The editors liked
The all-new Netgear R8000 Nighthawk X6 AC3200 Tri-Band Gigabit Wireless Router has powerful hardware and excellent Wi-Fi data rates on the 5Ghz frequency band. When coupled with an external hard drive
The router also functions as a robust NAS server
The editors didn't like
The router has a buggy 2.4Ghz band and comparatively short Wi-Fi range
