Nighthawk XR1000 SLOW....SLOW...SLOW...!!!!!!!
Hello World, I decided upgrade my old router, so i thought with the new Nighthawk XR1000. My old router is a Netgear Nighthawk X4S. Believe it or not, this new router is performing much slower th...
Not at the moment. I use mostly default setting on my XR. Manual channel 1 and 40. This depends on any wifi neighbors you may have around you. 1,6, and 11 are primary channels to manually use on 2.4Ghz. 36 thru 48 and 149 to 161 on 5Ghz.
I have Smart Connect enabled. I believe MIMO is as well. Been running well since I put the XR online: 10/5
I also keep a laptop fan cooler under the router as well. Keeps it cool.
My home is roughly 6200 sq ft.
I was looking at the EAX20-AX1800 extender.
WAX20:
—Band 1: 0.6Gbps @ 2.4GHz - 1024-QAM
—Band 2: 1.2Gbps @ 5GHz - 1024-QAM
XR1000:
- 2.4GHz AX: 2x2 (Tx/Rx) 1024/256 QAM
20/40MHz, up to 600Mbps
- 5GHz AX: 4x4 (Tx/Rx) 1024-QAM
20/40/80/160MHz, up to 4.8Gbps
Would not be a great match and the EAX20 would reduce the speed between the XR and connecting wifi devices at the EAX.
EAX80:
2.4GHz AX: 4x4 (Tx/Rx) 1024-QAM
40MHz, up to 1.2Gbps
— 5GHz AX: 4x4 (Tx/Rx) 1024-QAM
160MHz, up to 4.8Gbps
