We have a GS108Ev3 and a Nighthawk X6 R8000.

GS108Ev3 has this famous 80-port 10Mbps issue, completely useless.

Today our X6 R8000 broke down. I factory reset it, then the 192.168.1.1 web page keeps redir to https://www.routerlogin.com/start.htm, which is 404. now it is a electricity wasting brick. hopeless crap.

​

I’ll fire any employee buys netgear again.

Netgear dumb commercial switches are good.

That’s where it begins and ends with them. Their Soho is shit. Has been for the last decade.

Last Soho I bought of theirs, a simple reboot would drop the configs 80% of the time.

The router after that was a tp link, it was good enough, def a step up from Netgear, but not great.

I ended up going mikrotik. Super solid, always updated, but man is it intense to learn. Would never recommend for a newbie to networking.
