Noob buyer


Recommended Posts

Hey im a newbie I am looking to buy a nighthawk rx500  but I have read reports I may need to buy an netgear 7000 nighthawk to run the rx500 as my isp is virgin media. (Superhub3)

 Some are saying I do some are saying I don't.

Or is it just simple for me to buy a netduma r1?

And can you run the set up without having a ethernet port on a laptop?

Many thanks.

You can put the superhub 3 into modem only mode of its nearest equivalent and use the XR500, no need to buy a R7000 which is much older hardware.
