The last 6-12 months or software updates have made it unbearable to use.

If you hear your family members constantly yelling "Internet is down" from different parts of the house, you'll love this router. in the middle of a movie or an important Zoom call at work. That was not always so. If you search the forums you will see that about 6-12 months ago firmware updates started making the device unstable and there were many complaints like mine. Unfortunately, you need to install firmware updates because the alternative has been hacked due to security holes in the old…

Ideal for DD-WRT and VPN.

I received this after doing some research and found that the R7000 is one of the best routers to install DD-WRT and use as an OpenVPN router.

DD-WRT unlocks many features and configurable options for this router, including the ability to easily overclock to 1000MHz. The dual-core processor is powerful enough to handle 256-bit VPN…

We bought this access point as an add-on to an identical, newly purchased model that was in another house at the time and still works perfectly. In this regard, the readily…

Bought April 10, 2018 and discontinued July 1, 2018

I ordered the R7000 on April 10, 2018 and received the router on April 11. Very fast delivery. I didn't really bother with the Google Play Store apps available for this router, but I tried to give them a chance. The Disney Circle app was terrible too. I upgraded from Almond Plus by Securifi. The UI and app available on Almond is much better. I took a chance with this router and yesterday, July 1, 2018 (less than 90 days later), the Netgear Nighthawk R7000's internet connection stopped working…
