Thanks. I have Netgear R6300 right now.

That was my last one, until I bought this one about 3 months ago. Netgear AC2600 Nighthawk X4S :)

Did you replace because you wanted new or was the old one, R6300, acting flaky.

Pretty sure mine is is acting flaky on Wireless. Can test speed, same device, same location and results will vary greatly. When wireless speed is down I can test on wired connection and it is screaming. (Wireless maybe 2.5 Mbps and wired will be 140Mbps)

Using InSSider I can see other networks but they shouldn't be strong enough to influence. If I power cycle speed comes back, again testing in the same location on same device. (Basically I drop my iPad in place, go and cycle and come back.

Netgear keeps telling me to reset but getting tired of that solution.

Current wired speed.

It was getting old, but still working ok, until my puppy decided to chew the power cables off it, so I decided to replace it. :) I was going to replace it anyhow, but Sammy made me replace it a little quicker. :)

Your speeds are much better than mine, and its not the routers fault. It's my ISP :)

Yes mine is 4.5 years old.

Yes but I live in a sub division with fiber to the node.

I live in the country, with only one choice for internet. Used to be Time Warner, now I got Spectrum, because they bought Time Warner.

I know the feeling. Support lots of people in country. They're on cellular or satellite. The towers are at their limit for coverage so speed is a real issue.

You like the Nighthawk?
