Netgear X4 or x4s

Hi. Just Got the X4 router and it is up and running. Speed is okay but not as fast as the TP Link ac2600 that i just trade it with. TP Link did around 85-90 MB downstairs from the router and the

Nighthawk reach 60-70 MB. Wonder if i should have kept the TP Link or get the faster Nighthawk X4S instead of the X4 i have now? Any tips on prefered channel for 2.4 and 5ghz bands would be appreciated:). 

Have a nice weekend :)

  • You coudl have asked for best one in this forum before going for it.

     

    X4s hands down. its best overall in terms of speed and specs in data and also all round performer and ready for next gen wave 2 full implementation in AC wireless band.

     

    If you can return and get do that immediately. As its an option on few stores like best buy.

        Its R7800. not X . there is C series but it is pure docsis 3.1 . You cant use normal one like ethernet based fibernet.
