Nighthawk RS500 IPTV
Hi! I'm trying to replace Telia LT router with the Nighthawk RS500. I'm getting internet and television from Telia LT. I've tried different setups with RS500, and the best I achieved was to get ...
Id make contact with the ISP to ensure the RS can replace there equipment and ask for help on there configuration requirements.
ISP focuses on renting their (how to say it nice ... buggy, sluggish, underperforming) routers. And when asked for the posibility to replace their router with my, the answer is that they do not help to setup any other router than theirs. They do not give any details on requirements, configuration and don't even support TV if you use not their router.
I still can't have their router - in my neighbourhood I have like 16+ 2.4GHz and 6+ 5GHz networks, and their router tends to have some performance pits every few days. I must change HW, and RS500 with 6GHz and otjer performance properties looks just it.
I am confident that RS500 physically can achieve configuration as needed for everything to work properly. I think that just UI could be limited for that. And I'm ready to collect as mane data as needed, help testing and finding a solution with the Netgear team. I believe that adding one or other feature supported by the hardware is always a step forward making the device even greater.
