This network engineer is very impressed Iâm a network engineer and I wanted to replace my enterprise gear at home with something simple to manage, yet powerful. Iâm getting old and Iâd rather not troubleshoot network problems at home. Not that it happens often, but itâs been a nightmare when the wife calls saying that the Internet isnât working. Time to downgrade. Enter the Netgear XR500.The XR500 ticks off the boxes I was looking for:-It does not need to be rebooted for silly wireless issues. Itâs rock-solid stable.-Never needs a reboot to change a setting.-The WiFi range goes well into my yard, past my neighbors home and into the street. How?? It blows away a multiple AP setup it replaced.-My iPhone X is speed testing at 91/5.5 on a 100/5 Internet connection. My computers test at 110+/5.5.-AirPlay runs flawessly to my Apple TV 4K.-Initial setup is simple. My dog could have done it.-VPN is simple to configure and has detailed instructions accompanying the menu…
It is perfect for a novice like myself to manage my home … Being a casual gamer with a DSL connection in today’s world is a real disadvantage. My ping speeds were in the 190s prior to this router. After using the geo filter and anti buffer bloat they dropped into the 20s!!!! Yes, the 20s. Only having 10 MBps, the traffic prioritisation is a must have. I put my PS4 at the top of the list and if somebody decides to fire up youtube while I’m playing its not an issue anymore. This is a game changer. But the real benefit is the DUMA OS. It is perfect for a novice like myself to manage my home network however I want. Kid wont put down the IPad and take out the trash? No problem, one click and that IPad is offline. Want to block sites for certain devices? Done. There are super technical things you can do on this but I’m too scared to mess with those so I don’t. It seems like a lot of money but once you realize the benefits of this you’ll wish you’d have done it sooner.
