Overview
A quad-core processor and four fixed antennas drive this NETGEAR dual-band router, which connects to an existing cable modem and replaces an older router. Four wired ports serve consoles and computers.
It brings current Wi-Fi and the newest WPA security to a smaller home with four wired ports. Coverage is modest, the supported plan speed stops at gigabit, and there is no USB port.
Who it's for
Apartments and small houses with around a couple dozen devices fit this router. Big homes and heavy gamers on fast fiber should step up.
Pros and cons
- WPA3 security support
- Four wired Ethernet ports
- Works with older Wi-Fi devices
- No USB port listed
- Supported plan speed limited to gigabit

Performance notes
Throughput depends on how many devices share two bands and on distance through walls. The quad-core chip handles several real-time streams moving, while the wired ports bypass the wireless load.
