What's The Best Netgear Wireless Wifi Router Available Today?
Netgear has so many products out right now it's diffiicult to know what's the best thing happening right now. Sometimes you just want the best regardless of cost but the most expensive doesn't always...
S-Warren The R7000 (AC1900) really is the sweet spot for Netgear and Asus actually. Negear's latest R7000 firmware seems to be quite stable, (less complaints) and, also a variety of 3rd party firmware to choose. from . I have two of them, running 3rd party firmware. So far, so good, on the R7000 front. Try to select routers that have Broadcomm chipsets (which the R7000 is based on). They seem to be more stable and also, have better firmware. Check ou the wikidevi site for router info. Just plug in the router in upper right search bar.
Their top of the line for home router is the Nighthawk X6 AC3200 router. that being said, this router may exceed your needs. The AC3200 is meant for home who is data intensive such as gaming, straming, watching online movies simultaneously. it also has 3 wifi bands(1 x 2.4GHz and 2 x 5GHz) with load balancing and VPN capabilities. this is the router I have at home, it has been able to handle anything I throw at it. Here's the link to it.
