I have Time Warner turbo broadband, so my internet speeds are limited to download of 20.0 Mbps and upload of 2.0 Mbps. Using a Linksys EA6350 router (dual band and AC capable), I can obtain slightly above those speeds on a regular basis on my other devices and specifically on a Rosewill N adapter that the WF2190 was bought to replace.

Unfortunately the Netis WF2190 would not stay connected to the 5.0 Ghz band and the download speeds on the 2.4 Ghz band were less than half of what I was obtaining using the Rosewill N adapter (although the upload speeds were about the same). My network connection also dropped from a decent 144.5 to a poor 58.0 Mbps. There was a loss in the signal strength as well, even though the router position and the adapter positions were nearly identical.

I tried using the Linksys adapter in both 3.0 USB and 2.0 USB ports on the same PC with the identical results. I tested the USB ports to be sure they weren't the source of the problem and even if they were, there is no reason for the speeds to be dramatically lower than a N band devices speeds using the same 2.0 port. I even tested it on second PC that had very similar results as well.

Amazon was quick to respond and grant my request for a refund. Ive ordered a PCIe adapter with the hopes of getting most out of my Ac speed router.

This review is on the GS205 5-Ports Gigabit Switch.. At the time of this review there is some wrong information posted on Amazon.com since the GS205 is listed as a 10/100 Mbps Port-8. The device should also have been the FS205), so full disclaimer this is not a review on the slower FS205.

The box provides you with the switch and a power supply. Note: normally I get one small Cat/5 cable with these devices, but not in this case. So make sure you have one, or you should order one at the same time.

The switch is a white plastic device, and as I nowadays expect from a switch, it should just connect without the need to figure out what the uplink and down link port is. This it did flawlessly. I had my windows 7 machine connected to my home network, pulled out the cat/5 from the wall, plugged the switch into the wall and connected the computer cable. Without having to reboot, the computer re-initialized the connection and we were good to go.

- Internet: When I did an internet speed test, the connection stayed roughly the same. The direct connection with my PC allowed for internet speeds of ~60 Mbps Adding the switch in between, the continuous rate stayed around 60 Mbps. This is very unscientific, since there are many factors that can impact the speed, but good enough for me.

- Streaming from local NAS: It allowed me to stream movies from a local NAS to 2 laptops and one Desktop without interruption.

- Network writing: The real disappointing side was when I tried to copy some large files to my QNAP NAS. 42.6 GB worth of data in 12 files. The consistent  performance without the switch was around 90 MB/s, with the switch it dropped to 50-70 MB/Sec.
Note: I did switch out cables to ensure it was not cable related since my first tests were even worse.

A few additional remarks:
- there are no holes to attach this unit to the wall. But some 3M Command stickers would do well since the bottom is smooth.
- The power supply is very large for the power it needs to supply, but it is side facing so you can stick something underneath it in the socket. However, when using "space saving power strips", where the socket holes are horizontal, you may need to put it on the top or bottom, which was my case. The power supply is 4 inches long (with part of the power cord before you can bend and 1.6 inches high.

Because of the significant slowdown in large file copying, I am only giving this a three star, since that is very important in today's media environment.

I purchased this because it advertised gigabit connection speed.  I did not get this speed at all!  only 100mbps max.  I also tested it in my network that connects at Gigabit speed and it did not perform.

Make sure you get a BEFCMU10 v3 ***NOT*** the v2.  There is a well-document problem with the v2 units below a certain firmware level, and Linksys refuses to acknowledge the problem.  Search for "BEFCMU10 lockup" in your favorite search engine.  Worse, since it's a DOCSIS cable modem, it has to receive updates from your cable provider and many of them refuse to acknowledge this, telling you to talk to the hardware vendor.

This unit works well unless you exceed some traffic threshold.  If you use this unit with a broadband router and have multiple computers in your house, you use peer-to-peer file sharing programs, you try to download email while updating your computer, etc., the modem will lock up and need to be rebooted.

Some posters online have been able to get both Linksys and their cable provider to coorperate and get them the updated firmware, but many others can't.  I got my cable provider to acknowledge that they needed to provide me with the firmware, but Linksys refused to acknowledge there was a problem, even when pointing out online accounts of this problem and them successfully getting updates.

I am unable to get speeds better than 10 mbps despite the fact that my cable modem is delivering data at speeds upwards of 50 mbps. It is pretty simple to find a channel that is unused in my area, so that is not the problem. After waiting for 45 mins to get through to Netgear "support", I am done with this router. I guess I will bite the bullet and shell out for something more expensive, this does not cut it for me.

I have a cable modem download speed of over 2MB/sec, but on this router I get about 60kb/sec.  I will probably end up buying a completely new router of higher quality.

Product: ARRIS SURFboard SB6183 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem (owned for about 1.5 months).

Pros: I saw a drastic speed increase when I replaced my Motorola SURFboard DOCSIS 2.0 with the ARRIS SURFboard SB6183 DOCSIS 3.0 (DOCSIS 2.0: 25 Mbps DL vs. DOCSIS 3.0: 95 Mbps DL).  The SB6183 was easy to install/configure.

Cons: The ARRIS SURFboard SB6183 DOCSIS 3.0 speed/bandwidth degrades over the course of several days.  Over the course of about five  nine days the download and upload speeds start to drop significantly (DL drops to ~5 Mbps.).  I have to power cycle the modem about every seven days in order to resolve the bandwidth issue.  After power cycling the modem, the speed is back to the expected rates (~95 Mbps down).  I didn't have this issue with my Motorola SURFboard DOCSIS 2.0 modem.

at this price point, you'd think this cable would be capable of USB3.0 (5gbps) data transfer speeds, but it's not. all of their cables are designed and built only at USB2.0 (480mbps) spec. i didn't see the data transfer spec of these cables because it's not listed; i wrongfully assumed they were capable of USB3.0 speed. my experience was confirmed long after purchase when i found it in the Q&A section where someone previously had asked. it's rather unfortunate as these are one of only a handful of cables i could find that are designed for durability and feature a right angled plug.

all 4 cables (2x USB-A to Type-C and 2x USB-A to Micro-B) i bought are now at the bottom of my messenger bags as backup charging cables.

If the specs in the description are accurate, this is flat out misleading/fraudulent.  Cat6 cabling goes up to 10 Gigabits, not 1.  At least until you get to a very long cable (about 164 feet). I don't understand how Amazon can put their name on this marketing.

Used on my desktop but was unable to get any decent downstream speeds, even at maximum signal strength. Tried both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands and both had abysmal speeds of 1-2mbps download. Other wireless devices in my house reach 70mbps. Decided to just buy 100ft ethernet cable instead.

I recently upgraded my 6Mbps internet service with Cox to 10Mbps, and was dismayed to find that my max downstream throughput was no higher than 5.8Mbps. Decided it was time to refresh my network attach infrastructure, which consisted of a Belkin N1 Router and Toshiba PCX2200 cable modem (DOCSIS 1.0). Switched to an Apple Airport Extreme router and the Motorola SB5101 modem. WHAM!!! Speed test results on [...] jumped to 19.7Mbps! Zero problems installing, and holds the cable signal tighter than a pit bull. AAAA++++

To start, I received this router for free as a part of the Netgear Friends and Family review program.

Now, I'm comparing the Netgear AC750 (R6050) to my own purchased Netgear WNR2000 that I've been running successfully for the better part of 4 years on cable broadband service.  I began by testing my download and upload speeds with the WNR2000 over my 100MB cable broadband connection with no other systems connected, swapped in the new R6050 and the results are below (all values are in MB/s down (D) and up (U)).

Test....................iPhone6-wifi (WNR2000) [R6050]..........MBP-wifi (WNR2000) [R6050]..........MBP-ethernet (WNR2000) [R6050]
SpeedOf.me........(21.7 D/11.4 U) [91.3 D/8.45 U]...........(64.1 D/10.3 U) [71.8 D/11.5 U]...........(84.9 D/11.5 U )[70.3 D*/11.4 U]
TestMy.net............(22.8 D/9.8 U) [99.6 D/9.8 U]..............(78.0 D/9.8 U )[104.6 D/10.0 U].............(92.9 D/10 U) [103.4 D/9.9 U]
Ookla...................(31.5 D/10.8 U) [96.9 D/10.8 U]...........(82.7 D/11.1 U) [107.1 D/11.0 U].........(93.9 D/10.8 U )[107.3 D/10.1 U]

After I had the R6050 up and running and all of my wired devices connected, I also ran the network test on my Xbox One and received the following: 105.15 down, 9.52 up with 77 ms ping and 0% packet loss.

As you can see by the above, the speed of the gigabit Ethernet ports and the improved wifi technology is worth the investment alone.  I've had this router up and running for a little over a week with no issues related to connectivity, signal loss, overheating, etc.  It works exactly as you would expect - plug it in, set up your wireless networks through the web interface and forget about it.

The only negative I've found with the R6050 is the size of the device and the power adapter.  As you can see in the images attached, this router is a good bit larger than my old WNR2000 and takes up substantial real estate in a prime location of my entertainment console, mainly because it must lay flat and because of the three (detachable) antennae.  The power adapter is poorly designed with respect to the transformer location.  My WNR2000 has a standard plug that leads to a transformer where as the R6050 has the transformer built into the plug so that you may have issues fitting other plugs next to it on a surge protector.

All in all, I've found the Netgear R6050 to be a substantial improvement over the WNR2000, but I do think it could use some tweaks in the size of the unit itself and the power adapter.

I don't know why but is giving me less connection speed than my old tplink adapter I was replacing for :-s I have 90 Mbps with my tplink adapter on my 100 Mbps service plan, and these piece of shi t is only getting 30 Mbps

This cable would not run at 1gbps only 100mbps. It could be because it was ran alongside a TV cable wire so I moved up to cat6 and im now pulling 1gbps

While being advertised as a 150Mbps USB Wireless adapter, I never got anywhere near that.  Which is to be expected, to a degree.  Given ISP limitations, wireless interference, distance/obstructions between device and router, etc...you will almost NEVER get the advertised speed of a WiFi device.

That being said, while using this adapter, I felt like I was back in 1997 on an AOL dial-up connection.  A quick speed test showed I was getting 0.5Mbps download speeds.  1/300th of what the advertised download speeds could be.  That is absolutely appalling.

Here's the kicker.  I bought one of these from Newegg in 2015.  Same brand, same model.  I plugged that one in, and I can get up to 10Mbps without a problem.  Now, since they're the same product, you'd expect them to use the same drivers, right?  Wrong.  This did not recognize the driver that I've been using for a few years without issue on the adapter I bought in 2015.  Either this device is defective, or the product has changed in the past 2 years (if the latter is true, Rosewill....Update the model information on the packaging...this is not Ver: 1.0 anymore).

Having been a Linksys customer for many years, I upgraded my router in late 2013.  Throughput is horrible and cannot keep up with the cable modem with a wired connection.  My old Linksys router offers better performance so I put that back on.

Customer service was less than useless. I was informed that my router, only 8 months old was not supported but they would look into it since it looked like a hardware problem.

The service rep proceeded to troubleshoot the wireless even after I informed them it was poor performance with a wired connection.  Only thing offered was to reflash to current firmware, still no resolution.

Everyone of my past routers has been a Linksys.  I am extremely disappointed at how far Linksys has fallen.

I have wasted my money and Linksys has lost a loyal customer.
