That said, let’s take a look at how the R8500 compares to the previous generation of routers in our testing regimen.Wi-Fi Technology: IEEE 802.11ac, Wi-Fi Performance: AC5300 (1000 + 2166 + 2166 Mbps), Wi-Fi Range: Very Large Homes, Wi-Fi Band: Simultaneous Tri Band Wi-Fi - Tx / Rx 4 x 4 (2.4 GHz) + 4 x 4 (5 GHz) + 4 x 4 (5 GHz), Beamforming: Implicit and Explicit Beamforming for 2.4 and 5 GHz Bands, Dual Gigabit Ethernet Port Aggregation, Smart Connect Intelligently Selects the Fastest Wi-Fi Band for Every Device, Load Balancing Distributes Wi-Fi Devices Ensuring Usage of Both 5 GHz Wi-Fi Bands, MU-MIMO Capable Simultaneous Streaming of Data for Multiple Devices, Dynamic QoS Prioritizes Network Traffic by Application and Device, Read圜LOUD USB Access, ReadySHARE Vault, DLNA Server to Find and Play Your Media on TVs and Game Consoles, Enhanced Parental Controls to Manage Web Filtering and Accessibility by Profiles or Devices, NETGEAR Genie Home Network Manager Includes Remote Access to Manage Your Network Away from Home, Processor: Powerful Dual Core 1.4 GHz Processor, Memory: 128 MB Flash and 512 MB RAM, Dimensions: 12.44 x 10.39 x 2. There might be more bandwidth available, but you’ll never get anywhere close to using all of it, and for these tri-band routers you really need multiple clients connected at once to actually experience any benefit over an AC1750 or equivalent router. Nighthawk X8 & looking for firmware that will get 1gig w/Centurylink. Also, keep in mind that just because one router is labeled as “AC3200” and this one is labeled as “AC5300” doesn’t mean it’ll be any faster for you in your wireless environment. We ran each bandwidth test three times, and then reported the average of all three tests. This is on a cable internet connection that affords approximately 180Mb/s downstream, and 10Mb/s upstream.
We had already established a testing regimen with our previous roundup, so we ran the Netgear router through the same gauntlet using two Windows 10 PCs a desktop and a laptop, connected to each other wirelessly. To see how we tested the Netgear R8500, be sure to read this link for an explanation.
