Question: What WiFi Adapter should I be using with this? I don't see a USB3 Tri-Band Adapter anywhere. Do I need it?
Document: It now works as a backup device only. The router has two USB ports and now I can connect another hard drive to it to keep have my collection of movies always available to me, not on my computer's hard drive but readily available when ever I need them.A few of the features of the router, which I love:1. A tri-band WiFi, two of them working at 5GHz give you the fastest internet service, ideal for gaming and online streaming2. S3.
I pre-ordered this router as I m so excited about the tri-band.However since day 1, wifi connections kept getting dropped. I actually called Amazon to return this one.Then Netgear released a new firmware before I was about to pack and mail it back.Installed the firmware fixed the issue.
I was selected to receive and test the NETGEAR "AC3200 Nighthawk X6 Tri-Band Wifi Router (R8000)". I was running a NETGEAR "RangeMax Wireless-N Gigabit Router (WNR3500)", which was great for me until I moved into my new home. In my old home, I wired it for gigabit ethernet, so my server and all my media clients (e.g. XBox 360, PS3, destop PC, Wii, etc.)
You can access your home network from your office location using a VPN facility-the ultimate requirement in today's era !!5. WiFi signal has implicit and explicit beam forming of signal so that the device being used gets the maximum of the bandwidth of Wi-Fi, thus improving speed further6. Two USB pots, one of them USB3.0 make the data access superfast from the connected devices.7. Included software application "Genie" is actually a genie in all senses.
All of my WiFi devices have suffered terrible battery life since installing this router - especially on the 5GHz range. The signal strength is excellent and an improvement over the DLink AC1750 it replaced but clearly the R8000 is dropping connections based on the battery usage.Actual throughput seems good but I have had to effectively stop using the 5Ghz band for now until Netgear issue an update to address the connection issues.
It makes me lag on my Xbox and wouldn't be able to stream Netflix. Since this is a tri-band router, that means it broadcasts 3 SSIDs. I gave everyone access to the weaker Wi-Fi signal of 600mbps and kept the other 2 1200mbps SSIDs to myself and close friends.I would recommend this router to anyone with a large house and to gamers.
But I will summarize some of the things I feel are a great asset while I tested the device. The tri-band WIFI with Beamforming technology and the high powered amplifiers made sure that I did not lose connection. Every device I have was able to connect reliably and solidly even in the farthest areas of my multi-level home. WIFI speeds were consistent throughout my tests and normal usage.
Netgear describes this router as tri-band because it was 1 2.4ghz signal and 2 5ghz signals. Let's nice but inadequate. Why do I say that? Take a good look around your own home, how much equipment do you have that is 2.4ghz versus 5ghz. All my devices are pretty new and while my tablets/smartphones can connect at 5ghz, the devices really pounding the network (my media streamers and consoles) can only connect at 2.4ghz.
I cannot see download/upload speed as I did on RT-AC66U. I just could not find it anywhere.4) Cannot disable WPS completely, although this does not concerns as far as WPS PIN can be turned off.Reliability Update:It's not reliable at all I must say. After updated to latest version firmware - V1.0.0.90_1.0.39.
What's needed is a quad-band router with 2 2.4ghz signals and 2 5ghz signals. That would be progress.So, at this time, I can't endorse this router. Netgear has a lot of hard work in front of them to get this straightened out. How long will this take? Let's see how quick Netgear can respond.Lastly, it was implied with the R7000 router that Netgear might add VPN connectivity for Android directly. I'm still waiting.
Answer: There is no such thing as a triband adapter. The router has 2 5Ghz radios and one 2.4Ghz radio. You want a dual band ac or n adapter (5Ghz and 2.4Ghz).The reason it is advertised as triband is because, it balances the load on the 5Ghz band between the two 5Ghz radios. If you have a mix of 5Ghz n and ac devices, the router will separate them on to different radios so the "n" devices don't slow down the "ac" devices, for all this to happen make sure "Smart Connect" is enabled. If smart connect is disabled you can still do the same thing manually.
