The price of this router cannot be beat. The stability this router gives is amazing. I love having total control of how much power is given to my gaming devices and any other that I want to have priority. This also without compromising performance on all other devices in the area of your network.
I was having so many issues with my comcast router always getting dropped and lagging to the point I could not play video games at all. Even if I hard lined in I was only able to get 30-60mbps with my new night hawk I was able to get 200-400mbps! “My speed plan is 600mbps”. One happy camper here “no pun intended”
Helped me maximize internet speeds and optimize my gaming experience. A house full of devices with no hiccups!
I have only ever only used the Basic set up the Internet company provided me. After blowing several Brain aneurysms watching the kill cam for war zone I finally decided to do something about it. I'm not a great player I would be lucky to get a win a week but after getting this router im getting a win a day! Getting this has saved my life lol.
I have been using this router for about a month or so. We used it on LAN mostly and it's been great until later. It started to slow down a bit but I am not entirely sure it's the router. I love the features it comes with. Guest WiFi and two different access to WiFi, 2.4GHz and 5GHz.
Have been using this router for about 7 years now with no issues. It is reliable and easy to set up. Goes fast. Happy with this one! Would recommend!
I am finding that I am needing to reboot this router once a week. If I don't, halfway through the second week I am having issues. Some of the PC's or other devices will disconnect. I work from home due to Covid this year and needing something more reliable. Other that that I had had no issues. This has been going on for the past couple of months and seems to be getting more frequent. I also did a firmware update last weekend. I do use it in the home but I put business because I need to rely on it for work now.
I have been running the XR300 since January and have been having no end of speed issues. Firstly set up router (fixed ip address) and the needed settings. The speed down dropped to 80ish Mb. After call to support, factory resets, rolling back firmware etc etc. they said replace for new. Returned and got 2nd one - basically did the same thing but I discovered that if I turned wifi off and then back on again (from gui not button on box) then it would go back to proper speeds. Now a few months on the speed has dropped again back to 80/100 Mb ish down. Trying the wifi off / on no longer gets the speed back. This is very poor and makes it's a pointless device.An expensive paper weight. Maybe it does not like the amount of devices attached and it's getting confused. It's a shame as I have been a fan of netgear for years and "upgraded" (may not be the right word) from an older netgear router because despite that one working flawlessly if just could not do more than 250Mb ish throughput. I have however come accross reference on the internet to the XR300 not being able to cope if you change the SSID and in particularly changing the network key. As issues have hinted more and more that the wifi is the route of the issue I have changed the SSID and network key back to default (not sure what the guest default was). And I have disabled both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz radios and rebooted the system. This has now put the speeds to where it should be (500Gb) - finally. As long as I dont ever use the wifi. BUT as wifi is a big "sales" point of this router it is very very bad that a router at this price point just can't manage decent WAN speed with wifi turned on. I have always been a fan of netgear products but time to start looking at other makes from now on.
Netgear is a PoS. This router occasionally assigns a 192.168.1 address to the WAN and everything breaks. Never had that issue until I got this router and searching Netgear forums shows that the issue has been showing up in their products for years.
Very unstable. Worked fine for a few weeks and then the speed slowed down. Reset the router twice and speeds were very slow. I have 500 megs and this router reduce the speeds to 15 to 20 megs, even after reset. This is a horrible router and will become useless in a matter of weeks. I read another review with similar issue and the review is correct.
