It would have been nice if geo-filtering worked for more PC games
Even though similar features are available through the actual games themselves. Its top speed on 5GHz was a little slower than I've seen with other similar routers and there's no useful ap

If any of the notes along the way have resonated with you in terms of the functionality and control that you require on your network then you should definitely put the Netgear Nighthawk Pro Gaming router at the very sharp end of a very short shopping list...
I have been following the Nighthawk brand since March of 2014, in those now four years, we have seen so many platforms come through the lab, the mind boggles. That said, the Nighthawk solutions, for the most part, stick out not only for the design of some...

Netgear and NetDuma teamed up to create a gamer's delight inside a futuristic-looking router. The XR500's speed and range are more than enough for a medium-to-large home. The DumaOS interface has lots of customization options and helpful hints for even n...
Up to 2600Mbps data transfer speed, 4 external antennas offer great range, Powerful software features
Some games may not work when geo-filter enabled,
This router review is pretty much all positive, as there aren't any cons that you will face after purchasing the Nighthawk Pro XR500 from Netgear. It has dual band Wi-Fi offering up to 2600Mbps speed, and four external antennas for improved coverage and t...
This XR500 router is greatness! Having the DumaOS for setup and control makes the price worth it, because I am also making the most out of my internet speeds. I am a fan of the OS over regular router administrative settings. NETGEAR made a router that put...
User friendly setup and monitoring regardless of which tool you choose, DumaOS is feature-rich, customizable, and has actual gaming features to aid the user experience, High throughput maintained across both wireless N and AC networks in the test area, VP
Pricing in the USA is not as attractive as in the UK, A confusing collection of setup and monitoring options that can potentially overwhelm customers, Antenna strength is lacking for a product in this price range, Warranty of only a year
The NETGEAR Nighthawk Pro Gaming XR500 router costs $299.99 from authorized retailers, including Amazon.com and others listed here for customers in the USA, and £239.99 (inc. VAT) from equivalent sources in the UK ( Amazon, Scan ) as of the date this rev...

Low-latency design, Informative dashboard, Very good performance and range
Expensive, Big
The Netgear Nighthawk XR500 Pro Gaming Router is for those who take their online gaming seriously with a high-throughput, low-latency design. Faster than the Linksys WRT32X, the XR500 includes quality of service, double-width data channels and the ability...
