Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

As others have stated, the Amazon listing is for the R6700 (AC1750) router. The router has now been updated by Netgear as the R6700v2. It uses completely different hardware, likely as a cost-saving measure. - The original R6700 used the exact same internal components as the R7000 (AC1900) model. i.e. a Broadcom dual-core chipset at 1Ghz. It only lacked a special slightly faster WiFi mode at 2.4Ghz and the additional rear USB 2.0 port from the R7000. - The R6700v2 uses a MediaTek chipset and is now advertised on the box as a 'dual-core' processor. Note that most positive reviews / speed tests for this model are for the R6700 version, *not* the v2. Every indication I've seen is that the R6700v2 is a step down from the original model in terms of speed, reliability, and features (for example, not supporting popular alternative firmware such as DD-WRT). Here's what you should order instead: - The R6400 if you want to stay at the $99 price point (https://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-AC1750-Gigabit-Router-compatible/dp/B00Z0V2NQ8) or - The older R7000 (AC1900) which is $50 more but identical hardware to the original R6700. Most normal households probably don't need the R7000, and would be perfectly fine with the R6400.
