  • Great hardware, needs some revision of software
Netgear has been my choice for many upgrades and new installations. Until now, the hardware AND software worked great. The FUNCTION of the device is perfect, no glitches and set up within minutes. The complaint I have is the, in my opinion, poorly written software. I used the computer interface to access the setup and monitoring of the router. It fails to list ALL the attached devices, sometimes missing a couple or more in the list, and from looking at the assigned IP address at the connected device, I not only know it is there, but can enter that address into my browser and connect. Yet the router which assigned the address when the device connected, doesn't show it. Free third party IP address software DOES show the complete list, why can't an industry leader in routers and switches hire some programmers who can make it work, rock solid? And yes, I've made sure I'm running the latest firmware version. Again, the HARDWARE works great. No concerns. But who is in charge of defining the software function, supervising those who write the firmware, and certifying it WORKS has certainly dropped the ball. For most users, they'll never worry about such things and will experience a fast and reliable router. For those of us who have always used those functions and want the or need them, this is inexcusable for a top notch company. This is also the opinion of other users who have commented on this problem on various forums, so I'm not an outlier. ... show more

  • Reboots spontaneously and drops signal EVERY DAY
There was a little router, Used for a PC browser, Right in the middle of a room. When it was good, It was very good indeed, But when it was bad it was horrid. I had such hopes for this Netgear router. I purchased this about a year ago at the time of this review. I guess this could be considered a "Year-in-Review" from me on this product. I had a previous Netgear router that worked well, though it was 5 or so years old so I wanted to upgrade, being the techie I am, and I chose this router to upgrade to. I really wished I didn't upgrade and I wished I kept the old router, in retrospect. This new router worked amazingly for maybe a month, great utilization of FiOS internet speeds/capacity. Then, the router started rebooting spontaneously and would go offline for a few minutes each time. At first it was one to two times a week, but toward the 2 month mark of ownership it started happening every day. About 3 months and onward it reboots typically 2, maybe 3, times a day. I don't want to spend more money on another router at this time, so I'm just dealing with it especially since I've been lucky and the reboots typically don't happen during my remote work meetings. I've kept a log of when and why the reboots might happen; it seems totally random. I'm actually and ironically writing this review on my cell phone right now via cellular signal because, once again, the router spontaneously rebooted and dropped internet connection. I've reset the firmware, refreshed my IP, tweaked all sorts of settings, cycled through a ton of different solution variations, even called Netgear tech/sales support. Nothing's helped. Netgear support tried to get me to buy their "NETGEAR Armor" subscription for the router, stating that that should help resolve the issue. From what I've read about Netgear's Armor software (and, according to their own website), it's supposed to provide "real-time protection against hackers" and doesn't have anything to do with the actual router equipment operation. The Armor software is pre-installed/embedded by the way. I've never had a problem with hackers, viruses/trojans/malware, or the like and have stuck to safe/verified sites. I've read in multiple forums that apparently if you don't sign up to Netgear's Armor subscription for the router, then your router acts up. Don't know how true that is but it seems to be the case with mine from this past year's empirical evidence and from Netgear support's heavy-handed suggestion. Why should I have to sign up and pay for something I hadn't needed historically? And, why should I need to sign up and pay for an additional service that supposedly, per company advertising, has nothing to do with equipment operation in order to get the equipment to operate correctly? Is this fraud, some kind of bait-and-switch? What's going on with this router (and company's operating model)? We may never know. (Cue mysterious whoosh.) I now have quite the aversion to Netgear and its technology. I'm not angry or sad at Netgear from this experience, I'm just so very disappointed. ... show more

  • Best Router I Have Ever Owned
TL;DR - it's a great router with great capability. I was surprised at the ease of use and ease of configuration. It has great range, can handle multiple devices simultaneously, and has no problems with handling access to network storage. There are a ton of bells-and-whistles options that may or may not come in handy for the average user. It is expensive for a reason but the features are well worth it. This is the best router I have ever used, period. I bought one nearly 2 years ago when they first came out and I bought another one, here on Amazon, recently. This particular one was purchased to help set up my sister and brother-in-law's home network. The setup is very easy and quick and the menu's interface is full of options. Using 2x RAX120 routers for an AT&T fiber service of 1000/1000 Mbps at sis's and Spectrum 1000/35 Mbps in my home. The router's Wi-Fi coverage is approximately 3500 ft^2 (square feet) at 100% signal strength with the ability to beam-form to devices. Power adjustment values are 25%, 50%, and 100%. It is a dual band router with 12 streams (when working with 160MHz clients) broken down as 4x4 (4x 1x1 devices) on 2.4GHz band and 8x8 (4x 2x2 devices) on 5Ghz band. It can handle up to 8 simultaneous Wi-Fi streams (again, 4x 1x1 devices and 4x 2x2 devices). I have run tests to see how it handles walls, metal plates, blankets soaking up the waves, etc and the Wi-Fi still manages to beat through most of it even at extended ranges. A direct LoS (line-of-sight) Wi-Fi connection goes to nearly 200 feet (at 100% power value). There are 5x 10/100/1000 RJ-45 ports and a single 5Gbps (5000Mbps) RJ-45 multi-gig port (1x WAN/LAN + 4x LAN @ 1Gbps + 1x WAN/LAN @ 5Gbps). One can use the port labeled "Internet" (the single 1Gbps WAN/LAN RJ-45 port) as an extra 5th LAN port if you use the 5Gbps port, labeled "Multi-Gig", as your internet service connection. There are 2 ports able to link for aggregation. To take advantage of link aggregation, you will need a device that can team 2 ports. Usually, higher-end motherboards and consumer network gear have this ability but it is rapidly dying due to the newer 2.5Gbps NICs in the last couple generations of motherboards that take advantage of AMD and Intel CPUs supporting 2.5Gbps networking. However, if you have a multi bay NAS with link aggregation, those 2 aggregate ports would help balance the load on the NAS. Also, about the single 5Gbps RJ-45 port: this would be useful if we all had 5Gbps service from our ISPs; however, there is another use. Some of the Aquantia (now Marvell owned) and Intel 2.5/5/10Gbps NICs on consumer motherboards could take advantage of that 5Gbps port to improve network traffic speeds to/from the host/client. To clarify and simplify, your home network device-to-device speeds can take advantage of this. As far as networking, this handles video streams from computer-to-device without a hitch. You can use the 2 USB 3.0 (5Gbps) ports on the router to plug and storage device to get access to the contents of the storage device from any network connected device if you are not using a NAS (Network Attached Storage). For the average person, this is probably useful for streaming videos to any client device. Supported file system types (on the storage device) are FAT16, FAT32, NTFS (both with or without compression), Ext2, Ext3, Ext4, HFS, and HFS+. I, somehow, got my 5 bay DAS (Direct Attached Storage, NOT a NAS) to be identified with all 5 hard drives detected with their own drive letters and such after configuring the access from the RAX120's ReadyShare sub-menu in the router's setup/main menu in the Advanced settings tab. Made my day as I won't need to spend more on a 3rd NAS unit. I'm getting off topic though. ... show more
