I'm using an R7800, great router, great range, excellent thoroughput. R7000 is also a good option. Wait for upcoming sales. R7000 went for 5k at Flipkart last time, which is crazy pricing. Well its just my internet guy told me to get this one. Its going for 2.2k right now, but I dont mind spending a little more cash for a better router, but do you think it worth putting in 5k? Even if its such a good price? Ill check out the your router for sure tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill check out the your router for sure tho As I said before, don't cheap out on routers man. They are your gateway to the internet, and you want it to be as smooth as possible. Ideally AC1900 and above is what you should look at. Most modern devices support MIMO, so if the router has it, you will get better thoroughput. Finally it should be able to connect to a fair number of devices considering almost every home as multiple phones, tablets, TVs etc simultaneously accessing the net. If you get r7000 for 5k, just get it. It's a very good router. Not sure if I understand the point about compatibility. For most ISPs (except Jio), you can either connect them in bridge mode, or simply connect the new router to old routers LAN port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Posted September 14, 2019 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 Okay yes the R7000 is AC1900 so that's sorted. I don't use Jio, so shouldn't be a problem. Thanks a lot for the help, I'll wait for the sales like you said and hopefully I can bag it for 5k. Its going for almost 10k right now on Amazon.

Also my old router is absolute crap, Id rather just use the new one directly, and chuck the old one out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KunjanPSD Posted September 14, 2019 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 I have been thinking about getting a new router too but Airtel needs a modem and the one they provide isn't that good. So anyone on Airtel, using some other router or modem? VDSL routers aren't that abundant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive decided to go for that Nighthawk R7000 router if I can get it in the 5k-6k price as you mentioned. FYI- Apex lags so bad right now that Ive stopped playing with my friends as Ill be dragging down the whole squad,and I frequently hear my team-mates say f*ck you when I play with randoms online. I dont blame them either. My game freezes for over 30-40 secs sometimes and FPS games dont work that way. Lag is real.

Will dm you if I find a deal, request you to do the same.It's quite well rated. Though even the 6800 is quite decent if the 7000 does not end up on sale. Though it has an inferior processor compared to the 7000Sent from my ONEPLUS A6000 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I can see the 6800 on amazon for 8k, but assuming theyre both on sale I might as well pick the 7000. Im looking at 10k for the R7000 on amazon right now, getting it for 5k would be a steal Edited September 22, 2019 by Chirag2001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
