Considering NightHawk Pro Gaming xr500
So i am currently on dsl right now in the middle of no where. i get 5mbps and was wondering if a NightHawk Pro Gaming xr500 would help boost my speed at all, and if anyone knows by how much that would...
Just be cause your having issues with your router doesn't mean others are or do have issues.
I have not been having problems with my XR700 other than the fact that it's not fully supporing of 1Gb WAN to lan speeds for some reason. QoS is working for me.
This post is in regards to the XR500 and the XR500 is working well for others.
Please keep to your own relevant posts and experiences.

if you tell the truth on these forums the paid shils come out in full force as you can see, flurry dont have BUT this problem. lol if he can slow down long enough to read the upload speed you have he would probly aggree you need that speed. buy the way furry, didnt you just get the xr700 a couple weeks ago. lol I've had mine since it was released. lol
