@greysonmitchem 5 месяцев назад

Great review! I'd love to hear your thoughts comparing the RS700 with the Orbi 970. Netgear sells the 970 standalone.... so assuming you don't need mesh today... which would you buy? Is the nighthawk app better than the orbi app? Do you think Netgear is moving away from Nighthawk (meaning Orbi would be more future proof)?

@captshadab 8 месяцев назад

You know seriously i was about to comment on your videos requesting you to make review of rs700 but for some reasons was missing it and there you go You are the man of routers. Btw after all.careful consideration am.going for eero max 7 let's see how it goes. I was inclined towards asus bq16 but it has 1 gb ram and just gigabit lan ports

@landpet 8 месяцев назад

Appreciate the feedback! eero Max 7 is also great, just remember that as of now (which I'm sure it will get addressed), it can't do 5Gbps internet speeds, get's close but not quite.

@knaughty4u2 7 месяцев назад

I've just started following a few months back.I love the content it is so complete and informative. What's the chance that you'll get your hands on Archer BE800 vs RS 700.

@landpet 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for the feedback! I don't have them yet but there is a chance I will get them to review. If I do get them, I will compare it to the Netgear. I'm going to say a 60% chance of me getting at least one of the archer wifi 7 router.

@codyl1992 7 месяцев назад

This thing has truly impressive range and speed. I’m able to blanket my whole 2000sq foot house which I previously needed 3 eero pro 6’s for. And in many places I can get gig plus download speeds. I’m using it in AP mode with my firewalla gold plus router.

hi, great video!! have a question, but i’m not if it’s possible to connect a cat8 to your router, run it up the wall & into the attic, across ~50ft, and connect it to an extender to put off speeds on other end of the house where it doesn’t reach? product recommendations would be extremely helpful :) thanks

@Lexist-gn5ub 8 месяцев назад

Great review. Like to see a comparison between Netgear and Tp link to see their performance. Also, looks like a firmware update is necessary for BOTH the Guest Wifi and USB port as I've seen users having problems sharing a USB attached device. Buggy Firmware

@landpet 8 месяцев назад

Didn't realize USB had problems as well, looks like they do need a firmware update. this is the only standalone wifi 7 router I have as of now. I do have the deco be85 but will compare that to the Orbi 970 and eero Max 7 as mesh systems.

You can separate out the bands with this one. I don't remember seeing an IoT wifi with this but I wasn't looking for it since the guest SSID wasn't working as of now. Options do look similar to the Orbi though just as a heads up but there can be differences.

@landpet 6 месяцев назад

You may need to run the secondary one in access point mode. I don't think the Nighthawks are designed like the Orbi's. Orbi 970 would be the ideal choice in that scenario

What apps are you all using that would need such fast speed?

Did they fix the guest wifi network issue yet?

@landpet 6 месяцев назад

I haven't tested it in the last month. But there was a firmware update that address the issue. Let me explain, when i picked a new ssid and new guest ssid, it worked fine. When i picked my existing ssid and my existing guest ssid that i normally use, thats when it didnt like it. Now as for using the same ssid and guest ssid that i always use, netgear is working on a fix, maybe thats addressed as well but i havent tested that yet. Simply put, with the new firmware from a month ago. I could pick a new wifi name and a new guest wifi name and password and it does work fine. Just didnt work when i wanted to reuse my wifi name and my guest wifi name. Hopefully that answers the questions.

Depends how big you place is and if the router is centrally placed. I'm more of a fan of mesh systems if the routers can't be placed centrally in the home. I would def give this thing a try (assuming you don't need a guest SSID at least as of now). This one is genuinely very fast if you're looking for a wifi 7 router, I was legitimately impressed with this one.

Any reason why you aren't suggesting the TP-Link BE85? They seem to have dual 10 Gbps AND dual 2.5 Gbps AND SFP+ module for power users. Also, the TP-Link BE85 costs LESS than the Eero, Orbi and Nighthawk.

@landpet 8 месяцев назад

Even though they're both routers, because the Nighthawk is designed as a standalone, I typically don't compare it to mesh systems. Also just posted this which answers your question: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Zw1QeZLg3E0.html

All of them are great. Depends how big your place is, if it's big I would go with a mesh. I'm going to compare the orbi 970 to the eero max 7 to the Deco BE85 this week. So I'll have a better idea when I look at the numbers.

Did you receive any update from Netgear on the Guest-SSID problem? I recently purchased this router and am seeing the same exact issue, there've been a couple of firmware updates in the meantime but they didn't fix it. I imagine more pressure/questions from YT reviewers weighs more than mere mortals complaining to their support...

@landpet 7 месяцев назад

The problem is not fixed yet, they are asking me to try a few things so they can figure out the reason. Just so you know, the problem is because I’m reusing my WiFi name and password and guest WiFi name and password. If I use different passwords, it seems to work just fine with their latest firmware that is not quite released to the public yet.

@ivanmytube 8 месяцев назад

That’s only a USB-A not usb-c. It can connect to a printer but I doubt if it can be fast enough to share a HDD or SSD.

I didn't try it on this but I'm pretty sure it will work with it. I have done this with the ASUS XT8 a couple years ago and that worked fine (also USB-A) even with a portable hard drive. The speeds weren't super fast but it did work. I imagine this will be within that ballpark.
