Help choosing a router
Hi there people of the Netgear community,
I need some advice as i am very new to networking and routers and stuff like that.
I was looking at some Routers and can someone help me find one that fits my purpose.
I need it to;
Be good for gaming and help prevent lag issues and bad Latency.
It needs to have the Nighthawk app
To be able to change the bandwidth on each devices
Maybe require the parental control too if possible,
Thank you,

Re: Help choosing a router
Hi,
I just want to be able to have,
Better wireless signal as wireless signal isnt the greatest (This is only a minor thing as the only thing wireless is a couple of phones.
To be able to change the bandwidth on each devices.
Monitor network traffic (Potentially?)
Help with lag issues.
Nighthawk app.
Parental control.
At the moment i dont really want to configure anything i do this when i start to try a few things and mess around with its configuring options.
But yeah any suggestions on a router to go for is great.
I think the XR500 is a little out of price range but can afford it over some time.

Re: Help choosing a router
The XR500 has all of those features you are looking for, but obviously more than understand if it's not within your budget right now.
Regarding monitoring, you may want to have a look at this video which shows the XR500's Network Monitor tool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A828T-j7Fks
