NETGEAR Nighthawk X4S Smart Wifi Router (R7800) Over the last several years I had several routers. From Sky HUB (later with signal booster) and Vodafone hub to Virgin hub. When I was still with Sky, more people moved in to my close neighbourhood and more and more problems started to appear with WIFI reception (interferences). I tried to fix the issue with wifi booster, which made the job, but I also decided to buy Netgear Nighthawk X4S (R7800). From that time on, I never regreted my decision. I connected it in router mode to original Sky router (set up in modem only mode) and started enjoying flawless WIFI again. No boosters were required anymore. Signal in whole house was enough strong and fast to play high bitrate Full HD videos from network drive. Nighthawk X4S uses 2 separate networks - 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, although recently I modified my set up and use WIFI for mobile phones only. For the rest of tasks I use Ethernet connection to Nighthawk X4S which acts as a hub and NAS thanks to its ReadySHARE functionality. It also has 2 USB 3.0 and 1 eSATA port to connect external drives if needed. Netgear software is good as well. It opens up with Basic settings initially, although I would recommend to activate Advanced settings, have a little study about the options available and set up the router properly to own needs. Nighthawk X4S regularly receives software/firmware updates, which are flawless and quick. I can fully recommend Nighthawk X4S for anyone who looks for a dedicated router and to nearly re-discover networking again.

Edit 24-04-18 : I have since given this router a 5 star from 4 as the wi-fi range problem was a user error. It hadn't occurred to me that putting a router directly behind a 49 inch TV, consoles, peripherals and set top boxes may cause interference. Doh! Moving the router no more than half a meter away from its original position has nearly doubled the wi-fi range. I can happily stream Netflix in my garden now. The NETGEAR router is a great looking product and is very well built. You will need more shelf space as it's much larger than your average router size. This can be wall mounted, but unless stuck in an inconspicuous location it will stick out like a sore thumb. On the front of the router is a line of orange and white LED indicators, which can be permanently turned off via an LED switch on the back of the router. This will just leave a small white power LED on at the end. The four wi-fi antennas are easy to install and make this router look like a space invader. This leads me to the reason why this router only gets a four star for me. The speeds of the wi-fi are very good, however the range is surprisingly much lower than I expected. With all those antennas attached, it gives off this impression that I should be 100m away and still get a signal. At roughly 15m and through around three walls, its struggles to maintain connection. Comparing this to my previous bog standard Sky router, I was getting the same results. There is a lot of factors at play when it comes to wi-fi, so it could just be me and my setup. I've updated the firmware and adjusted some settings on the router which has produced a small improvement, but not massive. Streaming is a dream! I can happily game in one room, whilst HD films are being streamed in multiple others with no buffering. Overall, I would happily recommend this to anyone wanting a high end router with great performance. Especially for those gamers out there. If you are an everyday internet user, then this router isn't really for you.

On paper this is an impressive router. Most of the features are there and work well. I've used Netgear products for a very long time and was always impressed with their performance. This router works fine apart from a big BUT! If you are using Airplay products, then stay very clear of this. Been experiencing various issues, namely Airplay devices not visible, TimeMachine drive disappearing etc. Normally can be fixed by rebooting everything but having to do that every other day is clearly not great. The most annoying and biggest problem is stuttering experience on Airplay - both streaming to Zeppelin Air and to AppleTV. Affects all devices and connections. Also Netgear only provide 90 days of support - after that you are on your own! I was able to get some support that seemed to fix the issue for the majority of time even though it still reoccured occasionally. Then with a recent firmware update the issue returned. And now I realised that I cannot get Netgear support outside 90 days of purchase even tough the product is still within warranty! Ridiculous and complete failure of Netgear as a company. Thankfully Amazon were amazing in helping out and providing a refund for this router. Lesson learn and now will stay away from Netgear.

Acquistato per sostituire la connessione ADSL (scarsa nella mia zona) l'ho trovato un valido sostituto. Lo utilizzo con una SIM TIM 4G e, senza tante ricerche del posto con la migliore copertura all'interno della mia abitazione, ho ottenuto un DL di quasi 120MB ed un UL di 30MB (ping 14). OTTIMO DIREI! L'ho abbinato pure ai suoi satelliti RBS20 ed ho ottenuto la copertura ideale per la mia abitazione. A tutt'oggi non ho mai avuto blocchi o riavvi improvvisi. L'applicazione per smartphone poi è eccezionale e mi permette il controllo completo del sistema lontano da casa. STRACONSIGLIATO!! NETGEAR cosa aspetti a fare una versione 5G?

Como era de esperar de una compañia como Netgear, este aparato desborda calidad y rapidez. Además cuida los detalles y la seguridad. Altamente recomendado si no puedes acceder a Internet fijo y tienes que utilizar Internet móvil para trabajar.

Ottimo. . Ho risolto tutti i miei problemi di connessione. Il prezzo può sembrare un po' alto, ma non è così, se si considerano i soldi risparmiati per ripetitori e amplificatori. La sorpresa maggiore è stata la velocità in ricezione e trasmissione dati. Eccezionale.

Sehr guter LTE Router, stabile und schnelle Verbindung zum LTE Netz. Die Erstkonfiguration ist relativ simpel und schnell über die dazugehörige Netgear Orbi-App via Handy erledigt, wobei ich persönlich das Webinterface über den Browser vorziehe da es mehr Einstellungsmöglichkeiten bietet. Allerdings muß man ein Netgear Orbi-Konto anlegen, ohne geht es nicht. Das WLAN ist schnell, bietet eine gute Reichweite sowie vielfältige Konfigurationsmöglichkeiten. Auch wenn das Gerät schon länger auf dem Markt ist, ist es bisher der beste LTE Router den ich je in Betrieb hatte.
