    Recommendation for a wireless router

    If you are from Europe and not planning on using a different firmware then I would not recommend the R7000 at all.

    New Router working as AP

    Hello jegesq, I am aware of the DFS/TPCs disadvantages. After all, my old Airport Exreme supported it and from time to time switched the 5 GHz channel which I experienced with short disconnect (about two minutes). I don't believe that your explanations are the reason for Netgear. And these...

    New Router working as AP

    I have a small update: I got an answer from Netgear Germany. I asked on their facebook page, if we will see DFS support in Europe. The answer is "offiziell nicht" which means officially not. To be honest, I am speechlesse and furious. This is such an old and essential feature to...

    New Router working as AP

    Sure Netgear followed the regulations in Germany. They just went the lazy man's road by simply deactivating those bands. In this case, no channels above 48 in the 5 GHz Band. So basically, if it was up to Netgear, there would be 4 channels in the 5 GHz band in Germany instead of 15 or 19? I am...

    New Router working as AP

    As promised, my feedback after two weeks of use: Two wired PCs (one Mac), two wireless PCs, four iOS devices, one Windows Phone, one wired Printer (HP 8600). R7000 working as an AP, DHCP server disabled. All measurements are from where I live. It is an old house with very humid and thick...

    New Router working as AP

    I live in Europe, Germany. Actually, the Netgear supports DFS. It even says so, when you switch to a higher channel manually. It just doesn't support the higher channels with DFS in Europe. So, as long as this is not fixed, I guess Japan is as good as it gets ;) They pretty much have the same...

    New Router working as AP

    Just wanted to give a quick preliminary feedback: In installed the router on saturday, flashed the newest stock firmware, configured it and it has been up and running since then without a hiccup. Range is good, 5 GHz throughput is significantly better und my n devices (around 30% to 50%)...

    New Router working as AP

    I ordered the R7000 now based on the reviews. I am sure the ASUS would have been great too but as I said, I am not planning on tinkering with the firmware much or installing beta firmwares. I will give a feedback as soon as it arrives and I have it working a few days.

    New Router working as AP

    I thought as much. Since you didn't lean to a specific product from my list, that leaves two possiblities to me: 1. They are both on par regarding stability, compatibilty, range and speed and I should get the cheaper one. 2. You wouldn't get neither and have a different recommendation, in...

    New Router working as AP

    Hi there, I am looking for a new Router which I am only going to use as a WIFI Access Point. Currently I am using an Apple Airport Extreme 5th gen which is breaking down slowly (2,4 GHz Radio went dark, 5GHz Radio has outages for a few weeks). The new Access Point will be connected via...
