Nighthawk X10 Smart WiFi Router (R9000)
I have had this router for 5 years and it is 5 STAR. I use it connected to a 10G switch through the 10G SPF+ port for 2 NAS Synology Media Servers but, How long before Netgear makes a replacement for...
Orbi 9 series is the only home class router with a 10Gb WAN port that has 1x 2.5Gb LAN port along with 1Gb LAN ports. I have support for my 9 series Orbi to be fully wired on 2.5Gb for the two satellites.
The Orbi 850 series, RAX200 and RAXE500 have 2.5Gb WAN ports or can be used as a LAN port.
10Gb is still expensive and mostly a business environment need vs home class. Ya It's taken several years for 2.5Gb to even show up for home systems. There is a lot of design work and operational and heat designs surrounding 10Gb. Just can't be added. Also there is PC and CPU considerations as well. Older CPUs can't support 10Gb speeds as well. I presume as time goes on, we'll see more and more 2.5 and 10Gb coming to home systems, though I presume it won't be over night.
Well I am a home user and the Nighthawk X10 Smart WiFi Router (R9000) is a home user router. I am useing it to it's full potential every single light is lit and has been. Now I need the same thing just including Wi-Fi 6E like the ASUS ROG Rapture WiFi 6E Gaming Router (GT-AXE16000)
Netgear should not go backwards. My Nighthawk X10 Smart WiFi Router (R9000) is a super router but it is time for that to be up graded not downgraded to 2.5G. I do not want to go from Neatgear but if they are going to fall behind I have no choise. My home system is 10G
