Netgear Wireless Router Antenna

The Synology RT2600AC router is a sound choice for anyone looking to replace their current router (necessity of from frustration). Synology's SRM interface (Synology Router Manager) is ahead of the pack as far as features and ease of use, and if you have a Synology NAS box like I do you will be right at home while configuring it as they are similar. So far performance is far better than my Netgear Nighthawk X4 (the R7500). Very solid performance with 3 PC's gaming, an Apple TV streaming video, two phones streaming music, and an iPad web browsing. A few words about the SRM- It has features other routers COULD put in but don't, like the ability to have the status lights turn on and off on a schedule (important because right now it's in our bedroom), better security, and stability. I was able to upgrade the SRM twice without loosing Internet connectivity or rebooting it. There are also plug-ins to the SRM you can get through the Package Center, like Intrusion Detection (which requires a USB drive to load). Cons- NONE. Only problem I had was with an antenna would not screw onto the screw mounts. The threads were not properly formed inside the connector on the antenna. I called Synology tech support, and submitted a ticket with all the info. A day later they shipped me a new antenna that I received in a few days. It worked fine. In the interim I used an antenna from a Netgear (they are all the same size threads). Not what I wanted to do, but I would have rather done that than wait those few days to install my new router. Very happy with customer service! Other thoughts... wish it was available when I bought the Netgear. I would have spent the extra money, because it's worth it. Routers that cost $300+? Go read reviews at smallnetbuilder.com. Many of the features are only available if you buy a new network card (for desktops), and no current laptops/tablets/phones can take advantage of the features yet either. Not for a while anyway (a year or two at least).

Upon doing a lot of research between other cable modem/router combos, I finally decided the Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 was the best selection to fit my needs. I live in a home that is 1850 square ft and the wireless coverage reaches in all areas of the entire house with no problem as I performed multiple speed tests and the results were very consistent throughout. The setup through the router setup management interface was seamless and very user friendly. I was able to set up my 2.4Ghz, 5 GHz, and guest wireless networks in 3 minutes. I also like the fact that you can set parental controls to manage usage time and block inappropriate websites. The Netgear ReadyShare Vault is extremely handy for me so that I can share movies, pictures, and files across the network. Overall, I would highly recommend this product!

Purchased after having difficult experience with the Netgear Orbi. This Synology Wireless Tri-Band Mesh Router coupled with the Synology RT2600 AC Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router serve as the backbone for my 1.3k sqft apartment and I've experience no drops with higher throughput (compared to the Netgear Orbi). Great products, highly recommend.

This Netgear Modem is great. I did a speed test and hit 890Mbps which is insane! One thing to know is that it is non wireless. You will need a router if you have more than 1 wireless device. It was worth every penny though. I recommend getting a router anyway, it will improve a lot. Ditch your company rent boxes and get this!

I replace my Cox cable modem and wireless router with Netgear. The signal strength throughout my 2200 sqft house is great. I can even connect my outdoor TV to the internet now. I get the same speed on wireless as I do with the computer plugged into the internet. Great products.

This router is such a great replacement to the old Netgear router we had.

Great speed, over expectations with netgear router.

The Netgear cable modem provides 1000mbs to my router just like it says!

So I upgraded my router and I must say I’m very happy with this new router from Netgear.

Great antenna work superb on my tv furthest away from the router.
