But wow! Your speeds are ridiculously fast! Max speed here is 100mbps. As soon as there is faster though. I’m getting it! We are so far behind is speed wow!
Hey man you may have to do another video to show how to get a fast wifi signal and how to get longer range on this one thank you for the video you the best!!!
RF transmission is relative a great deal to the antennas, their placement, and their quality. I like routers and mesh devices that you can either plumb in better antennas and better placement or a least just add some better aftermarket antenna. Otherwise, put your router up as high in a room as possible. I've seen people that tucked their router way back under a desk or in a nice little hutch and then wondered why it did not have any range...
Nice review, I'm looking to replace an older Orbi system. I would be curious - if this router has any mesh satellite device options (or access points via wire).. I know I can turn the old orbi into an access point , but at this point I'm thinking of a new setup with this at core. ty
I would personally stick with an Orbi mesh system, I'm not a fan of connecting routers to mesh systems. Routers are perfect for smaller places and mesh systems are better for larger places.
I had two of these, previous year models. They were OK. 2018 model had issues with VPN often. Failed completely at 13 months. 2020 model failed completely after 15 months. For $500-600, no thanks.
meet same problem about VPN connection for netgear RAX 70,have asked netgear,they told me it is blocked because China government's policy,can't solve this problem.your problem's reason maybe not same as me.After install new OS named ASUS merlin,this problem is solved!may useful for you!
What I dont get about most USA and other countries is have I have seen. Is that these are only routers not modem routers. Cos in Australia they are both. Ya just plug it into the port in the wall…maybe we have a different type of setup cos it’s NBN and all that but different how every video I’ve seen is
I have a question. So I have this router and 1 Gig internet speed. despite having fast internet speed, it causes my streaming services to buffer a lot and I am getting frustrated with it. I am not sure what is the problem is....would it help If I were to put the ethernet from the modem to the Multi-Gig Port (2.5G/1G), instead of the Yellow internet port? could it be a problem with the ethernet cable I have that connects from the modem to the router and need to have it replaced?
Very extensive test, especially the distance range which I was very interested to know alongside with its download and upload speeds. What you mentioned in the video, I am surprised some configs make a big difference. For me, my use-case is definitely not the same as yours, but it definitely put into perspective for those who have a setup like this or want one like this. *likes the video*
Those are some impressive speed at that range and I do want to upgrade but with wifi 7 router out later this month.. I think I'll wait at the very least these might go down in price a bit....
@@landpet i dont understand how you got 1700 megabit per s wifi on 6e when you have 1 gigabit max wired connection to the provider, what is it? Please expain.
@@KTamas27 I did a local area speed test. To find out the true performance, you want to remove your ISP and public speed test server from the equation hence the need for a local area speed test. I have a full explanation here: czcams.com/video/9NIHAmVkomk/video.html
@@landpet Thanks, i will watch. Do you know about asus link aggregation on tuf ax3000 and axe7800 routers? How it works? If i connect 2 subscription, 2 1 gigabit internet from same provider will that double my speed or give the same speed to 2 PCs 2x 1 gigabit instead of 2x 500 megabit? Can i do in settings the 2 subscriptions to have 1 internet line 1 wifi and one ip number? And do you know if tp link has the same option on any router ? Maybe they or some other manufacturer call it wan aggregation. I heard these two things are not the same. Could you explain? And thanks so much.
3:12 Smart connect 2.4/5 Ghz bands - I'm honestly not a big fan of it because in the past I would have trouble connecting older devices to the network. Maybe I'll try it again when my new router gets here because it would be nice if the device automatically switched between 5 to 2.4 Ghz when you walk farther away from the router.
I currently have the netgear nighthawk XR1000v2 and for $140 it blows the Asus rog strix AX11000 pro gaming router out of the water!! My netgear has geo fencing, ping heat map QoS where I can make sure it’s putting everything up and down to my PC for gaming only!! The Asus didn’t offer ANYTHING!! Only thing is now I need a new for for my 2.5g internet speed but I don’t want to lose my geo fencing or any other gaming specific applications. Does this one offer geo fencing and QoS?
Hi I like to know how RAXE500 comes with power outage situation does it connect automatically or reset to factory ? in case we are away from router and we have security camera connect to it . I searched google apparently few netgears router have this issue (reset to factory)
Power outage shouldn’t do a factory reset on any router or mesh. If it does, it’s a defective unit. I unplug these thing a and plug them in and they start back up with the last settings.
I feel like my question is stupid and I feel like if I did waste money I’m gonna explode but if I have a cax80 and a raxe500 can I connect them and add them to the nighthawk app !?
I have no plans as of now to review that one but that may change in the future. I tried the MX6 and that one was fine but the app wasn't that great, I think I had trouble setting that up initially. Hopefully that's been addressed. You can check out the Deco X55, I have reviewed that one, it's around the same price range and I remember that one being fairly good.
I am looking to find the best router for my home. I have 4 wifi cameras outside, several appliances, garage doors, etc., plus 4 kids with smart tv's and phones. My home is about 2800 sq ft. I've been using an old netgear nighthawk rax120, which works.. but I want to upgrade. What do you recommend?
I would go for mesh system for a house that size. If you want the best it's the Netgear Orbi RBKE963, I have several videos on this. If you want something that's good for the price, I would consider the Deco XE75 (3 pack). This Deco is assuming your internet speeds are up to gigabit speeds. I have videos on that as well.
@@landpet Thank you! What's surprising is my router actually covers the entire house.. it's just a little old.. does the Orbi system provide plenty of ports to hardwire?
I don't know, I haven't tried that. If you haven't purchased anything, I would go directly for a mesh like the Orbi like the 863S or 963 if you planned on extending.
You said about 2-3 words about the internet speed. Could you do video about it? I have a Netgear CM2000-100NAS that should handle speed up to 2.5 Gigabytes. I don't know anything about this type of things, but I want the fastest internet I could get. At this point I am paying Comcast for 1.2 gig internet - fastest they have, but my old Linksys router WRT610N ver.2 hardly gives me any speed. That's why I want to buy this raxe500 rounter. By the way, I have on iPhone 13 Pro 1TB and a Sony TV - top of the line - cost me $4,500. That is all I have. Thanks.
This will handle 1.2Gbps internet speeds. Ethernet devices will provide you with the fastest speeds assuming you’re using the faster ports and are using cables that can handle those speeds like cat7 cables and assuming your device supports those speeds. WiFi devices are a different story, not many devices over WiFi will get to those speeds even if your next to the router and the farther away you get, the slower the WiFi speeds will become. Hope this helps!
Just purchased this router. Standing next to the router, I only get max of 300 mbps on download and 600 upload. On Ethernet I get 940 down and 940 up.... Quite disappointing in the wifi speeds. Upload speed is surprisingly fast but for download not to exceed 300 is sad.
Hmmmmm, well it also depends what you're doing a speed test with, which is why I try to run at least three devices to see their speeds and usually post 2 of the 3,
I rely on my WiFi network speed to keep some devices stable and my routers seem to be capped at like 390 Mbps. What was the speed of this router in case I missed the information?
It depends on your internet speeds, I posted the results for both download and upload speeds on wifi 6 and wifi 6e devices. I forget the numbers off the top of my mind but it should be at 3:54. I typically put chapters so feel free to skip around for the info you need.
@@landpet OK, that sort of was not what I was talking about and perhaps I am misstating my question? It is called several things using several utilities but what is the "link speed" or the max speed between the device and the router? No matter what I do I do not seem to be able to get a link speed faster than 390 Mbps and this is with a variety of Netgear WiFi5 routers. Am I missing something?
Even though this covers quite a bit, I do recommend mesh WiFi systems like the Orbi for instance in larger homes. In super large homes, I would go with the Orbi RBKE963
I didn't try the USB ports on this. I don't think it's going to be fast, it should just be normal speeds. If you want something fast, you need a dedicated Synology NAS
I just bought one and I’m excited when it comes out
nice!
But wow! Your speeds are ridiculously fast! Max speed here is 100mbps. As soon as there is faster though. I’m getting it! We are so far behind is speed wow!
How do you disable the att router/ modem and added your own router I cant figure it out
Hey man you may have to do another video to show how to get a fast wifi signal and how to get longer range on this one thank you for the video you the best!!!
Well it's a combination of a good router/mesh system and devices that can support the faster speeds. Having less interference helps.
RF transmission is relative a great deal to the antennas, their placement, and their quality. I like routers and mesh devices that you can either plumb in better antennas and better placement or a least just add some better aftermarket antenna.

Wired is typically preferred but this router is a beast, so even wireless should be fine unless this thing is hidden behind a lot of stuff and walls.
