  • Network
    • Quality Of Service (QoS) Traffic Prioritization: true (Allows a user to manage a device's network performance by configuring the types of traffic that receive top priority for transmission. High priority functions and applications receive maximum network performance, while low priority traffic receives minimum performance.)
    • Band Technology: Tri (Refers to the number of frequency bands used to wirelessly transmit an internet signal. For example, dual-band devices may use one 2.4 and one 5 GHz band, while tri-band devices may use one 2.4 and two 5 GHz bands. Multiple bands also provide more flexibility for designating connected devices to specific band use.)
    • Ethernet Standard: 10/100/1000/10000 (Each standard is a variation of the IEEE 802.3 set of computer networking technologies known as Ethernet. New versions evolved to include higher bandwidth, different physical media, and other new and improved features. Standards are often denoted by speeds (in Megabits per second). For example, a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port transmits at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps).)
    • Number of Antennas: 4
    • Frequency Band: 2.4 GHz, 5.0 GHz, 60 GHz (Bands may be grouped into categories such as low- and high-band VHF (Very High Frequency), low- and high-band UHF (Ultra High Frequency), or certain frequency channels (measured in MHz or GHz). Generally, higher frequencies transmit information faster but have shorter range than lower frequencies.)
    • Wireless Networking Standard: Wi-Fi 6 (The wireless networking standard used by the device. Each iteration of the standard developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance corresponds to an existing IEEE 802.11 protocol; for example, standard 802.11ac (or AC) is termed Wi-Fi 5. Refers specifically to the standard the device is designed to use, but ultimately determines product interoperability and backward compatibility including previous versions.)
    • Wireless Standard: AC, AD, N (The wireless networking protocol used by the device. Each iteration of the protocol is based on the 802.11 standard developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standards Association. Denoted by letters following 802.11 (802.11a, 802.11ac, etc.), each version, published in alphabetical order, encompasses all previous versions.)
    • Number of 2.4Ghz Streams: 1 (A router's streams are like lanes on a highway. The more streams a router has, the less traffic congestion. Because the 2.4 GHz band is used to transmit wireless signals to a wide variety of devices, there is often high amounts of traffic on that stream. But with multiple streams, each can be designated to a specific device for optimal performance. For example, if one 2.4 GHz stream is assigned to one device, such as a desktop computer, it leaves the remaining streams open for guest users, devices that use more data, or devices with specific band compatibility.)
    • Number of 5.0Ghz Streams: 2 (A router's streams are like lanes on a highway. The more streams a router has, the less traffic congestion. The 5.0 GHz band provides high speed, short-range data transmission and typically has less traffic than the 2.4 GHz band. With multiple streams, each can be designated to a specific device for optimal performance. For example, if one 5.0 GHz stream is assigned to one device, such as a streaming media player, it leaves the remaining streams open for guest users, devices that need less data, or devices with specific band compatibility.)
    • Ethernet Switch: true (Connects multiple devices to expand the Local Area Network (LAN).)
  • Certifications Listings & Approvals
    • ENERGY STAR Certified: false (Devices carrying the ENERGY STAR service mark, such as computer products and peripherals, kitchen appliances, and other products, generally use 20% to 30% less energy than required by federal standards.)

Q: is this router(Netgear nighthawk AD7200) compatible or good to use with the Netgear AC1900 modem/router? should i buy a newer modem to go with this router?

A: Well this router will replace that Netgear AC1900 R7000. The XR700 is much stronger and should handle all your devices. You could use that Netgear AC1900 R7000 as an Access Point if you relay wanted to. As far as a newer modem that depends on the internet speed your currently paying for and or if you plan to upgrade your internet speed plan. I am using a CM1100 which is overkill for what I am paying for, but it has been very stable. I do not see the CM1100 here at Best Buy but the CM1000 is the same. The only diffrence between the CM1000 and the CM1100 is that the CM1100 has Ethernet Port Aggregation and the CM1000 does Not have Ethernet Port Aggregation (refer to image). Netgear sells several modems. One thing I would suggest is to make sure your modems dBmV levels are -7 to +7 dBmV. You can check that in the modems login page (refer to image), as you can see my levels are pretty close, I had the tech come out and do there best with my lines.

Q: Can this be used with the Netgear S8000 gigabit ethernet switch?

A: I really recommend this router it seems a little intimidating when trying to set up , but trust me is not , it’s a little pricey but worth every penny, I do lots of gaming so it fits my style now if ur trying to do gaming n stream n watch 4K Netflix Hulu n so on there’s other routers that are better suited for that , but for straight gaming n streaming this router it’s the way to go

Q: Does this connect to a fiber ont modem?

A: Yes it does n boy the speed are crazy

Q: Can this router be use with my Verizon Fios gigabit internet service

A: Yes, you can use this router with your Verizon Fios.

Q: I currently have an X10/R9000 that I’m about to return. Is it worth the extra cash to get this one instead. I game a little, but kids do more than I do. We ha e a lot of wireless devices, to include two Xbox ones and a PlayStation 4.

A: I have own the xr500 it’s really good if you have minimum devices but since I have a lot of devices connected to WiFi and ethernet cable I need something that can handle my gig internet better with all my devices and the xr700 has made everything lot better but it all depends how you manage your devices bandwidth but if you like to spend on something that would last and would make things better for you I would recommend it but if you have less then 8 devices connected I would go with xr500 but that’s more for a streaming person if you want good WiFi , good speed, no lag, I would go with xr700
