Reliable high end router for home and small biz
on May 9, 2017
Posted by: leche
Received this router free from Netgear's First Look Review program.
I have been using Netgear R7000 for almost a year now (also sponsored by Netgear), and it has served me well, no major issue with it. Now I got the new R7000P, the real difference is the MU-MIMO capability. Now, I have to be honest, as a typical home user, my broadband is limited at about 80mbps, so MU-MIMO would not make any obvious difference to me for steaming or downloading things off the internet no matter how many devices are all streaming/downloading at same time. But I did notice a bit more stable connection in AC connection. My old R7000's AC would sometime drop connection, but the R7000P never have this problem with me. So this is a plus for me.
As for those of you who never had a Netgear router, it supports pretty much all the feature an high end router would support, VPN, port forward, QoS, vlan, guest network...etc. I don't think there is any feature that I need is missing.
Now the bad part, I tried this new app they have called "Netgear Up", to help you do an initial setup of the router. This app is a complete waste of time, it only works if your router is connected to the internet (then why would I need this app at all), and pretty much the only option is to check for firmware update, then it shows you router status, which is also pretty useless consider I had to download a whole app just for that. I think they should have just integrate this with the Netgear Genie app (which is a decent router configuration app you should have around).

Overall, I am happy with the router, it has been running for the past 2 weeks and never had any issue. And I will keep it has my main router from now on.
I would recommend this to a friend!
