    Upgraded from Linksys EA4500
    4 Stars
    Upgraded from Linksys EA4500
    What an amazing device!My situation:Jcom (Japanese Comcast) 160Mb Cable internetXbox360 gamer: Battlefield series8+ networked devices including Macbook Air mid-2012, iPhone 6 x 2, Lenovo PC, printer, Synology DS214, AppleTV, iPad 2My problems prior to Netgear R8000:-Purchased Linksys EA4500 for $140. I would like to contribute a significant portion of my problems to this terrible company JCOM, who is known for throttling and poor overall performance. But the EA4500 had a lot of problems.-Never could get above 20 Mbps wireless using Speedtest.net with *local* servers. Trying other servers around the world, max was always 20Mbps but usually lower.-Could not quickly download iTunes rentals-Could never use AppleTV wirelessly due to hang-ups (could have been bad Apple firmware)-Poor overall performance: WiFi and believe it or not, wired too.-Battlefield BC2 would consistently (recently) lag to death. I would run 10 steps in the game and be pushed back 8 (imaging the scene on Monty Python Holy Grail where he is rushing the castle to save the prince). My character would move by itself. I would empty a clip into the head of a newbie and he would kill my character first and with a weak pistol. I have played the game for more than 2 years and am level 50 yet I would be killed first like I was a beginner. I would reload a gun or rocket launcher and it would not reload and the weapons would change by themselves. I was about to give up on my favorite game.Why I chose the R8000:So I am about to move and about to finally get Gigabit fiber internet. I needed a router that would run great and cast a much larger Wifi footprint. I was willing to spend money to achieve that. I was about to choose the newest Asus router but I was unsure about the Asus products due to their Taiwanese ownership. Netgear is at least American owned. That of course wasn’t the only reason. I was also planning on buying the Linksys WRT1900AC but right before I clicked “Purchase,” I saw a news clip that said Linksys was bought out by Belkin. Of all companies to buy a router from, Belkin is on the bottom of my list. My heart was broken because I really liked the design of the new Linksys router.I read review after review, looked at Cnet reviews and youtube videos. The Netgear design was nice and I could only imagine how much better the performance would be. I got it when Amazon had it at $250 so I got lucky. I was so excited to set it up.After set up and Awesome things:-I immediately upgraded the firmware. I set up my network. I ran several speed tests, both wired and wireless. I played with SmartConnect and found it better if off. On my Macbook Air, Wireless N, I checked the transmit speed (option click the Wifi icon) and it was at 300 Mbps. That speed is only at the network layer so it was only for reference that I was interested. I wasn’t expecting much because I know the limits of Wireless N. To my great surprise, I got 60 Mbps DL using Speedtest.net!!! This is already 3 times faster than my usual Linksys test was. I was happy. Now 2 weeks later, there was a firmware update. After the update, get this, I got 98 Mbps with a server 1000 Km away!!! Wireless N at 98 Mbps!? Granted, my internet sped up too (I think because I told JCOM that I was cancelling my contract) but regardless, my Macbook Air has NEVER had so much speed on wireless.-My iPhone 6 is an AC capable device but I found that I can never get higher than the speeds on my Macbook. Using a wifi speed tester app, I am pulling 270 Mbps just measuring network speeds but on speedtest.net, I cannot pull more than 30 Mbps using the same local and other servers. That is a bit disappointing.-No more problems with speed on my Mac.-A lot fewer problems with my game. Battlefield is still laggy by nature but I have had much less of the problems like before.Problems:-Wireless AC has not done much better than N on my iphone 6.-SmartConnect did not work well for me and it seemed that wifi speed suffered so I turned it off.-The browser interface is a bit antiquated looking, although it does allow for a lot more flexibility in changing things than Linksys.-My Synology Diskstation is throwing IP address conflict errors even though it is an address much higher than the rest of the group. This is not necessarily a Netgear problem but it came right after I upgraded the firmware.-I find that my iOS devices sometimes lose internet despite their solid Wifi connection. A simple on-off fixes it, but it is scary that phone messages cannot be sent or received during that time.Summary:I move in 3 weeks so when I have a chance to test the gigabit fiber, I will post another update. I think that the Netgear R8000 is a great router, although it is my first Netgear product. It is solid and Netgear seems to be fixing problems and posting new firmware a lot faster than Linksys ever did.The 4 star rating is just mainly because of the poor looking interface and the issues I’ve been having with my iphones and less than awesome AC performance. But I don’t have any more AC devices to test the speeds at except the iphone 6. If Netgear can post more firmware that can address the wifi drops and fix the SmartConnect, I will change to 5 stars.
