The router has a buggy 2.4Ghz band and comparatively short Wi-Fi range
And -- when all is working as intended -- it doesn't perform any better than other AC1900 routers. It's also crazily expensive
Not the fastest 802.11ac router when servicing just one client
Fast transfer rates, Space-age looks, Versatile dual 802.11ac Wi-Fi networks
Middling USB transfer speeds, Interface is overly simplified, Dual Wi-Fi overkill (for most)

Abstract: Physically it's designed with that same brooding matte-black finish as last year's model — which basically means it'll still look great sitting in the Batcave next to the Tumbler batmobile from Batman Begins . So how has Netgear leaped from 1.9Gbps AC190...
Abstract: Netgear sent us their Nighthawk. No, it's not Batman's latest vehicle, it's their flagship router, designed to spread the wireless love far and wide.Opening the box, it does appear to have been developed by Bruce Wayne Enterprises, being reminiscent of a...

The Netgear R8000 Nighthawk X6 is, without a doubt, the fastest router that we have tested thus far. This isn't because of the introduction of all sorts of hip new technologies, such as Multi-User MIMO, but mainly because of the addition of an extra rad...
