  • Using the Download Link below, download and extract the new firmware to a convenient place such as your desktop.
  • Write down all the settings which you changed from the default values, since you may need to reenter them manually.
  • Please perform firmware upgrade with “wired” or Ethernet connection only. Up to 5.3Gbps speed, Tri-band WiFi, Quad stream with four data streams per WiFi band, Active antennas, six ethernet ports (two of which can be aggregated for a Network Storage unit), MIMO WiFi and Quality of Service by application and device are all the features you’d ever likely want in a router.įor a family with devices streaming TV, gaming, stored movies and any other number of applications chewing up your internet – the only way to get the most from your internet is to invest in the device that can actually deliver across your home – the Netgear Nighthawk X8 AC5300 Tri-Band WiFi Router – R8500 – is that very device.Note: Do not upgrade the firmware using a wireless connection. That’s really the only downside of this impressive beast. There are a bunch of features on this router that help justify the $699 price tag, but it’s still a hefty price for the average home. That’s how far WiFi technology has come in just two years. This is the best coverage we’ve had – those furthest rooms have often been a mid-range signal area – in fact just two years ago when we moved here we had a WiFi range extender in the middle to give better coverage up there. Even in the furthest bedroom of the home upstairs – the opposite end of the home. Despite this – “great” coverage all over. Our two-story layout is not uncommon for many, but I’ve also done the worst thing possible and placed our internet connection and WiFi router in the bottom corner of the home. Now, I’m not saying we’ve got a massive house, but it’s certainly not small. This is a cool little tool that gives you an instant coverage report, but perhaps better still you can draw a floorplan of your home and do tests throughout to give you a heat-map of WiFi signal strength. I downloaded Telstra’s “ WiFi Maximiser” app. Netgear has a WiFi coverage app, but I wanted to look for a coverage report using an independent App. While it’s great to look at – with light-up tips of each of the antennas there is genuine performance benefits.Ĭombined with the tri-band WiFi networks this router has given my entire home a boost in WiFi coverage. This means the router is receiving a much cleaner and stronger signal right from the get-go, reducing signal degradation in the space between the antenna and motherboard. The R8500 flips that on its head, with the amplifier located at the top of the antenna. On routers until now the amplifier of the WiFi signal sat on the motherboard of the router with a cable running up the antenna. The WiFi settings are on the label on the router. Because the router automatically uses WiFi security, you don’t need to set it up.

    These are “industry first” “Active Antennas”. The preassigned WiFi network name (SSID) and password (network key) are unique to your router, like a serial number. When I first saw the R8500 at CES in January I was impressed by the antenna technology.

    I chose to mount this one on the wall to allow me to free up desk space, and point the antenna in more specific directions around my home. After a couple of years of stealth like designs with six or more antenna’s the R8500 is quite a stylish device from a design perspective. This R8500 from Netgear is a while new look for the company, heading back to a more traditional “box” look with a nice swirled design on the front/top.
