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.
S-Warren I have actually relegated my R7000's with me, to AP mode, and my other R7000 is running in router mode, in a different location.
Both routers are have 100-120mb (not in the US) to play with. Both R7000's are running an Xvortex/ Merlin firmware port. The R7000 that is being used as a router has an Xbox directly connected to it, going pretty well all the time and supports Mac and Intel wireless clients.
What router do you connect to now, where you see that it seems slower than your modem?

Your hardware setup is kick azz runnung dual R7000's sporting both Mac and Intel clients sounds heavenly, you have the best of both worlds. I'm going to look further into the AP and Router modes, that sounds interesting.
My imagined slower speeds was due to a router misconfiguration on my part. Once I reset back to factory default everything is running quick and smooth. That'll teach me to not fiddle with things I don't know much about, lol.
