Not worth the cost
As in another user, I too, am not willing to pay the price for this router. My previous router, which I still have, and am going to reconnect, is the Asus Wireless AC3100 Gigabit Router (RT-AC3100). I consistently receive between 230-500 Mbps on wifi. I sometimes have issues with ip conflicts, which is why I was looking for something more (all my address issues would go away after restarting the router, weird, I know). After connecting the Netgear router, which also didn't just pick up on my previous wifi settings, my speed dropped to no more than 95 mbps on wireless, with 4 different speed test apps. At the same time, the Nighthawk app consistently showed over 450 mbps, which I knew to be false. It was false because my pages would take longer to load, and I would experience some buffering issues. I have over 25 connected devices in my home, including 5 UHD tv's, 3 gaming systems, including a PS4 Pro, 4 computers, several tablets, and 5 mobile devices. Maybe I will reach out to Netgear to see if my router is faulty, as I am now receiving consistently around 145 mbps. Is that worth $500? Not by a long shot!
