Best Router I've ever owned!
Prior to buying the
XR500 I'd owned a budget Asus Router. That little router served me well
for many years but it always ran really hot and we finally had to retire
it. We recenty moved to a much larger house than we had been in about
2700 Sq. Ft. from 1400 Sq. Ft. and in addition purchased several 4K TV's
which we didn't have before. We noticed a lot of buffering issues and
sometimes simple stuff just wouldn't load at all. We also had low signal
strength upstairs which I believe was part of the issue. Although even
over Ethernet on a 300Mbps connections we'd have issues. I read some
things online stating that some older routers may have trouble with the
added bandwidth 4K brings as well.As a gamer I always enjoy getting the
best hardware I can for my budget. Seeing as how my router is the
backbone of just about everything I do I wanted to invest in it. So far
absolutely no regrets. Haven't had one hiccup yet. I have full signal
strength throughout my entire home and beyond and have not noticed any
drop outs which were happening frequently prior. I haven't come anywhere
close to playing with all the settings haha but I'll have some fun with
that one of these days. I just hope it lasts a very long time because
I'm very happy with this Router. Way to go Netgear!
