The router's ridiculously bulky and its performance on the 2.4GHz

Netgear was one of the first companies to launch a draft 802.11ac wireless router in 2012, with the well-regarded R6300. Almost two years later, the fledgling Wi-Fi technology has only inched along but Netgear's statement in noir seems to make good use of...
Sleek and stealthy design, Brilliant performance, Dual USB ports, Comprehensive parental controls
Dated interface, Pricey
Although the R7000 is fast, it costs around the same amount as the Linksys EA6900 and the Asus RT-AC68U. Their routers don't look as good, but have much better software. Therefore my preference edges across to them slightly. But the R7000 is still a fine...
Overall, the best routers are the ASUS RT-AC68U, Apple AirPort Extreme, D-Link DIR-868L, and the Netgear R7000 Nighthawk, with Apple's offering being the fastest in almost every test. You cannot ignore this router when strictly focusing on performance, ...

Abstract: Since the release of AC1900 wireless routers we here at Hardwarecanucks have tried to cast as wide a net as possible. Everyone ASUS, D-Link, and even Linksys are now represented in our charts, but one company was noticeable by its absence: Netgear. While ...
Sharp design, Great throughput at 5GHz, Excellent range, Wonderful QoS, Full VPN capability
Less-than-expected throughput at 2,4GHz band, Painful Bridge mode configuration, Slow to apply settings changes
Excellent throughput and range at the 5GHz band, lots of features (including full VPN)?plus a cool name?all make the Nighthawk one of the best routers we've seen from Netgear in a while, despite a few annoyances...
