    What are my options Netgear R9000 Replacement with at least 6 LAN ports built in?

    Confirmed no account is needed unless you want the subscription features which I have no use for.

    What are my options Netgear R9000 Replacement with at least 6 LAN ports built in?

    Settled on TP-LINK AXE16000, has the 6 ports and its Wifi 6E that fits the bill for future proof. Wifi 7 still in infancy will be a while before i could ever take advantage. Other option was Asus but they have less than 6 LAN ports for anyone in the same boat.

    What are my options Netgear R9000 Replacement with at least 6 LAN ports built in?

    Not an option and I'm not here to debate the requirements. Made that clear in first post!

    What are my options Netgear R9000 Replacement with at least 6 LAN ports built in?

    I have no desire to go down that route. I did something similar with pfSense and it was a fun project but I'm looking for a COTS setup with FW support. The two older models i found will probably work. Will need to research them and do my due dilligence. I was just looking to see what other...

    What are my options Netgear R9000 Replacement with at least 6 LAN ports built in?

    Never make assumptions! My media center is getting constant airflow, especially the router and NAS. It is hidden from plain sight in reference to your comment about it being in the middle of the house. The R9000 is failing to the same fate as other Netgear devices of their times due to mfg...

    This is hidden so to say in a custom media center, you wife would spare you :)

    What are my options Netgear R9000 Replacement with at least 6 LAN ports built in?

    5Ghz drop out, suspect HW is getting old in the tooth and it's time before it completely fails. An R7000 I had installed at another location for a family friend 5Ghz just completely died, loaded 3 different FW from different repo outside factory FW and confirmed the behavior in all loads...

    What are my options Netgear R9000 Replacement with at least 6 LAN ports built in?

    I only see 6 RJ45 jacks and the SFP port, I assume your thinking is use the 6 ports for the LAN and SFP for ISP into the shuttle. I think it would very much depend on if the FW allows those ports to be used for LAN instead of WAN. Marking shows it so it must.

    What are my options Netgear R9000 Replacement with at least 6 LAN ports built in?

    These older models seem to be still supported from a firmware perspective. Reliability with the lan ports has me concerned based on what you said. I'm a little surprised they are not as reliable relative to the older r9000 for those ports at least

    What are my options Netgear R9000 Replacement with at least 6 LAN ports built in?

    It's 4 LAN ports, reminds me of the Netgear Darth Vader router lol. I think both the models I list are tri-band, would not make sense to get a dual band

    Thanks we'll look into this is this a new model or an older model?

    What are my options Netgear R9000 Replacement with at least 6 LAN ports built in?

    I've had zero failures on LAN ports on the R9000. It would seem to me with all the latest technologies and manufacturing advances since when the r9000 was developed putting a switch in a router should not be difficult with ports lasting. So my question still stands, are there good viable...

    What are my options Netgear R9000 Replacement with at least 6 LAN ports built in?

    Sure but there's some options just like the ones I posted above I'm curious if there's others

    What are my options Netgear R9000 Replacement with at least 6 LAN ports built in?

    I've been looking at these two but not sure what to make of the negative reviews: ASUS RT-AX89X (AX6000) TP-Link (Archer AX10000) Curious on your thoughts. I expect there to be bad reviews by novices etc, but when people post the WAN port just died etc makes me nervous. I've seen my share of...

    What are my options Netgear R9000 Replacement with at least 6 LAN ports built in?

    The R9000 has served us well but it is time for a new upgrade. I have a few requirements with no exceptions. 1. Has to have 6 LAN ports minimum built in. (No, I'm not going to run external switch/hub, so please don't ask or offer a 4 port LAN option!!!!) 2. Has to be a non-mesh type router...
