Two of six Gigabit Ethernet ports can be aggregated to double the connection speed to a Network Attached Storage device for 4K HD streaming or fast backups of multiple WiFi devices simultaneously. The Netgear R8500 ended up sucking more juice from our wall socket than we’ve ever seen from any other router, with its idle power consumption topping that of the AC3200 routers under full load.
Six Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports allow you to connect even more wired devices. This allows the router to receive cleaner and stronger signals from your mobile devices, avoiding signal degradation between the antennas and motherboard. Does the R8500 support WDS or repeating function Due to security concerns with WDS, the R8500 does not support this feature.

Auto upgrade will check for the latest firmware on the NETGEAR web site every time you log into the router. These Active Antennas help improve WiFi performance by amplifying signal in the antenna itself. In addition, the router user interface also supports auto firmware upgrade. Netgear moved the WiFi amplifiers from their usual location, on the router's motherboard, to the top of the antennas. Dynamic QoS identifies your online activities by application and device, and then utilizes bandwidth allocation, and traffic prioritization techniques, to automatically allocate more bandwidth to latency sensitive applications like online gaming and video streaming, while ensuring that lower priority applications continue to work. Load balancing prevents overloading a single 5 GHz band and ensures that both the WiFi bands are utilized and device connections are spread across the two bands.ĭynamic QoS resolves Internet traffic congestion when you have competing Internet demands at home. Find setup help, user guides, product information, firmware, and troubleshooting for your Nighthawk X8 R8500 on our official NETGEAR Support site today. The router uses load balancing to distribute WiFi connections among all three WiFi bands, to ensure that both the WiFi bands are utilized. X8 uses Smart Connect to optimize WiFi performance by intelligently assigning every device to the fastest WiFi band possible and doing so allows devices to connect at their maximum speed.
The Nighthawk X8 AC5300 Smart WiFi Router with Tri-Band WiFi technology delivers a combined wireless speed of up to 5.3Gbps (1000 + 2166 + 2166 Mbps).
