While it’s great to look at – with light-up tips of each of the antennas there is genuine performance benefits.Ĭombined with the tri-band WiFi networks this router has given my entire home a boost in WiFi coverage. This means the router is receiving a much cleaner and stronger signal right from the get-go, reducing signal degradation in the space between the antenna and motherboard. The R8500 flips that on its head, with the amplifier located at the top of the antenna. On routers until now the amplifier of the WiFi signal sat on the motherboard of the router with a cable running up the antenna. These are “industry first” “Active Antennas”. When I first saw the R8500 at CES in January I was impressed by the antenna technology. I chose to mount this one on the wall to allow me to free up desk space, and point the antenna in more specific directions around my home. After a couple of years of stealth like designs with six or more antenna’s the R8500 is quite a stylish device from a design perspective. This R8500 from Netgear is a while new look for the company, heading back to a more traditional “box” look with a nice swirled design on the front/top.
