Overview
Sharing a USB hard drive across the home network is one of its jobs, alongside running two Wi-Fi bands at once. The NETGEAR router connects to an existing modem and is set up through the genie app or a web interface.
Two simultaneous bands and USB drive sharing give a small household more than a basic single band router offers. The wireless standard is older, and the listed wired port speed limits transfers on fast plans.
Who it's for
Small apartments and home offices wanting parental controls, a guest network and shared storage get those in one unit. Homes with gigabit service or many current phones and laptops should look at a newer router.
Pros and cons
- Two bands run simultaneously
- USB drive sharing over the network
- Guest network support
- Parental controls via OpenDNS
- Older Wi-Fi standard
- Slower wired port speed listed
- No built in modem
Performance notes
Throughput is limited by the older wireless standard on each band, so devices split across both bands see less congestion than on one. Automatic QoS gives streaming and calls priority over downloads. Wired transfers follow the listed port speed, which caps what a fast connection delivers.
