The Nighthawk X4 got faster, but so did the Asus RT-AC87U to retain its top-dog position.

Powerful and expensive, but disappointing overall

The Netgear Nighthawk X4 AC2350 Smart Wi-Fi R7500 Router's powerful hardware doesn't translate into the performance you'd expect from its high price tag. Here's CNET's full review.

Netgear R7500 Nighthawk X4 Smart WiFi Router AC2350 [Review]

For many of us, connecting to the Internet is life. While technically not as important as drinking water or breathing oxygen, being connected can feel that way sometimes. It is for this reason that I am often perplexed that people choose to skimp on their router. Look, I like a good deal just as much as the next guy, but why wouldn't you go for the best you can get when it comes to something you do every day, such as connect the Internet? Is it really worth saving $20 if your connection is constantly dropping?
