XR500 & X10 Comparison
Hi there I have upgraded from sky fibre to sky fibre pro and don’t like the sky q router, I’m looking at the XR500 and the X10 routers to swap with, I already have a new openreach modem but may swap ...
- It sounds like what I mentioned before, I don't think this will cause you any issues. If you're concerned I would recommend calling Netgear support as they should be able to help.
Assuming you have the bandwidth for 4K streaming then the XR500 will handle it no problem without the Edge router ensuring you don't have any lag with streaming or gaming.
Hi there your a bugger just as I sign out and about to go to bed I get emails of your replies lol. So what model of edge router is it your talking about as I ordered the XR500 today. With regards to bandwidth isn’t that dictated by the standard of router used? Also on a side note I get a static IP address with my sky fibre pro.
- When I say bandwidth I'm referring to speeds, if you're trying to stream 4K content with 1mbps up and down it doesn't matter what router you have it just wouldn't work. If the speeds mentioned above are accurate then you can do that on the XR500 with no issues.
