"Remote play to xbox sx (xbox wired) with 5 ping on iphone, very playable, all while wife and son are streaming something on tv/phones/tablets all on wifi."
"The router though, I really wanted the ability to manage the devices connected to it and prioritize certain devices and applications. The one I have handles things the way I wanted."

"I had a Netgear Nighthawk router that ended up getting a bug in it after a firmware upgrade. ... The bug didn't allow me to filter by MAC address. ... I had to end up actually editing the HTML of the router page to get it to work. ... It was a known issue on Netgear's website for years, but they never fixed it."
"I had a Netgear Nighthawk system that would randomly start spazzing out and start dropping packets on the wireless network and need a full power cycle every once in a while."
"After following the instructions to upgrade my firmware, it was peaking at 80% of Ram usage"

Torgud_ 0.4Always, always get a seperate modem and router. As far as netgear specifically, I used one of their NightHawk AC1750 for 8 years with no problems as a standalone router. Only just deprecated it for something new because they stopped doing firmware updates for it.
SimplBiscuit 0.3For what its worth I was having annoying minor issues with my fiber services. I'm work in field ops for spectrum so I checked things out and everything is good with light. So I disconnected the wifi7 they gave me tossed it in a closet and grabbed my 6 year old Netgear AC1750 and haven't looked back.
promaster9500 0.0I 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.
Academic-Swimming919 0.0I 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.
Accomplished-Ruin945 0.0I moved from a Netgear Nighthawk router and extender to an Orbi network... Well worth it to me.
AppropriateDevice84 0.0They 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.
aztekca 0.0Yeah their speeds are terrible man! I swapped out to a nighthawk router for $300 at Best Buy has been worth it
Bananaland_Man 0.0they are awesome on a deal, and netgear nighthawk are fantastic... not that thing you linked...
