Anyone else recently upgrade your cable modem and Internet plan for a BIG speed increase?

[QUOTE="GT Premi, post: 15707320, member: 121775"] That "hack" wasn't really a hack. It was people not properly securing their routers on their own. Netgear issued a firmware upgrade for it a week or two after it was reported. I think for most cases a high end router is unnecessary. However, they do have a place in the market. Higher end routers also have longer range. We had (and still have as a backup) a Netgear N900 router. It's a freakin' fantastic router, but it's not able to provide strong coverage to our whole house. Instead of adding a bunch of repeaters all over the place, I opted to upgrade to the Netgear Nighthawk X6S R8000 router. It provides strong coverage throughout the house and [i]some of[/i] the outside. We used to have coverage out to the pool area, but we had new windows installed, and I believe the aluminum oxide coating on the glass interferes with the wifi signal now. Anyway, if you have a large house, a high end router is the way to go, unless you want repeaters all over the house. [/QUOTE]
