Review on πŸ”Œ NETGEAR Gigabit Smart Router on Amazon by Deron Gilliam

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Fantastic router, worth every penny.

I've been using this router for over a month and it's been working great so far. Like others, I rated the internet before and after. We have Comcast and pay for Blast (150) which offers 150Mbps download and 10Mbps upload. I used to have a TP-Link router and got 9 pings, 64.18 Mbps upload and 12.15 Mbps upload. After we installed this new router, the normal connection got 15 pings, 105.44 Mbps upload, and 12.22 Mbps upload. Significant improvement over its predecessor. Then I connected 5.8GHz and ran a speed test. Statistics: 15 pings, 165.92 Mbit/s download and 12.19 Mbit/s upload. The upload is still better than the original router, but a little less than normal. In general, I noticed such a difference in Internet speeds. I also had fewer "drops" of my internet while using it. I didn't have to worry about rebooting my router, which was very common with my old one. The range is also large. It runs through my whole house with cement brick walls. I have no problems in the house, which is also better than the old device. It was a bit pricey but really worth the money. I'm really glad I invested in it. Renting a router pays for itself in a year. I will update if I run into any problems in the future.
