I'm just curious what the point of the best wifi router is when you only get 75Mbps...

[@hamdanalom1297]

I mean... He got it for free so why not?

[@Sim0ctane]

Ping is more important then download speed to me

[@alextran17]

Around his area 50 mbps is probably uncommon, I used to live up north in England and I had terrible speeds max was around 5 mbps. I moved down to London and get over 100mbps on virgin media with no extra WiFi boosters or routers

[@cassidycantrell6829]

Alex Tran You’re probably right, it just sounded slow to me because I’m in the US and I get 200 Mbps from the modem I rent from the cable company.

[@farmerjoe6908]

On the speeds he has it will not change from the xr500 performance unless his internet speeds change dramatically in the coming years

[@morpheusjones4384]

@TechBlock Fun fact. If you input the exact same SSD and password ( same encryption type too ) you don't have to go around reconfiguring all smart devices. I learned this the hard way when I was afraid to factory reset a client's Linksys Velop system with over 17 smart home security devices and alarms total. I was never taught this with my network+ certification. The evil twin attack vector uses this concept but i never realized it can be used for basic troubleshooting as well.

[@philmitchell9413]

9:28 but wouldn't it also depend on the read/write speed of the drives, it will just max out surely? We have a wrt1900acs and a WD Book Live thing and that just gets maxed out. Please enlighten my simple brain. 😂

[@rebeccaschade3987]

But why pay almost as much as a high end graphics card simply for a home router? For gaming, you'll want to be cabled anyway, seeing as it's full duplex, which regardless of the wifi, will be better for ping.

Genuinely; every time i am looking to buy an rgb product i scower your channel to find a review and am thankfully never disappointed - you really have covered them all! You have helped me grow my setup massively, being able to have a black widow chroma v2 keyboard, which i got on Black Friday for just £80 (Once again courtesy of techblock's video on black friday deals). You are massively underrated and have that personality in your videos that makes you so enjoyable to watch. There is a reason to why you are the only tech channel i have actually subscribed to, instead of just watching tech videos from my recommended! I mean you could literally upload a video about cool joysticks for a controller and you would not fail to entertain me. I love your character and energy in your videos - keep killing it! 😎👌

Dear TechBlock: I would like to ask, which of three routers I should buy. I am looking at the Netgear Nighthawk X10 R9000 AD7200 or The Netgear Nighthawk Pro Gaming XR700 or The Linksys WRT3200ACM. Now I don´t game, but my goal is to have the router, with the most Power and Range. I live in a house with four floors and therefore need the most powerfull of the three, so what I would like to know is as follows: It seems like both Netgear routers have the same power, since they supposedly have the same 1,7 Ghz Quad-Core Processor and more or less equally large antennas, but what I would like to know is, if the XR700 has recived some new software or other potentially Power Giving Electronics, which beat the X10 in Power and Range or are they practically identical in this department, so that it only is the software part, which has to do with gaming, which is different between the two, but that their ranges and their ability to handle lots of devices streming at the same time, is the same and how do they both compare to the Linksys WRT3200ACM, whcih according to the different reviews, that I have seen, should also be Very Powerful and have a Very Excellent Range??? Some even say, that it´s one of the best, regarding Power and Range. What is your Oppinion, Please? I hope you understand my question. Sincerely Thomas.

[@nikipompert495]

I had the same problem with my internet. Really poor download/upload speed so I assumed it was my crappy old router that kept me from going higher speeds but a friend told me to call my internet provider and ask them what to do. I ended up upgrading my speeds from my provider and I got a 5G wifi network now. I ALWAYS get 500Mbps/500Mbps download and upload speed now, and I'm still using the same crappy old router

[@Ben-fj2dh]

Hey nice reviews. Have you had any problems running the bt smart hub as a modem? I wanna pick up the xr500, but everywhere I've ready said you can't use the smart hub in modem only mode?

[@CliffTitlow]

Hey are you coming out with the review for the XR700 yet? It’s been a year

[@thaddeuspearson8952]

If you are using a 60 ghz band your two endpoints using it (Router antenna and a computer WiFi dongle lets say) you need to have a clear LOS between to benefit. I was looking into 60ghz for public safety evidence uploads. Just because it’s a larger number doesn’t necessarily mean it’s faster. More for specific use case to truly get full benefit.

Don't be fooled by the price of these routers. The best router to get is the one that has the best firmware/software that makes your internet connection as good as it can be. Go get a NETGEAR R8000 or NETGEAR R7800 router. These 2 routers are better than the xr500 and xr700 or any very expensive router.

Hey can i play with good ping in another server?

[@Donbros]

I explain you internet: the main thing is that you can use 5 ghz and it will be the same if you don't have any neighboars who uses the same. Why people want more than 2.4 ghz is because all wireless devices use this bandwidth zone. Btw the more neighboars you have more gigahertz you need, because you won't have interference. Of course 60ghz routers has just a few people so there won't be any interference with your neighboars for quite long time. But as you said the range is not that epic as 2.4 ghz, so I suggest to balance , but probably this one has at least 5ghz also included so you can use that if you want more range

@@Minpeace haha I bought the x500 in the end. Hopefully the hype and delay pays off. 😁

[@Minpeace]

Snazzie I hope so, a few of us are going to hang on, I will once I get my replacement as mine has just gone faulty. I took the opportunity to purchase the RAX120 and it’s far better now the firmwares have been rolled out. Better coverage and speed. The lads at Duma are really helpful on the forum but seem to be struggling with the next milestone and it’s been delayed. They really needed to address the bugs first and keep us happy and sadly the forum is full of problem posts. Don’t forget it’s an old router now so performance is lacking and if I’m honest it’s made no difference to gaming improvement and has been a ball ache to keep it going for almost a year.

[@SnazzieTV]

​@@Minpeace i didnt get it with gaming performance in mind, but more of wifi connectivity, OpenVpn, the potential of duma os. and to replace the shitty router that comes with virgin media that always cut out randomly. But yeah, they said after 3.0 there will be more streamlined updates. They probably did a whole re-write to make it easier to work with the codebase. though i feel their lack of communication on delivery targets and expected features is stupid. its a bloody router OS, they dont have any competitors... if all, being open about whats coming allows us to prepare or give early feedback on the usefulness of these new additions from everyone, not just closed insiders... I am a software engineer and the company i work for is guilty of this closed channel feedback echo chamber that mislead us and wasted dev time....

[@Minpeace]

Snazzie as you know vpn is broken a bit at the moment so that needs a fix too. Trouble is they are putting software on top of Netgear’s stuff and it’s just not working. I dint know if you noticed the other day all our routers lost log in as they bungled a cloud update. There were a few complaints as they should never be able to stop us logging in and some are worried about security and questioned them. I like the lads but I think they are a small team and perhaps have taken on too much and got tied up with NETGEAR. To be honest after setting up the rax120 I’m not sure I’ll connect up the XR when I get the replacement. If you are referring to the insider info on their forum, I’m a member there and while I’m not able to chat about what’s posted inside I do feel like you they need to have users trying out their software so they can start sorting out bugs because milestone 3 will have bugs for sure.
