After spending over 100 hours testing 18 routers, we think the Netgear R7000P is the best wireless router for most people. It’s fast and reliable at both short and long ranges, it balances the demands of connected devices automatically to avoid congestion, and it works well right out of the box, with no arcane tweaking required.
Netgear’s R7000P is a dual-band, three-stream 802.11ac router with simple, functional, load-balancing band steering, which minimizes frustration by automatically distributing your connected devices between the router’s two wireless bands. That means right out of the box it will work better than any router you’ve ever had, and you’ll never have to decide which band to connect to.
The R7000P features noticeably longer range than previous Nighthawk routers on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, and its full-featured Web interface is easy for novice and expert users alike. Add in the simple setup and powerful band steering, and it’s the best router for most people.
