Netgear Nighthawk R7000P technical features

Unboxing and design

Netgear R7000P is presented in a cardboard box with the company's corporate colors, on the front a high-quality image of the router stands out along with some of its most notable features, on the back all its technical specifications are detailed in various languages, including Spanish so that none of our readers miss anything when buying it.

We open the box and see the router along with all its accessories very well arranged and protected to prevent them from degrading during transport. Netgear is one of the greats and always takes care of all the details.

Netgear R7000P is a fairly advanced router that has been thought for demanding users who want a high speed connection with the best reliability. With dimensions of 285 x 184.5 x 50 mm and a weight of 750 grams, it hides excellent specifications and characteristics inside, as we will see in this exhaustive analysis.

Inside the router we find a 1 GHz dual-core processor along with 128 MB of storage and 256 MB of RAM, with this you will have no problem managing your own operating system as well as all the hardware it mounts inside.

It is a router compatible with the WiFi 802.11ac standard so that we can navigate at full speed, it is compatible with the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks as well as being able to combine them to achieve the maximum transfer rate. In the 2.4 GHz band it achieves 600 Mbps while in the 5 GHz band it achieves 1625 Mbps, by combining the two bands we achieve the theoretical maximum of 2300 Mbps. These speeds are not the highest on the market but will allow us to play and stream 4K content at 60 FPS without problems. Dynamic QoS technology prioritizes traffic in applications such as YouTube or Netflix so that you always enjoy the best speed when it comes to watching your videos.

It is also compatible with MU-MIMO technology, thanks to which it is possible to stream to several devices simultaneously and with maximum speed, in this way everyone at home can enjoy an excellent multimedia experience free of lag and without buffering times.

Coverage can be one of the problems of WiFi networks, to solve it the Netgear R7000P mounts no less than three high-performance antennas that are responsible for generating the best possible coverage throughout your home, in this way you can enjoy its high benefits in any room.

Netgear R7000P is also thinking of lovers of wired connections, for this it offers no less than five Gigabit Ethernet ports (4 LAN & 1 WAN) capable of providing the maximum transfer speed in all situations.

As we can see, two USB 3.0 ports have been installed on the back of the Netgear R7000P , these allow us to connect a storage medium such as a USB flash drive or an external hard drive, in this way we will have its content available on all devices within the home that are connected to your network, a great way to share the best content with the whole family or even friends.

Protecting the little ones in the house is very important, for this purpose the Netgear R7000P includes its advanced Circle parental control that will allow you to manage the content and schedules for each member of the family. Among its possibilities we find establishing allowed hours for each day for certain applications and certain websites. We can also restrict Internet access to a device with the push of a button. We can even manage the mobile devices of each of the family members in a very simple way.

Finally we highlight its compatibility with Amazon Alexa and the Google Assistant, something that will allow you to use voice commands to manage your Netgear R7000P in a very simple and efficient way.

Testing equipment

To make the performance measurements we will use the following components:

• 1 Client 2T2R.Pendrive USB3.0 Sandisk Extreme (approximately 200mbps read / write), formatted as NTFS.Team 1, with Intel i219v network card.Team 2, with Killer E2500 network card.JPerf version 2.0.

Wireless Performance

In this case we are lucky to have a 2T2R client and we will be able to exploit this router to the best of its ability. It is an Atheros network card that we use in one of our high-performance notebooks. The yields obtained have been the following:

• Router - Equipment in the same room: 51 MB / s Router - Equipment in the Room at 5 meters with 1 wall: 26 MB / s Router - Satellite in Room at 7 meters with 1 wall: 23 MB / s.

Firmware and configuration

We love that the Netgear Nighthwak R7000P also allows you to install your startup from your smartphone. Thanks to the NetGearUP application everything is much easier and more intuitive?

The interface is basic and intuitive, since it allows you to configure any feature of our new router. The Home section includes tabs for basic and advanced settings as well as displaying basic information about the status of the Internet connection, WiFi network, connected devices, and parental controls.

If we want something more expert, we have the advanced settings of our network. In it we can access security management with parental controls to block access to websites and some users. Additionally we can also configure it to send us an email when someone tries to access a blocked site, very useful for the most suspicious users. It also offers us advanced WiFi settings that include MU-MIMO technology management, VPN services and parental controls to limit access to the little ones in the house.

A great firmware for a great router? Although we see an important improvement: the interface should be more friendly and enter through the eyes. We see it too "classic" and that facelift can give the manufacturer one more push.

Final words and conclusion about Netgear Nighthawk R7000P

It is true that it is not the best Netgear router, but the Netgear Nighthwak R7000P is in one of the best quality / price ratios on the market. Among its features we have the AC2300 chip, Dual Core 1 GHz processor, three wifi antennas, MU-MIMO support and USB 3.0 connectivity.

It is true that its firmware is quite improvable visually, but at the level of adjustments it is very, very good. It allows us to adjust any value both in the LAN and in the Wi-Fi settings. It also allows us to adjust the parental zone and VPN services. Great job Netgear!

It is also worth noting that with the NETGEAR Up application the installation is very fast and very simple. Anyone can install their router without the need for a technician. Obviously, if there are options that do not sound familiar, you will have to search the web for what it means or can you ask us?

We recommend you read the best routers on the market

At the performance level, it has more than met what was expected. This chip is mid / high range and its performance in both the 2 GHz and 5 GHz bands is very remarkable. Obviously it is not the best on the market, but it is valid for 95% of home users.

Currently we find it for a price of 180 euros in the main online stores. Although sometimes we have seen it on offer for about 150 euros . We believe that if you know how to wait for these offers, it is a 100% recommended purchase.
