Review on πŸ“Ά NETGEAR A6200 - Dual Band AC WiFi USB 2.0 Adapter by Lawrence George

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Great but needs to reboot daily to get faster [FIXED]

I have a Netgear R6250 router. Had to deduct a star today. It seems I have to reboot the R6250 router every morning to get the AC speed up to 866Mbps. What happens if I don't reboot is that when I turn on my Dell laptop I only get 175MB. I will update this when Netgear fixes this issue. Sometimes I can get max AC speed when reconnecting to my A6200. Something doesn't add up on both sides. UPDATE 9/8/2013: Ok, I was able to get a consistent 866Mbps by switching the wireless AC "channel" on my Netgear A6200 router to a different one - in my case from 157 to 161. I don't know if others wireless devices were interfering with the router in my house, but this change solved the problem (so far). I've been tracking it for the last week and now it's hovering at 866MB. I hope NETGEAR will give this advice to others who have this problem. So I have to return the star I took. That issue aside, the AC Dual Bandk (A6200) is amazing!

Pros
  • Solid execution
Cons
  • Not bad
