Should You Use A PRO Gaming Router? - NETGEAR Nighthawk XR1000

[@Jaypher]

I use to work with representative of Netgear, Linksys, etc and I’ll never forget being told that these companies add antennas not for performance but for marketing. Consumers tend to buy modems and routers if it looks like a spaceship with more and more antennas lol

[@TooMuchTech]

Lol I feel like they have some merit but yes, especially routers with 12 antennas doesn’t equal a performance boost based on that alone

[@ika0552]

@@TooMuchTech the router would give more stable ping if u run a Ethernet cable too correct ?

[@ika0552]

Compared to just using cable modem ?

[@Numernabis]

In terms os this router you're paying for Net Duma features.

[@Etrayo]

This man is 3 for 3 this week. I was actually looking into one of these routers so this comes in clutch.

I have an Xbox series x. And don't want to buy this product if it doesn't work out. I got a quick question. Are u sure, this product will work for my xbox?

[@AutoMotivate]

Thanks for the thorough video. Missed an easy setup thing

[@michaelmccormack6814]

How do I use it for Xbox where to find video ????

[@BLiNKBTW]

Worth upgrading if I use strictly wired internet on a 400mbps connection and also live alone so the load is only me?

[@brevoo88]

Thanks. Is geo filter free or need subscription?

[@sybreedsTV]

Copy pasting this to every Nighthawk X1000 video i find, i have 900mb down, 40 up. Dual PC setup. bought the router to prevent packet lost, using cat7 cables. I play valorant with a goal to Radaint, and content creation. I stream. upgraded from cat5 to cat6 to cat7, I still get horrfic packetloss 5-10+% sometimes 15-20%, bufferbloat ratings that change from A+ to B to D random days, ranging from 90,80,70,60,50,40 and 30% QOS settings in DumaOS at random intervals with download and upload, streming or not streaming. I have done every single network congig i could think of over 2 years of troubleshooting. Logically I am lost as to what I can try next. open to new solutions thanks.

I know this video is pretty old but I was recommended this router by a friend and was curious if you are still using this router if not what did you choose?

[@victorsmith6429]

U picked this router ?

[@KINGxINISIDIOUS]

@@victorsmith6429 yeah I did but honestly don’t think it’s anything special Dumas OS isn’t always effective but the amount of games you can port forward is nice

[@Matt_fxx]

What’s your download and upload speeds

[@Numernabis]

Let's say that my ISP (T-Mobile) doesn't let me use my own router. I have 900/300 Internet and I thought about setting their router into bridge mode and connect XR1000 with dumaOS 3.0 behind my ISP router. Would Net Duma features still work?

[@brendencotton4555]

Yes they would.

[@ScarKxngg]

Question do I need to use duma OS or no cause I certainly don’t have a laptop or computer

[@koredragon2833]

Hype just got insane!! Ordering mine friday, wanted to see how it all looked in app wise and more. Great video breakdown

[@josephlaurence]

How did you find it?

[@sinn5570]

do you already need wifi to use this?

[@jamcdona]

Just bought the XR1000 today to replace my r7000 nighthawk AC 1900. It does see more of my 1gb service at 800/900gbs and puts it out to lan; my r7000 would not put out more than 230Gbs... but it's speed vs distance is the same as the r7000, same 5G speeds at same points in the house. Disapointing for $300. Looks like my kid will have the only speeds close to 1Gb in the house for his gaming LOL.

[@User_3303_]

I thought the xr700 was the faster one With WiGig?

[@Jermo25]

Is this one better than the nighthawk? Because that’s the one I have now the r7000 AC1900 and it’s crazy because I was getting faster speeds with spectrums router which is weird.

[@MasonMNK]

you really only need 40+ for gaming, ping will be same 40mb vs 500mb for gaming ping idiot

[@justinsmith7951]

So do you still need a modem

[@brawlerpuff8663]

Is this router good for Rural areas?

[@luca.Xavier]

My internet was so bad that even though my ps4 was connected via ethernet and my ps4 was almost touching the router I was still getting lag spikes up to 1000 and on a good day I was sitting on 150

[@luca.Xavier]

Good thing I upgraded

[@bruhmoment4188]

@@luca.Xavier what ping do you get now? Cuz I might actually buy this

[@elijahalexander3959]

Is this still viable in 2024? lol, upgrading from spectrums standard router.

[@y_chefy9821]

What modem should you use I have the arris g34 and it's modem and router combo I guess I gotta turn off the wifi on that

[@brandengutierrez9582]

Who is your provider? Do you use the providers modem as well or do you also have a netgear modem?

[@whatscuf8023]

Had to buy a modem, I chose the CM1000 from Netgear, I only had a regular xfinity router no modems

[@ericpiano0404]

I’m getting my first gaming setup and I got the Alienware 2721D monitor, and I was wondering if I will need to do any sort of color calibration if I will just be gaming

[@lxlKHARMAlxl]

How much better is this? I live in an apartment complex and the bandwidth is shared between everyone connected to the MDU. Is it really that good? If its for a few mili seconds I dont think is worth it.

[@loreak128]

Pings locally are usually 1-2ms or less regardless of wired or wireless so it's just a gimmick. Like telling people they need 1gig for good pings.

[@danielmartinez1188]

how do you access Dumaos

[@normalgaming474]

Is there a negative? to it and does it need a modem?

[@Narutosxnpai]

Do I connect the routher and lan cable to ps5 and router or router to cable box

[@jhtongamer3151]

Do you know if this will make your latency and speed better for starlink

[@victorsmith6429]

Is it ?

[@jonathanmerino4059]

Is this a one time purchase or do you pay like a wifi bill every month?

[@SoloCJ999]

That’s what I’m tryna figure out💀

[@xisogem]

Is it hella buggy still? I bought this when it first came out but it was too glitchy and only worked half the time so I went with the asus rtax82u but I miss some features and might come back

[@V_-4-_VENDETTA71]

What’a your opinion of tp-link routers if you have used one? I have a ps5 and don’t know whether to choose an asus rog router or a nighthawk. What’s your opinion ?

[@evolution_10yt4]

I’m stuck on that one to which gaming router to go for is a hard one

[@matthewpurches5696]

Out of curiosity because I’m new to the this stuff can you hook up telephone lines to the router as well

[@brucehirsch5437]

no

If i already have an router from xfinity do i have to call them so they can switch it or can i just plug and play i dont know anything about routers or how they work

[@stephenroth3299]

Wondering the same thing

[@MRJAYDANGEROUS]

You use your ISP route and turn on Modem mode

[@Malloki100]

Does it work with DSL connection ADSL +2 ?

[@Minpeace]

Yep but you need a modem or a router that can run in bridge mode or offer DMZ.

[@Poppi3579]

Compare this to the netduma R2

[@tomlacey1456]

My wifi is quite bad at home does it make a difference?

[@TooMuchTech]

Absolutely, if you have a stronger router, you will for sure get better signal strength. Depends on the home as well of course in terms of size

[@Minpeace]

WiFi 6 adds new standards to help. If you suffer from interference then yes it will help.

[@fernandobelisario6731]

When it comes to gaming, is the X1000 better than the CM1200 Nighthwk? I connect thru ethernet cable everytime.

[@kripy2498]

Did you ever find this out? I play thru Ethernet aswell

[@TooMuchTech]

[@biscxp1972]

dumb question but are there any routers that don’t require monthly payments?

[@Minpeace]

You pay your isp for a internet package.

[@utterkid2]

Do you think that the wifi 5 version is still worth it? or do you think i should just go for 100 more dollars for wifi 6

[@Minpeace]

Support wise WiFi 6 will be supported longer. The XR WiFi 5 is knocking on a bit and the XR700 and 300 are no longer manufactured so support will end at some point meaning no more security updates. That said the XR1000 is based on the RAX50 and I’m wondering if we will see a higher end router with Duma.

[@chriswilcox7638]

Thank you Sir for your time. Very quick to the point 👉 and helpful as well. I was in the fence about this router and another one. You helped me make my choice. This is the one I'm going to give a try.
