Great Wi-Fi performance, I was able to get 5Ghz throughput speed in my home as well as a few feet around my home. At 10 and 20 feet away from my home the Netgear’s R6700 Nighthawk router performed better than the first two routers I bought(which I had to return at the store, Its a long story).

The cooling of the router seems to be much better even with 8 gadgets (4 phones, 2 tablets, one game system  and a laptop streaming Movies and playing video games.
