Customer Review

I ordered this router because of the good test results in the WLAN area.

On the resembles a stealth bomber - successful - form other users are already repeatedly received.

As already wrote other buyers, you have to turn very tightly the antenna, when touched, they fold away easily, but with a lot of this feeling, otherwise the thread can easily be overtightened.

Moreover sits the "left" - seen from the front - antenna too close to the power supply socket, so that a tightening in the plug inserted a fumbling is.

Now the router: The Wizards are thoughtful, but not enough to match the levels of the router from AVM.
Annoying is that restarts after every change of the router - that's because the equipment better with a dual-core processor.

Also with me is the surface of the web interface hung up several times - the firmware is not mature even in the latest version 3.1.68.

The generated wireless values ​​are truly phenomenal - readings prove it.

Which is a shame: Still (ie can be used that also channels 48) is missing for Germany DFS certification.

In itself, nothing bad, but the R7000 has been connected to a Fritz box that serves as a "modem" - the R7000 is delivered without modem.

So I disabled the WLAN of the Fritz box and just let the WLAN of R7000 active because I wanted to use this as a "base station".

Result: Despite dozens Einstellversuche in 5GHz range, it was impossible for me to turn another Fritz box as Repeater behind the R 7000.

I can only guess that the AVM repeater with auto channel in the 5 GHz-band channels 48 selects which (still) can not use the R7000.

So I was forced again to use a Fritz box as a base station in order for the R7000 was unnecessary.

Also, the AVM Support could not answer me, why does not my question.

Here's a quote from the really very nice Amazon - Netgear - Support from 21.01.2014 (note the time!):

"Good day everybody,

DFS support is mid-April via integrated firmware in the router. Until then, we still ask for your patience. "

Now we have already in mid-September, the promised firmware update is still missing.

At my request a few days ago to the Amazon Netgear support I received the answer that the certification should be completed in September.

Then I can not leave me - with the current firmware of the router for me is useless and will be returned to Amazon.
