NETGEAR Nighthawk XR1000 Dual-Band Wi-Fi 6 Pro Gaming Router

  

NETGEAR Nighthawk XR1000 Dual-Band Wi-Fi 6 Pro Gaming Router - brand new never used. One look at the XR1000's sculpted black cabinet with red grillwork tells you that this router is designed for gaming. At 2.5 by 11.6 by 7.8 inches (HWD), it's not nearly as massive as the TP-Link AX11000 (7.2 by 11.3 by 11.3 inches) and it only uses four antennas compared with the AX11000's eight.

In addition to Wi-Fi and WPS buttons, the top of the router holds LED indicators for internet activity, 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi activity, LAN activity, and USB activity. A power LED glows white when the router is up and running, and turns amber during firmware updates. The back panel contains four gigabit LAN ports and a gigabit WAN port, a USB 3.0 port, a reset button, a power jack, and a power button.

The XR1000 lacks the multi-gig (2.5Gb) LAN port and support for link aggregation that you get with the TP-Link AX11000 and the. The XR1000 is powered by a 1.5GHz tri-core processor, 256MB of flash memory, and 512MB of RAM. It's a dual-band AX5400 router capable of speeds of up to 600Mbps on the 2.4GHz (2x2) band, and up to 4.8Gbps on the 5GHz (4x4) band. It supports the latest Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) technologies including 1024 QAM (quadrature amplitude modulation), 160MHz channel bandwidth, WPA3 encryption, OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple-Access), MU-MIMO simultaneous data streaming, and direct-to-client signal transmissions (beamforming).

We reviewed back in 2018, the XR1000 uses Netduma's DumaOS, a slick interactive operating system designed for gamers who want to optimize online gaming performance, control which game servers they connect to, and monitor hardware usage. It opens to a Dashboard that contains graphs of CPU and bandwidth usage, Wi-Fi and internet status, installed apps (called RAPPs), and the status of your guest network. You can install the XR1000 using the Nighthawk mobile app or via the web console-both methods are quick and easy.

I chose the latter and started by plugging in the router and connecting it to my modem. In the address bar to launch the setup wizard. I confirmed that the router was connected to the internet, tapped Next, and the wizard ran SpeedTest to check my internet upload and download speeds.

I tapped Next again, configured my Admin Account settings, and then configured my Wi-Fi SSID and password settings. After a two-minute firmware update, the installation was complete.
