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.

The Netgear XR500 router supports the latest wireless standard, 802.11ac Wi-Fi, which offers improved speed, reliability, and efficiency compared to its predecessor, 802.11n. It also supports dual-band technology, operating on both 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz frequencies, which helps to reduce interference and ensure smooth gaming experiences. With the router's Quality of Service (QoS) feature, you can prioritize gaming traffic over other types of internet traffic, ensuring low-latency, high-speed connections for your gaming needs.The Netgear XR500 router comes with one WAN port, four LAN ports, and USB ports, providing you with plenty of options to connect your devices. It also supports Ethernet standard 10/100/1000, which provides fast and reliable wired connections for devices that require a stable internet connection. The router's WPA and WPA2-PSK encryption ensures that your internet connection is secure and protected from potential hackers and cyber-attacks.
