Pros and cons

According to our router expert

With a speed of 1,733Mbps on the 5GHz frequency band, this router is faster than comparable routers.
This router supports MU-MIMO technology, which provides a more stable wireless connection.
Beamforming ensures a longer range and a more stable WiFi signal.
This router only supports WiFi 5, so your wireless internet is less stable than with WiFi 6 if you're online with many devices at the same time.
Depending on the size of your house, this router offers coverage on 1 or 2 floors. Choose multi-room WiFi for WiFi throughout your home.

Description

The Netgear Nighthawk Pro Gaming XR500 is a router for enthusiastic gamers. You can constantly control your network in this router's extensive Gaming Dashboard, allowing you to prioritize games when necessary. You can also keep track of how much bandwidth is lost to streaming and downloads. Thanks to the powerful Dual-Core processor, your network connection remains stable. Even when all your devices are connected simultaneously or when you're organizing a LAN party. The geo-filter ensures you're always connected to a fast gaming server, so your ping stays low and you'll always have the advantage. Thanks to MU-MIMO, the router sets up a separate connection with each device, which benefits the stability of your wireless network.

Review is 10 out of 10.

A gaming router easy to use for everyone

Easy menu where everything is explained in steps
Very strong Wi-Fi connectivity
Perfect for gaming with little internet delay because it was often between 15ms and 60ms, so very good

Very satisfied and very easy to use for everyone and there is also a geo filter that ensures that you can game with people in distance that you set is standard at 2000km is best for as little delay as possible or was very useful with first person shooters how less delay the more likely you are always one step ahead

the XR500 is easy to assemble and can be configured directly via WiFi. easy to set up to your liking. although the XR500 is indicated in the mid-range, it performs as a top-of-the-range router.

Ideal gaming router!

Easy to use
Geo Filter
sleek design

This router has not won the Hardware.info Innovation award for nothing; it's the ideal gaming router! The router is a bit more expensive, but it is well worth the price. Installing is very easy, you are actually completely ready within 10 minutes and thanks to the Gaming Dashboard you can keep a close eye on what is happening within your network. Finally, the Geo Filter is really a unique function, because it allows you to prevent, for example, playing against people who live too far away during a game of FIFA. As a result, you no longer get a high ping and you can play your game of FIFA quietly without wanting to throw your controller out the window out of frustration :-)

The only drawback could be that you need 5Ghz devices to achieve the highest speed of the router, but nowadays more and more devices have this. The router is of course a dual-band router, so 2.4Ghz is no problem either. You can also combine the router with the Nighthawk S8000 Switch!
