Disappointing range on both bands

Dynamic QoS needs work
Asus RT-AC87U still much faster when paired with an 802.11ac bridge
MU-MIMO support yet to be delivered (same goes for Asus)
The router's Wi-Fi performance is significantly slower than its competitor
And its sluggish interface lacks in-depth customization and is bloated with too many menu items. The price is way too high for what the router has to offer
The crutch for each of the Wave 2 solutions we have tested in the past has always been the client-side options for connecting and utilizing the full potential of a solution, whether it is the RT87U, or the E8350 from Linksys. At this point in time, the s...

Are you looking for an 802.11ac router? Then you'll be able to choose from a plethora of routers, since pretty much all 802.11ac models that have been released since 2012, are still readily available. This does imply that there hasn't been a lot of chan...
Starting off with the build quality and design of the Nighthawk X4 we have a router which very much stands out in its marketplace. The angled design looks like some sort of spacecraft and the nice chunky antenna add an extra aesthetic appeal to it. We lik...
Fast 802.11ac wireless performance, Excellent speeds from the built, in USB 3.0 ports, Funky and futuristic design
Limited client support for faster 4x4 802.11ac speeds, Bland looking software, Relatively expensive compared to rivals
The Nighthawk X4 is a powerful router in all respects, especially when set up with a client that supports quad-stream 802.11ac – but that power certainly comes at a price...
Abstract: The router's weight is a fairly substantial 778g and that is before you even add the four antennas that are required by this device. To give you some comparison with regards to the weight issue of this router, I weighed by current router which, unlike the...

All told, the Netgear Nighthawk X4 R7500 is an excellent performer that is a good choice for those that crave the best performance and range from their router. We'd prefer a slicker UI, and there are definitely still concerns over how few devices can conn...
Little faster than the best AC1900 routers, Overly expensive, UI needs updating
Netgear has produced the fastest router we've ever seen, but not by much. Consequently, despite a fancy design and next-generation wireless standard, we don't think the big increase in price is worth it compared to current AC1900 bargains such as the D-L...
