Telstra TG799vac VS NetGear(Fail) XR500
Posted: Sat Jan 09, 2021 11:39 pm
Today i jumped on the 1000/50 Launtel speed plan today to see how Telstra TG799vac (11years old current 12 yrs old modem/router) stood up against Netgear xr500 purchased late in 2018 and the results are interesting
Let's start off with my Asus 68u of close to 1 year shat itself pretty much gave me the middle finger and died
R.I.P Asus RT68u you didn't even last a year or close to it
Telstra TG799vac results first - Launtel Sydney Server then Telstra Sydney Server in that order in all my shots
Now for Netgear XR500 Gaming router
Before speedtest i made sure i was using the latest firmware version to date
Poor Performance, i did have issues such as this below
So i thought ok i'll try the Beta firmware and to see if anything changed
Nope still terrible can't even get above 400Mbps that's disappointing cause sometimes i like to switch to 400/50
Now little did i know that this new Beta version still kicks people off lan connections at first i didn't believe it noted here over at the netgear community
Look at my connection drop
Seems people were right NetGear is a piece of crap and most likely only have 1 person working on the software cause its been happening even prior to the beta
So My 11-12 years old Telstra TG799vac out performs a router build for gamers and still new from 2018 onwards is just insane crazy
I'm never buying a netgear ever again
