New Netgear R8000 Router

[03cobra#694]

Total beast. My old R7000 just wasn’t giving good speeds wireless anymore. Wired, it was fine. I was getting around 25ish on the download. I guess between the phones, Roku’s and a few other devices it just wasn’t cutting it.
These are all from my phone, and can’t wait to try it on my laptop when I bring it home for the weekend. I really like the tri-band for putting different devices on different bands. One of the tests was from the router, and they other the speed test app.
I pay for 105.

The other day my son told me to start looking for a new router. I'll have a look at this one. Thanks.

Check out the eero wi-fi product line. I switched from a Netgear R7000 Nighthawk to the eero (3 devices) that completely covers all 3 floors at home. I forget it's even there. It's a more expensive setup than a tradition router like Netgear, but I have zero dead spots (low signal strength) and their customer service is U.S. based and awesome.

This covers a 3,500 SQ FT house (mine's like 2,400) Bob, and has made a huge difference in the Roku TV's in the bedrooms.

My R6400 is doing just fine:

In today's world that speed isn't that good honestly. What's the claimed speed of your ISP?

Gotta love those business lines!

That's actually at my house! Same ISP though.

Nice!

Business account though, right? Otherwise, those uploads are insane for a home account.

I work from home and get compensated (partly) for my internet. I've looked into getting an actual business line for my house, but my current one has been more than adequate. I even have the choice to upgrade to a 1 Gbps home line, but can't justify it right now.

105.

Negative, home account. It is a 1Gbps line though.

Ah then that's why it's low. You're only a two person household though so I'm sure it's enough.

Plenty, and I'm usually the only one on.

Ah, ok.

I guess that's another thing that nudges me towards putting in for that Gigabit line.

With that being said, I can stream 4K all day with my current setup, so no rush.

It's pretty awesome. We only pay $100 a month for it or so?

damn, I think Im paying $90 for 200

My R7000 won't be the limitation for a good while with only a 18 mbps DSL connection....usually averages somewhere between <1 to 5 mpbs lol. Still enough to stream HD netflix/youtube, etc but hope another choice comes out here eventually.

 

[03cobra#694]

Lol.
This is honestly plenty for now. Wish we had fiber here. Comcast is basically the only option. I am due for a upgrade since my 2 year deal expired, so I may see what they have to offer speed wise.
