Differences between PR60X and PR460X Model Routers

[zoiks66]

I’m trying to decide which of these models of routers to buy to use with 2 WBE750 WAPs, an MS510TXUP switch, and an MS510TXM switch, all of which are Insight capable.

Are there any differences between the 2 models of routers besides length of warranty and length of included Insight subscription?

PR460X supports 3rd party application add-on, e.g. Domotz, it also supports Engage for Pro AV applications which PR60X does not support.

Starting from Netgear Engage v2.0, the PR460X Pro Router is (new with the WBE71x and the WBE75x) included in the supported products, see here.

Thanks. Since I’m planning to use the router for my home network, I don’t see a use for Engage or the extra features. I may still go with the PR460X for its longer warranty.

For home use, you may run Cloudflare speed test at speed.cloudflare.com from any PC on PR460X/PR60X LAN, with and without QoS (SQM - Smart Queue Management) enabled and compare network quality difference. The SQM may dramatically improve online gaming and video chatting quality depends on your Internet service. SQM reduces network latency (at cost of 10~15% bandwidth, many people have bandwidth far exceeding application needs, but there is always room for latency improvement)
