Thank you, I purchased the Synology RT6600ax and it is scheduled to be delivered on Wednesday. Synology stood out to me because I had planned to purchase their DS723+ NAS. I really appreciate the advice from sfx2000 and Tech9.

Thank you you, Tech9. I’m no stranger to professional motorsports and worked for a team that campaigned cars in IMSA, ALMS, and the Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series. In fact, I rode with Tony Kanan on Zwift a few days ago— so you know I need a fast router! The Asus RT-AX88U Pro seems like a...

Thank you for your input. MonkeyBrains may be having issues and I was disappointed to see the speeds after hardwiring and doing a speed test. As far as Apple devices, I personally feel it makes a difference— I previously had the Netgear RAX120 and it was complete disaster with macOS. At the...

I need to purchase a new router that will be used almost exclusively with MacOS and iOS/iPadOS devices. I understand this is a bad time to invest in a WiFi 6, 6e, router with the advent of WiFi 7 and I currently own two WiFi 6e devices. I would welcome any recommendations from the community. A...

Thank you for such a thoughtful and thorough reply. I like the idea of the using a small business switch+router instead of a consumer grade router. Security, speed, stability, and support are very important to me. The Cisco RV340W is really compelling as an integrated solution but the RV345P...

Hi Everyone, I'm back in the market and wondering what is the best router for my needs and speeds? I have used the Apple AirPort Time Capsule for many years and loved their seamless integration with OS X and the ability to store music files on the drive. However, given that my AirPort Time...

Thank you. I already did exactly as you described with Netgear support. My only guess at this point is that there is a firmware issue they need to sort out. I’m sending the AX12 back to Netgear.

I am experiencing extremely slow 2.4GHz and 5GHz speeds using the Netgear RAX120 and am wondering if anyone in this community can offer any ideas as to the fix/cause? I have a gigabit internet connection and typically see 992 Mbps upload and 990 upload speeds without a router. Using the RAX120...

Is the increased storage performance in the RAX80 at all attributed to the 1GB of ram vs the 512MB in the R7800?

Simply put what is the best drive to connect to the Netgear R7800? I need to connect a drive to the R7800 so I can access about 120GB of lossless music via my network. What would you pick?

Great review. So it seems the R7800 is your pick of the bunch.

If given the choice between the Asus RT-AX88U, Netgear RAX80, and AX120 what is the top pick for 2018/2019?

Has there been any more confirmation about the AX12 only being able to be "leased" on a subscription model?

Thank you for your detailed response. Can someone or you make a recommendation for a specific router and the the best hard drive I can use in the Synology DS718+? I have been considering the Netgear AX8 or AX11, Asus AC5300, or Synology MR2200ac

UPDATED JUNE 29: I have used the Apple AirPort Time Capsule for many years and loved their seamless integration with OS X and the ability to store music files on the drive. However, given that my AirPort Time Capsule is falling behind, I need to build a new home router ASAP and potentially add a...
