Spectrum Swapping Default Router With Third Party

Third party batteries are very convenient. But the original will always come in clutch

Perfect replacement for the lenscap that I lost. Third party lens caps never seem to fit quite right and often fall off. Since it is so cheap I will never consider purchasing a third party lens cap ever again.

Always always always buy OEM Battery Grips. I know (3) separate people that bought Third Party battery Grips - Canon, Nikon & Sony. Didn't work, returned it and bought OEM! Please don't go cheap on batteries or grip on your $3,000 camera!

The Panasonic battery is the only one I use in my Lumix GH3 and 4 because it has a chip to tell you the battery life in the view finder. Third party manufacturers do not necessarily have that chip and therefore will not tell you when the battery is about to give out.

This router is a great router combo at an affordable cost. Works well with Spectrum!

Bought this for a sprawling vacation home up north. Now I'm considering swapping it with the Netgear Nighthawk router I use at our primary home here in Phoenix. The performance is just that good!

I upgraded my router from spectrum base model to this lovely nighthawk.. I was noticing lagging and traffic usage was slowing my spectrum router down.. the nighthawk router help my speeds by 200 mps but lowered my ping and can use all my devices without lag spikes! Most get in modem and routers

The default router charter sent us did not work unless you were in the same room as the router, so I, frustrated and tired of paying for Xbox live and Hulu when I can’t even use them decided to get a new router, every thing loads within seconds and I experience little to no lag at all when playing Xbox

I just purchased this router to replace my Netgear R7800 (AC2600) Nighthawk X4S. The Netgear had great range and speed, but the menu system was dog slow and it started having stability problems after 6 months. While I can's speak to the stability of the RT2600AC I can speak to the performance and functionality. This router matches the range and speed of the Netgear (at least in my house - 2960 sq ft with 3 floors). So that's great news since the Netgear is reviewed everywhere as one of the best routers around. But what really pushed me to write this review is the functionality. The parental controls and security functionality in this router blow away the Netgear, and my Previous Asus RT-N66R with Tomato Open Source Firmware. First, the Admin GUI is super fast. Everything just works, and the help is generally good. Second, the parental controls are fantastic. You can configure a default policy which lets you set a web filter (Disabled, Basic, Protected, and Custom). The Basic filter will protect from hacking sites, and the protected filter will protect from hacking and adult sited. So a couple of clicks will make your network child safe. And you can exempt computers from the default policy as well. There is also a safe search policy which I think enables Google's Safe Search. That one made my 17 year old complain about Youtube safe search being force enabled. So it worked, but I had to turn that one off so he could use Youtube properly again. Finally, there is a very easy to use Internet Time Allowed option to limit internet time. This can be set for the default policy and customized for any computer. For example, you can set a default policy for the entire house to turn off the internet from 10 PM to 6 AM but exempt your phone or tablet. This is very, very cool. I wish this router had existed ten years ago.

Great switch from the standard router you would rent from Spectrum. Was having issues connecting 2.4ghz devices to the basic router from them. Bought this and didn’t realize how slow my WIFI was with their router. With the AX4200 my wifi speed is amazing, videos stream better than ever, gaming is much easier and I can now connect my Roomba to my wifi. No complaints so far! Their NETGEAR app also has a ton of features, albeit many that I might not use. However, it is nice to have those options! Thank you!
