Unreliable product - too many dropped connections

This is a terrible product and a waste of time. It disables Wi-Fi more than the 5-year-old 2.4GHz router it was meant to replace. 5GHz is so fast it's practically unusable whether you're using it in smart mode or as 2 separate 5GHz channels. We tried this in the face of interference on every available channel, but all had the same result - too many dropped WiFi connections. 2.4GHz was more reliable, but at this point why are we buying an expensive replacement for an old router that already does

Pros
  • Feels good
Cons
  • Secret

Amazing speed, easy setup

So we bought this (NETGEAR Nighthawk X6 AC3000 Dual Band Smart WiFi Router) a few weeks ago hoping for an improvement over our 3-5 year old (not sure when it was made) NETGEAR R6100 which kept losing signal or very weak was different parts of the house. I am so happy with this purchase I don't even know where to start. So I'll be short and sweet. It works very well, is very quick and easy to set up - so for normal home use. I'm not sure a pro gamer would agree or how well this would work in a…

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

They are affecting IPv6 support

This review is for the NETGEAR R7900-100NAS Nighthawk X6 AC3000 Smart Wi-Fi Router. reviews together. Basically it works. but has a big fatal flaw that I only noticed after my Amazon return period had expired. The firmware blocks/firewalls all connections from the WAN trying to connect to ports listening on the IPv6 interface. So you can't connect to services running on your network from outside your LAN over IPv6. There is NO setting to enable this. I googled and searched for Netgear support…

Pros
  • There's something to it
Cons
  • Minor issues

Great router even though I drove an Orbi

Great router. I replaced it with the Orbi system, but here's what I liked: 1. Great signal strength. I have a 1/4 acre lot with a long rectangular yard and I have a 2/3-75% signal in the back corner behind my fence.2. Wireless and wired speed. No complaints.3. Netgear software is excellent (at routerlogin.com).4. Signal Penetration - I have a 2 story house, 11 years old; The signal worked at the top of the farthest corner from the router.5. Build & Design: I expect to have 20-25 devices…

Pros
  • Dream come true
Cons
  • Confused

JUNK routers are the best networking products

I bought this router in late 2017 and it worked great but sometimes it's very connection intensive. However, I overlooked these things as it worked great. However, this router is nothing more than throwaway garbage. I'd rather say what it really is, but I'll refrain from further abuse today. The oath box in my house is full of money after today. This thing died yesterday for no apparent reason after less than 18 months of use. Still glowing showing everything is EXCELLENT! I just spent 5 hours…

Pros
  • Like everything before
Cons
  • Appearance
