Ordered a Nighthawk R7000, which firmware to use?
I wanna note that I don't have the router yet but its on the way in the mail to me. I purchased it to use with my fiber optics connection that is planned to be installed by the end of the year. I c...
AFAIK, there is only one version. My R7000 is over 2 years ago and still going strong.
I took a brand new one out of the box three weeks ago. Bought it from Amazon. The first thing I did was use the built in feature to download and update to the latest firmware (V1.0.7.2_1.1.93). Still using the Netgear firmware, may or may not change in the future.
Connected to a good Comcast gateway (Cisco 3941T). Wired download speeds through the router average 175 Mbps down and 12 Mbps up for both IPV4 and IPV6. The same speeds test out for the 5 GHz wireless. The 2.4 GHz wireless tests out at 120 Mbps down and 12 Mbps up for both IPV4 and IPV6.
No complaints here. My primary reason for purchasing this specific router was the out of the box OpenVPN feature. So far it works flawlessly.
