max. I was averaging about 400 Mbps. I have a 1 Gbps plan. With the Wi-Fi 7 I’m getting around 900 Mbps. On Wi-Fi. Not a hardline connection. My latency dropped from an average of 25 to 27. Down to 10 to 12. I am also using a Netgear Nighthawk modem, which is rated for 1 Gbps.
