The setup is capable of using 1024 QAM (Broadcom-proprietary NitroQAM, works only with clients having Broadcom Wi-Fi receiver chipsets) to boost performance. Unlike the announcements from other vendors, the R8500 is available for purchase today.Īs a recap, the tri-band Wave 2 XStream platform integrates two 4x4 5 GHz radios (at 2.1 Gbps each) and one 4x4 2.4 GHz radio (at 1 Gbps). Today, Netgear is announcing the Nighthawk X8 (R8500) based on the second generation XStream platform. Netgear was conspicuously silent about their plans with the new platform, even though they were the first vendor to come out with a product based on XStream Gen 1 - the Nighthawk X6 (R8000). Unfortunately, none of these announcements came with a concrete ship date. Early last month, we also had Asus announcing the RT-AC5300U with the 4x4 tri-band XStream configuration. At the same time, D-Link also announced the DIR-895L AC5300 router based on that platform. At the 2015 CES, Broadcom updated their XStream product portfolio with the BCM4366, a 4x4 MU-MIMO capable radio that could work along with the BCM47094, a dual-core Cortex-A9-based network processor SoC. The first generation XStream platform used a 3x3 configuration for each band, and lacked Wave 2 features such as MU-MIMO support or 160 MHz channels. I’ve done a fair amount of research into this problem and a lot of people in the ATT and Netgear forums seem to have similar problems but no solution that I found.Broadcom's XStream platform has enjoyed quite a bit of success in the Wi-Fi router market despite its high cost. I have been struggling to get gigabit bandwidth through the R8500 and am running out of things to try. All my speed tests are done through and I’ve replaced all the necessary cables to Cat6. If I put the BGW210 in IP Passthrough mode the speeds out of the R8500 are 230/230 through LAN. But when wired directly into the BGW210-700 I easily get 900/900. I get similar numbers when wired into the LAN port of the R8500. ATT Fiber just came to our neighborhood and we upgraded to their gigabit 1000/1000 plan which has been pretty awesome so far!Ĭurrently my network goes like this: Fiber from the wall -> ATT fiber box -> ATT modem/router (BGW210-700) -> 8 port unmanaged Netgear switch (mainly using this switch to connect my pc/plex server because I can't get gig speeds out of the Nighthawk) -> Nighthawk X8 R8500 (In AP mode).Īll of my wireless devices are connected to the R8500 and I can get about 300/300 on the 5ghz R8500 network.
My family just upgraded from Comcast where we were getting 175/5, which was pretty terrible for Plex remote streaming and our plan to cut the cord. u/RoweDent created this awesome resource on network theory u/tht1kidd_ has created a suggestion post regarding information everyone needs to provide when asking a question about their network There have been some excellent guides written in this sub, and we're always looking for more!
