Q: Is this a upgrade from my current R7000 netgear router ? (1 answers)
A: Yes indeed, this Netgear AX5300 is an Upgrade over the R7000 Router. First, the AX5300 is a Newer Wi-Fi Standard - Wi-Fi 6 (AX) vs Wi-Fi 5 (AC) for the R7000. Second, the Aggregated/Combined Thruput of AX5300 is approx 5300 Megabits (520 Mb/S @2.4-GHz & 4800 Mb/S @ 5.0-GHz). The R7000 has a Combined 1900 Megabits/Second (600 Mb/S @2.4GHz & 1300 Mb/S). Third, the AX5300 utilizes WPA3 Security vs WPA2 for the R7000. I upgraded my Very Reliable 3+ Yr. Old R7000 Router to the AX5300 over a year ago, and havebeen just as happy with this AX5300 in terms of Reliabilty & Coversge, And the Speed Increase for our Wi-Fi 6 Devices has been Great..Q: Will this router work with Verizon FIOS network? (3 answers)
A: Yes I connected it to Fios without issue.- A: It depends. Usually when they release a new version of Wifi, they just add more bonded channels. 20Mhz, 40Mhz, 80Mhz and so on. I think 5Ghz supports 160Mhz, so each antenna is 40Mhz. 2.4Ghz I think only supports up to 40Mhz. A 5Ghz 160Mhz wide signal will have excellent speed and throughput.... if you live in a lead bunker or in the country. A 5Ghz 20Mhz wide signal will have consistent, no frills coverage. But, the range will be smaller. For me, it's about 20-30 feet.
Q: Can this take a at&t first net sims card? (1 answers)
A: No. No slots for any cards.Q: woud i connect to my guest wifi for 2.4 Hz or use my primary for my smart light bulb? (2 answers)
A: That would be totally up to you, it would work either way. For added security, you could set them up under guest.- A: go to login at 192.168.1.1, hit cancel during login and then you see the reset page. Netgear really hates users and doesn't make it easy in their $300 cash grab slow router w/ ads and subscription services
- A: Hi Rere, Yes but this router has a lot more features and range than the R7000
