Review of Netgear Nighthawk Router AC1900 - Best in Class Router

The last time I purchased a Netgear router was back in early 2015.   Since then, I've upgraded my

Netgear Nighthawk Router AC1900

modem to a Netgear DOCSIS 3.0 eBlast which allowed me to take advantage of Xfinity's 250MG downstream speeds.   Last week I noticed that my current Netgear router N750 was lagging then flat-lined completely leaving us to completely rely on our Verizon Data package which was pushed past capacity causing overage fees.

I checked CNET for router reviews and quickly narrowed it down the field to the Netgear AC1900 and the more expensive AC5300-AC5300 Nighthawk X8 Tri-Band WiFi Router.    After comparing the features, I quickly realized we didn't need the tri-band based on our usuage.   We're not gamers and we only have a max of 12 devices so I purchased the AC1900.

I've got to say this was one of the best OBE - Out of Box Experiences  I've had in a long time.    Setup and configuration was a breeze for this best-in-class consumer router.

The AC1900 takes advantage of all the downstream speed Xfinity puts out.   On a hardwire connection my main machine connects at 250MB+ download.   On wifi anywhere in the house we connect at 50MB+ downloads which is 10x faster than the older N750.

Have you tried a digital pen?

I take a ton of notes during the work day which is great for going back to validate what someone said

two months ago.   What if at the same time you notebook is digitized at the same time.   Now you can with Livescribe Pens.   Their new pen converts everything you write into a digital note so you have it whenever you need it.   Say goodbye to digging through piles of old notebooks to find a fact. Now you can just query your digital notes.   Check out the latest LiveScribe Pens.

We replaced our old cisco cable modem and what a difference.   This has multiple channels to take advantage of Xfinity eBlast service.

I highly recommend this modem it's worth the extra $75.
