So my Netgear Nighthawk R7000 that I've been bragging about crapped out
Posted on 3/20/17 at 9:05 pm

On me after only owning it for 16 months. Piece of crap 
Damn thing won't even hard reset with the hidden button.
Any suggestions on a new very expensive Wi-Fi router?

maybe you used a credit card that extends warranties another year?

I love mine. Can't speak for longevity though, probably only had it for 6 months.

MJ2 I bought an ASUS 88U and get signal 50 yards away lol...
Gives me every bit of my connection as well over the air.

Not nearly the most expensive. Netgear Orbi and Linksys Velop easily have it topped. I've been looking at getting one of these. Just haven't dedicated the time to figure out what's best for me or if it's truly needed.

Does the Amplifi nodes cut the bandwidth in half? I forget which one does not. Might be Amplifi or the Orbi...

Orbi has the dedicated backhaul.

I have the amplifi home mesh and its the best money on wifi I have ever spent. Cover a 2 story 3k foot home with no problem.

that's the one i ordered. I ordered just the router and one mesh point since i only have a one story home. Came to $270 for both
Posted on 3/21/17 at 12:20 pm to meauxjeaux2
I've had mine for 3 years with no hiccups 
Posted on 3/21/17 at 12:27 pm to meauxjeaux2
Not sure if you looked at reviews or how much but the biggest complaint was with the mesh points. All of the pics show them vertical but they have to be angled out at least 20° (or something like that) so they stick out away from the wall and are easily knocked out of the receptacle.

read this and the one mesh point i'm plugging in will be behind a shelf so that's a no biggie for me.

I'm at roughly 1900-2000 sq ft. or so. How far would just the router itself go? I'm in New Orleans so my house is more of a shotgun/long arse house so may put the router on 1 end and a mesh point in the middle or close to the other end.
Or would just the router cover that much space?

buy the router first. If you need an additional antenna then it isn't any more expensive to just purchase an additional one that will connect right to the base router.

Yep, think that's what I may do. One additional question is that I currently have an old Apple Time Capsule WiFi Router. Is it possible to make the Amplifi Router my main AC Wifi point and then add the Time Capsule as a bridge to that Amplifi Router?
Or can I add the Time Capsule to any other main router in bridge mode? If so, does it have to be tied together via ethernet cable?
