Nighthawk R7000 vs R8000
I'm looking for a new ac wireless router and want to know which of these models is the best. What are the pros and cons of each router?
- Well i just pulled the trigger on the R7000. Usually i go for the latest and greatest but it sounds like the R8000 still has some bugs to work out and the R7000 more then meets my needs. :)
One pro for the R7000 is that there is a version of DD-WRT for it but the R8000 is not supported.
The R7000 Netgear firmware is more mature but some people still have problems with it. I do not have those problems with the newer firmware. The R7000 runs good for me.
