Firmware update

So...not that I'm trying to complain because I really prefer the netgear products for my home use routers.  I have the nighthawk x8 R8500 and the nighthawk extender EX7000.  Both work great together, couldnt be happier.

 

Does anyone know if the user interface will get a face lift anytime soon. It's just butt ugly lol.  Also the firmware seems to lack in features, figured there would be more features available for on the fly analytics at the very least.

 

Anyhoo, thanks for any info :-)  Lookin forward to seeing the X10 in action haha

  • With ISP's being forced to send Copyright Infringement notices to their customers....you can say goodbye to the native torrent support hahahaha

  • A new update to the UI would be wonderful. Also add me to the BETA tester program.

    Hi all, updating some old threads. Based on the current work that we are doing, we have done facelift of UI for our AX routers. However, our preference is that customers use our brand new apps - Nighthawk and Orbi apps.
