REVIEWED: Netgear Nighthawk X10 Wireless-AD7200 Tri-Band Gigabit Router
I haven’t been happy with my WiFi for quite some time now—Apple Airport Extreme not only has poor range and poor performance, but they go AWOL often enough to be annoying, and the performance is flaky too.
Accordingly, I ordered the Netgear Nighthawk X10 Wireless-AD7200 Tri-Band Gigabit Router a few days ago, and I have now tested it and it is a very satisfying upgrade.
REVIEWED: Netgear Nighthawk X10 Wireless-AD7200 Tri-Band Gigabit Router
As always, I strongly recommend wired Gigabit (or 10G) ethernet as vastly superior to all forms of WiFi, at least until we see 60GHz support (which the Netgear Nighthawk X10 supports). All my Macs are using gigabit ethernet (though my kids stick to WiFi). WiFi is for entertainment and miscellaneous devices like iPad/iPhone/TV etc—WiFi is best avoided for performance-sensitive work.
