Now home routers are basically wireless routers, remember that before is an antenna, now the most basic are two antennas, a good point is the three antennas, basically downstairs you can receive the signal!
This small fox will introduce to you a super-four-antenna router: Net-ware "Nighthawk" X8 R8500, this router is a fool when it comes to hand, it was frightened, this packaging is too big!
When I saw the package, I was drunk and I was going to get it. Did my student who had graduated for many years started to learn English? Haha
Fortunately, I still have the foundation to see this English without a word.
With the development of science and technology, more and more digital products are now equipped with WIFI functions, such as refrigerator televisions, computer notebooks, small desk lamps, light bulbs, and SD cards, all with WiFi links.
However, with the increase of available products, problems have come one after another. In particular, the wireless transmission and reception capabilities of various products are different. The biggest problem is the poor signal quality of WIFI. This WIFI is also my deepest experience.
Router manufacturers in order to enhance the signal of the router, but also took the next step, came up with a variety of ways to increase the number of antennas, powerful launch power, increase the antenna gain, etc., net parts "night hawk" X8 R8500 is to do so : Power on the antenna.
Here comes the highlight: Unpacking!
Come and let me pull the list first:
Router host, power adapter, network cable, manual, box. In addition to this somewhat powerful router itself, I think the most attractive to me is this cable: it's too thick! The cable quality and transmission speed have a lot to do with the cable thickness, so I think this is very good with the cable: 1000M cable!
Let's take a look at its configuration: Nighthawk X8 R8500 uses the Broadcom solution (according to the netware introduction, it was developed by Netware and Broadcom), a 1.4GHz dual-core processor and 512MB of memory. The X8 AC5300 has 8 built-in antennas (4 built-in, 4 external, as detailed below), a maximum bandwidth of 5300 Mbps, supports MU-MIMO Wave2 technology, a Gigabit WAN port, and six Gigabit LAN ports, two of which are LAN ports can also be aggregated, and the expansion interface includes a USB 2.0 and a USB 3.0 interface.
Let's analyze the appearance of Nighthawk X8 R8500: In addition to the four antennas, let's take a look at the interface and design on the body:
Power jack, switch key, reset reset key, because the fuselage is relatively large, so these interfaces are also open and close, but it is more convenient to touch.
The NETGEAR “Nighthawk” X8 R8500 is equipped with six network cable sockets. The network cable interface is more reasonable. The network widget “Nighthawk” X8 R8500 increases the network interface to 7, which is more suitable for ordinary home users. There are no more than five interfaces, plus one study room for six. The WAN port must be reserved for the network. Seven ports are just fine. At present, the vast majority of routes generally use five, three-style halls are not enough to use ah, this is to make the home security switch rhythm? In particular, now that televisions are smart TVs, the demand for network interfaces has soared. Therefore, the R8500 network cable interface design has become more reasonable.
The side of the fuselage is equipped with two USB sockets: a USB 3.0 interface and a USB 2.0, which can be used as a "data sharing center" in an external U disk and hard disk.
There is no socket on the other side.
Nighthawk X8 R8500 wireless router front panel is very simple, on the left for the logo of the net, the right is the three buttons are: LED light switch, WPS, WIFI switch.
The nighthawk X8 R8500 wireless router has a wavy design on the front, and it can't be seen when looking straight ahead. The entire front is full of bar-shaped cooling holes to ensure that the router's heat is quickly presented.
At the same time, the routers are arranged on the left and the bottom of the router to switch the various functions of the LED indicator. In the case of power on, the led lamp will light up.
Let's take a look at the various LED indicator lights of the NETGEAR Nighthawk X8 R8500 wireless router. From the top down, they are: power supply, external network, 2.4G, 5G1, 5G2, USB 3.0, USB 2.0, and internal network 1-6 interfaces ( Among them, 1 and 2 support the link function).
After the router is properly connected to the network, the power supply, external network, 2.4G, 5G1, and 5G2 are turned on at the same time. The USB interface and the internal network interface must be inserted into the device or network cable to recognize the light. If you do not want the lights to light up, you can press the LED switch on the front panel of the router to turn it off.
Look at the back: full of bar-shaped cooling holes, four feet, and two wall holes.
After reading the appearance introduction, then we begin to do it!
After installing the power supply and taking the router to the desktop, we started switching to the Internet Nighthawk X8 R8500 wireless router.
Remove my fast three-antenna router and compare it with the NetEye Nighthawk X8 R8500 wireless router. This is simply a meeting for adults.
Install the Internet cable, connect the fiber cat, this will set it:
Enter “” on the computer browser to enter the system configuration page of the R8500. The main interface shows the status of the network connection.

Netgear Nighthawk X8 R8500 consists of three frequency bands: 2.4G, 5.2G, and 5.8G, which are visible at the settings page.
In fact, I have been interested in the two USB sockets on the router. I see that there is an easy-to-share device in the setup. I quickly got two U-disks to test.
After inserting it, two USB flash drives are displayed.
To use easy sharing, you must download a plug-in.
Well, we started using the router: Netgear Nighthawk X8 R8500 2.4G, 5.2G, 5.8G three bands are displayed, you can choose, and then join.
After the link is complete, then we can have a good time online!
In order to test the speed of the three frequency bands, I used the mobile phone to download two test speed app to run it:
As can be seen from the results, the speeds of the three frequency bands are very close to each other, indicating that the Netgether Nighthawk X8 R8500 is very stable.
Recently used this mesh nighthawk X8 R8500, the previous router is generally in the corridor down three floors there is no signal, may be too many reasons for the wall, but the net parts Nighthawk X8 R8500 can receive ah .
One day I got off work, received a call from the parking, and then picked up my cell phone and watched the headline today. I did not expect to even connect my home WiFi!
This signal is awesome! There are pictures and truth!
There is a visual distance of a hundred meters away.
Hurriedly cut a screen! Haha, using this router is so awesome, you can use it downstairs!
In summary: Nighthawk X8 R8500 also has powerful wireless transmission capabilities and large area coverage capabilities, and more devices connected at home can be well-satisfied. Larger data can also be quickly transmitted, and no more equipment. It will be crowded and there will be no signal if it is further away.
