*attached is a photo of the physical router, as well as wireless download speeds 45 feet away with 3 walls in between using a Wi-Fi 6 device (Alienware Area 51M R2)*This review is for NETGEAR Nighthawk Pro Gaming 6-Stream WiFi 6 Router (XR1000).Well this is one of the best routers I’ve ever owned. I upgraded from the Nighthawk R7000 and I am not looking back. I currently use the 1Gbps plan with Frontier, hooked up directly from the Ethernet cable to the ONT Box so I am not using a modem. I’ve never seen wireless speeds at this level in my 25 years of being alive. To put it to the test, I deleted my entire Steam library and re-downloaded all my games. I averaged 97-99 MB/s download speeds. To make that a little simple to understand, I could download 1GB of data in about 10-11 seconds. This is thanks to the new generation of wifi being WiFi 6, just make sure your devices support WiFi 6 before considering this router because if not, you’re better off purchasing a cheaper router.The next best thing about this router is its range. I can go 45 feet away from the router with 3 walls in between and still get 4/5 bars on the 5Ghz channel. My download speeds drop from 97-99 MB/s to 70-75 MB/s, which I don’t really consider that much of a loss.The software this device uses is called DumaOS 3.0, A next generation system that allows you to Calibrate the bandwidth usage between all your devices connected to this router. You are able to allocate the percentage of the bandwidth used either by applications or by devices. I prefer the system to divide my bandwidth by applications, and by activating the “share excess bandwidth”, the system will provide more than the allocated bandwidth should you need it to get those big files downloaded quickly.A few noteworthy items are that I did have some trouble during initial setup, where the setup page kept on reloading while the router tried to update its firmware. A solution I found to this was to simply set up the router through the Nighthawk app on your phone. That process took about 5 minutes versus having trouble using the Ethernet cable to set up the router. The next issue I had was that my WiFi 6 capable laptop received a “no internet connection” when wirelessly connected to the router. I corrected this by doing a “Network reset” on my laptop. Once I tried connecting again to the router, the issue was resolved and connection was established.To summarize, I highly recommend this router IF:1. You own and use Wi-Fi 6 capable devices2. A good internet plan of at least 500/500 speeds to enjoy your wireless speeds.3. Desire the ability to customize your bandwidth usage across your devices.Enjoy!

The router has been really good in helping me get better internet speeds. It also has an app that allows for a bit of customization and helps you secure your devices which prevents cyberattacks. Signal strength is great, was able to set up in 10 minutes. I’d say you’d really get your money’s worth purchasing this router.

Everything runs very smoothly. We don’t even game, we use this for just our everyday devices. Works amazingly! No issues with connection/s. Highly, highly recommend!

My son and I are both gamers. He sticks to Fortnite, while I play different multiplayer games. The issue we had was our ping. We were constantly lagging. We were initially using the router that Spectrum provides. We called and they had a tech come out and replace some cables, and that didn’t work. Another tech came out and replaced the router, same issue.From this point I decided to just purchase my own router, so i went with the NETGEAR Nighthawk Pro Gaming 6-Stream WiFi 6 Router (XR1000) – AX5400. It has worked AMAZING. I had had no trouble with lag, wifi signal for all our other devices has improved. Its a pricey item, but I feel it is well worth it. Couldn’t be happier

This thing handles my fiber speeds perfectly fine. I get max speeds always and I have total control over the network and gaming systems so they get priority when needed. I’ve always loved ping assist for gaming works great to get you that lowest latency possible.

Very Pleased GeekBy WJA – Des Moines, IABought the XR1000v2 to upgrade my R7000, after recently changing to a fiber 1G provider. The R7000 averaged about 400MB wireless pass through, and the XR1000v2 averages 900MB Wireless pass through.

I have it for over a Year. Great perfomance BUT Only problem is the Subscription after the Trial costing $50 to %$100 a year.

Bought this Nighthawk Pro Gaming 6 AX5400 (XR1000) router as “used – good” condition. When I took it out, the WPS button was stuck inside. Like someone pressed the button too far in that the button shifted up and was stuck under the cover. No big deal as I have star bits to take the router apart and fix the button. I knew used units are a little rough so I don’t think this issue needed a star removed.As for setting it up, it was a slight hassle. I can tell why someone would return this router as the DumaOS interface is not too easy to use without instructions. If you want a router that turns on and works automatically, this is not the router. If you don’t have a somewhat of an understanding on WiFi networking, this not the router for you as it requires some knowledge to set it up to have it work properly.The DumaOS interface is slightly buggy and almost all of the features didn’t work after updating the firmware. Luckily, Netgear has previous firmwares for download and I rolled it back by one version to get it all working again. Still, I wanted the latest firmware and there was an easy fix to updating the firmware without issues. It’s called not using Google Chrome browser and using Microsoft Edge browser. In fact, it works faster and less buggy in the Edge browser. Everything in the DumaOS works great on the latest firmware with Edge so if you’re having buggy issues with the interface, just switch to Edge.Overall, buying this used saved me about 118 dollars. This replaced my old Nighthawk DST AC1900 (R7300). With the old router, Nintendo Switch had issues with the eShop and just trying to download games, the TV had streaming issues that would cut in and out, and my Oculus Quest 2 had a lot of connection issues. This router SOLVED ALL OF THESE ISSUES! It’s a great router but you need to know what you’re doing with the DumaOS interface to make full use of the router.

So far this has been a much needed upgrade to our wifi network. Easy to set up and have had no problems with the network since the install. Definite improvement in streaming when compared the router supplied by the ISP, and we are no longer paying the the monthly fee to have their router. Should have pulled the trigger long ago.
