In as practical terms as possible, what do I give up if I purchase the Netgear R6400 instead of the Netgear R7000 Nighthawk (besides the cool name)? null

Simply put, R7000 has greater range capability than R6400.

CodeRedXM · Answer

I have used both products and I can say that the nighthawk has bigger antennas that can be removed (unscrewed) whereas the R6400 has them stuck on. This means that the range for the nighthawk is greater than the R6400. Both modems have worked great for me but I find the nighthawk is slightly better at giving wireless signal through walls.

Essentially, you give up the ability to have more devices on your wifi network. The r6400 can handle 6-8 devices at one time on your wifi while the nighthawk allows 8+ devices. This will be the main practical difference you will notice.

It is almost identical and looks identical. performance and range is the same.

A very slight speed reduction. 1750 Mbps vs 1900 Mbps. You probably wouldn't even notice the difference. It is certainly not worth the $50 price differential. The R7000 also has removable antennas while the R6400 has non-removable antennas.

The R6400 is a Nighthawk model they just didn't put it on this page for some reason.But to know what you'd be really giving anything up check the specs of each model.

You need to consider the amount of wireless devices attached to the router. To maximize your speed results , it is definitely worth the extra money for a quality router.
