The editors didn't like
The router's WiFi performance is significantly slower than its competitor
And its sluggish interface lacks indepth customization and is bloated with too many menu items. The price is way too high for what the router has to offer
Limited client support for faster 4x4 802.11ac speeds
Fast 802.11ac wireless performance, Excellent speeds from the builtin USB 3.0 ports, Funky and futuristic design
Limited client support for faster 4x4 802.11ac speeds, Bland looking software, Relatively expensive compared to rivals
The Nighthawk X4 is a powerful router in all respects, especially when set up with a client that supports quad-stream 802.11ac – but that power certainly comes at a price...
The crutch for each of the Wave 2 solutions we have tested in the past has always been the client-side options for connecting and utilizing the full potential of a solution, whether it is the RT87U, or the E8350 from Linksys. At this point in time, the s...

Despite its powerful hardware, the R7500 doesn't have the performance and features to justify its premium price tag....

Both routers performed well, both take full advantage of the new MU-MIMO technology, which will undoubtedly become a lot more widespread, so having any of these routers means you will be one step closer to the future.By the looks of it, ASUS RT-AC87U won...

Great Speed and Coverage, Nice Design, Usable MU-MIMO, Improved QoS, Great NAS Capabilities
The Interface Is Dated And It Isn't User-Friendly, Lack Of Clients That Support 4x4 Streaming
NETGEAR Nighthawk X4 is a capable router and because of the latest upgrade (which enables MU-MIMO), it is now a lot more valuable than before. It features great speed performance and coverage, the same interesting design and although the software is a bit...

The Netgear Nighthawk X4 AC2350 Smart Wi-Fi Router runs $249.91 shipped and really is packed with a ton of features that would normally make it a flagship networking device for anyone other than Netgear. Released this past fall, the R7500 is the latest re...

Stable, Fast WiFi, Decent “NAS” performance, Status lights can be toggled via a switch, “WAN” port adds fifth LAN connection in Media Bridge mode, Excellent range, ReadySHARE Vault
Router overrides Client DNS, UI is slow and feels dated, Power LED is not togglable, Dynamic QoS needs work
As odd as it sounds, it's really hard to review something that just works, but that is exactly the category that the NETGEAR Nighthawk X4 AC2350 (R7500) 802.11AC Wi-Fi router falls into. It is the fastest Media Bridge and most stable router I have ever t...
Abstract: Netgear's Nighthawk X4 AC2350 Smart WiFi Router ($279.99) boasts the beefiest hardware specs of just about any consumer router on the market. Unfortunately, its souped-up components don't boost throughput and range, and its high price tag makes it even ha...
Has Client Bridge and AP modes, USB 3.0 (x2) and eSATA (1) ports, WOWZA! read speeds, StreamBoost bandwidth shaping
Disappointing range on both bands, No site survey in client bridge mode
I guess I'm going to have to do some comparative testing with AC adapters like the tests recently run with N (Does An AC Router Improve N Device Performance?) to convince people they are throwing money away on 4x4 routers at this point. This time I have e...
