Netgear XR500 Wireless AC2600 Mbps Dual-Band Pro Gaming Router

Netgear XR500 Nighthawk Pro Gaming XR500 Router (XR500) is Netgear’s return to gaming routers. It has the appearance of a modern take on the Nighthawk X4S, with a horizontal design, and four antennas with the sharp angles that can be compared to a stealth aircraft, all in black plastic. Hardware wise, it ticks the right boxes with AC2600 speeds (N800/AC1733), a dual core 1.7 GHz processor, dual USB 3.0 ports, Beamforming and MU-MIMO. It also uses Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS), which adds fifteen additional unlicensed channels on the 5 GHz frequency to minimize interference. The only real deficiency here is the router has only four Gigabit LAN ports
