I had a Netgear router that I returned because the tech support is absolutely horrible. The tech support was an Indian dude that spoke bad English and he had a house fan blowing in the background. The Netgear nighthawk is a blazing fast router to buy if you can deal with tech support.
The nighthawk xr1000 is good but I had to buy a modem for it to work I just chose the Netgear CM1000 modem off of amazon. I only had a standard Xfinity router with no modem, that was issued to us when we bought there services.
U could of put the xfinity in bridge mode and would of just acted as a modem. Then connect your router to that modem. That's what I did until I brought the same modem. Save 14 dollars a month tho.
How is the asus ax11000 compared to the xr1000? I currently have this xr1000 but still have lag here n there, my asus arrives Tuesday hopefully its way better but what are your thoughts on these two routers?

@@Minpeace bro so how do you add another router if you want wired connection for the ps5? Cause if my modem is wired to the router then how could I get my ps5 to a router? I just don’t get it
Yesss just came here to say asus can’t be beat if we talking about routers .I had the xr500 but now iam playing on ma asus 11000 .my netgear is some where in my garage I think 🤔
Asus being in the game for years I had both router b4 asus with out duma os u are right u won’t see any difference at all asus u don’t have to do anything to the router to have a good experience net gear in the other hand u have to mess with the router to get the ultimate experience.asus router I can joint any body and I still get to be hose that’s how good the cuality is no way in hell u get to do that with duma os .in fact if they are aout of range yuo won’t be able to joint .
@@Fishthe406 for any doubts u should ask an employee from the store u getting it from which one is best and they all said the same thing asus all thae way .I follow these dude on TH-cam he help me out a lot on gaming base stuff check him out John Glasscock he’s TH-cam Chanel
The Asus is a triband router with a higher spec hardware. It should have better coverage but things get murky when you start to look at the throughput which is dependant on a device that uses WiFi. It’s also a fairly old chipset and some prefer the specs on some of the latest routers from Asus but of course the same applies to them when it comes to throughput. Both offer different software so it’s a case of looking at your network and what suits your needs. The XR1000 is based on the RAX50 so it’s mid to low tier hardware wise.
Why do I need the router if my ISP spits out 100mbs which is what I'm paying for? Ive got the xr1000 but I only get the modem mbs which is what I paid for!. If you can help clear some things up. I'm afraid if I pay for a higher pack and the router only spits out what I paid for!
I just bought the XR1000, but DumaOS isn't loading on my laptop. Has that happened to you? If so how can I fix it. I can't find any firmware updates for this router. I would appreciate any help. Netgear couldn't even help me.
How the ping on cod vanguard, got the google mesh router with gigabyte Verizon isp best one they got. Worried I still wont get around 20 latency , currently at 47-50
Watch over 10 xr1000 setup but none solve my problem. My ethernet light is red. Not white. I have no problem with nbn box and router provided by provider.
Push the reset button on your router, if that doesn't work than push the reset button on your modem. Than follow steps on the app to setup your router, took me awhile but it works great!!
If you got a modem router combo from your internet provider then put that into bridge mode n then use your own router connected with an ethernet cable.
If anyone can help me. I currently have the r8000p with Cox gigibit I have lik 450up and lik 50 down and around 24plus devices wireless connected. My Xbox is connected via Ethernet but I have a slight lag every single game basically running and skipping ahead lik every 3 min. I have my nighthawk connect to my Cox modem which is in bridge mode and qos enabled to prioritize my one Xbox. Should I upgrade to this and will it actually help
I don’t know if you can solve my issue or not but I got fiber like probably 3 or 4 weeks ago right because it this became available and I got the 1gig plan and I was this using the gateway for probably 2 weeks then I decided to test the xr1000 with the gateway and at first everything works fine all the features are working as they do geo filter is working no issues but maybe 24 hours later or sooner without any warning the led changes from a white led which means everything is functional and working properly to a steady orange led which makes it to wear I can’t connect to the internet what’s or ever no matter if I’m using a wireless connection for my phone or a wired connection for my ps5 if you have a way of fixing this issue that would greatly be appreciated it sorry for the long paragraph this had to explain everything that’s going on currently
I bought a Nighthawk AX4200 and I'm only getting 220 MBps. I get 700 Mbps on my hard wired PC. My old 6 year old router got the speeds I'm getting now on the PS5. Can anyone actually confirm that the PS5 is really getting Wifi 6 speeds?
Worst router ever Very expensive. Upgraded to the new firmware. Have to reboot / factory reset & reconfigure entire network every 8 hours litteraly... Buy netgear if you like downtime & don't have a security system
The hardware should be fine, it’s a mid to lower tier AX router and based on the RAX50. 3 core cpu but one core does the DPI. It’s unique feature is geo filter which needs games to be compatible. Their R1 when launched gave users the choice of servers but as games and servers move forward that feature is not always fully compatible ie, it hates peer to peer and server positions are held on a data base for games like COD.

I’m just asking, just in case, Does it matter what Router when using ethernet
Just bought this. Best video on the configurations out there. Huge help thank you.
Has the router been good, I am thinking of buying one since I get like 50+ ping on my ps5 and my download speeds are only 20+ mbps

Whats a modem
Does DumaOS do SQM cake? Have it on my current router (WRT32X running OpenWrt) and it's the best way to remove bufferbloat for gaming.
Do internet come with it ?
Can I just ask you something? If my ps5 is plugged directly into my modem can my nighthawk enhance that in anyway or not?
Is it as fast as Ethernet?
No
Do I have to have this plugged into the modem permanently or can I plug it into the ps5 which is in a different room to the modem
Good question ? I wondering too
Can it be used in hotels ?
This is a wifi router not ISP, your ping depends on your ISP quality.
This one is good if u got internet to your ps via wifi but nothing compared to a direct connection

How is this for range? 3500+ sq feet?

Just a router, you will need a modem or if your equipment offers bridge mode or last resort DMZ.

how is this different from the router your isp gives you?
More reliable and better range
You can have more devices on your network.
Simply companies will not give you the best router on market because it will cost them alot and most of them outdated
