First off, thank you so much for sharing all of your info on this product. I'm just about to pull the trigger on the ScreenBeam ECB7250K02 kit over on Amazon, but... Whenever I look at a product on Amazon, I skip the good reviews and go right to the one and two star reviews. There are a lot of...

I'm sorry Jayce, but IMO, your video is a very low effort, one sided review that states nothing more than the information shown on the manufacturer's web site product page. It is nothing more than a thinly veiled attempt to get people to buy the product using your Amazon Affiliate Link shown in...

Just an update.... So I added the C2000T back in to the network. It's handling the PPoE connection to CenturyLink, and also as the DHCP server. The R7000 is connected to the C2000T via ethernet, and serves as the WiFi access point, and gives me an additional three ethernet plugs. Devices...

Yup, Trip, they finally did. Wow, the early firmware for the R7000 was a complete nightmare. I was set on giving AdvancedTomato a go here a few days back, but after seeing how well the stock firmware has been performing, I'm taking the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" route now. Latest version...

xtremesniper, I'm very much a noob when it comes to networking/wifi, but I can at least relate my experiences with the R7000. When I first bought the router (right after it's debut) the stock firmware was very buggy. I had been running various versions of Kong's DD-WRT right up until this last...

No, it only hits it's head across the WAN port. LAN-LAN speeds are fine. And I *wish* it would do 850; it is maxing out at 500. The RT-87U is the router that has been reported to hit 850 across the WAN port, but I don't have that router. I considered purchasing it, but there are wide spread...

The radio in my laptop is only 1x1.

The horrible early stock R7000 firmware is what caused me to flash DD-WRT in the first place, but it appears that Netgear has finally worked out the bugs. When I took the C2000T out of service, I flashed the R7000 to the latest stock firmware. The R7000 is currently doing it all (PPPoE sign in...

I really appreciate the great advice, Trip, I'll give AdvancedTomato a go today. Thanks again!

Thanks for the suggestions, Trip, I'll look in to those firmware versions. Prior to replacing the C2000T with the R7000, I had been using the R7000 with my old cable modem. I was running Kong's version of DD-WRT. Unfortunately, I couldn't get the Kong firmware to play well with the C2000T; it...

Initially, I had the C2000T handling the ethernet connections with the R7000 as the WiFi AP, but the R7000 kept crashing every couple hours. It can handle the full gig, Tim.

Thanks for the replies, gents! Yeah, I know that i won't achieve gigabit speeds on the wifi. I have four devices that are connected via ethernet in my den, and a ton of wifi devices throughout the rest of the house. I certainly don't expect wifi speeds to hit 1 gig, but it would be nice to have...

Yesterday, I had CenturyLink install 1 gigabit up/down fiber internet to my home. I was ecstatic, right up until I looked at the stats on the bottom of the Technicolor C2000T router they hooked up; the WiFi in this box is .n. Unbelievable that they would supply a .n box for a gig fiber...

Tim, thanks for the info. I pulled cat5e in my last house, but unfortunately the new house is going to be a rental, so pulling cable and cutting holes isn't an option, unfortunately (yeah, I already asked the landlord about it when I saw it wasn't wired for ethernet). Most of the time, I'll be...

The confusing part is that there just isn't one clear winner... they each have their strengths/weaknesses, and it's so hard to determine which hardware's strengths/weaknesses best match the setup I'm trying to do. As for the WNDR3700, that was a statement made in frustration. I'm really looking...
