NETGEAR Nighthawk X8 R8300 - Wireless router - 6-port switch - GigE - 802.11a/b/g/n/ac - Tri-Band
Key item features
- Nighthawk X8 not only delivers the fastest total Wi-Fi speeds of up to 5 Gbps, but also uses Smart Connect to ensure all of your Wi-Fi devices like smart phones, tablets, and laptops connect at the fastest possible speed. Load Balancing distributes Wi-Fi devices amongst the Wi-Fi bands for the most effective use of the 5GHz Wi-Fi bands.
- Reduce buffering and lag while gaming or streaming. Dynamic QoS automatically recognizes different applications and devices and intelligently allocates bandwidth to the most important activities in your home.
- With four internal antennas and four external antennas, the X8 will enhance weak signals and reduce interference. Active Antennas help improve Wi-Fi performance by amplifying Wi-Fi signals in the antenna itself; this avoids signal loss during transmission and noise insertion from the router board. Enjoy better Wi-Fi range, performance and fewer dead-spots with this Active Antenna technology.
- Six Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports allow you to connect even more wired devices. Two of six Gigabit Ethernet ports can be aggregated to double the connection speed to a Network Attached Storage (NAS) device for 4K HD streaming or fast backups of multiple Wi-Fi devices simultaneously.
- Fastest Wi-Fi for all devices! Quad Stream on all three Wi-Fi bands gives you the fastest Wi-Fi speeds combined with MU-MIMO capability allows you to simultaneously stream to multiple devices at the same time. Using Multi-User MIMO technology, NETGEAR routers can stream data to multiple devices simultaneously. With MU-MIMO, your Wi-Fi network can deliver faster throughput to every MU-MIMO connected device. That means faster downloads and smoother streaming for your devices.

Long range and decent config options
I was able to get WiFi to all of my 2k sq ft house, through all the walls, with just this router with no issues. Decent configuration options and a low key design.
Netgear Genie a must have.
I never realized how many features a good router should have until I purchased this one. The Netgear Genie is an essential component of this router. The 'Genie' is made easy to understand and operate and if you have any problems the Netgear Tech Support is very efficient. I would certainly recommend this router to family and friends. I have not found any single thing that I do not like.
Really good router!
Bought this after we were having trouble getting reception around the house and kept losing signal to our 3 ring security cameras. Instantly fixed the problem and gave us more features like plugging in a flash drive for shared storage for everyone in the house.
