s1rtoast Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 This might seem redundant but I was thinking about getting a nighthawk to go along with my setup. Currently I have my Verizon router going to my netduma. Would there be any benefit at all of incoporating a nighthawk in between the two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex49H Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 The Nighthawk is great for your other devices it is a great wireless router. Cranium can expand on this router. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PharmDawgg Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 I can only see a few reasons why you would want to get It. 1. For wireless devices that support 5 GHz 2. For wireless devices the support AC wireless. 3. To expand coverage. But I wouldn't literally put it in between the two I would do modem> Netduma> nighthawk.

s1rtoast Posted July 4, 2015 Author Share Posted July 4, 2015 I should also add that I have several access points around my house too. The access points support 2.4 and 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iAmMoDBoX Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 I should also add that I have several access points around my house too. The access points support 2.4 and 5 What would be the purpose of getting it? Right now I have my setup as modem>R1>TP-LINK Archer C7 (access point mode) just for the 5ghz AC wifi http://www.amazon.com/TP-LINK-Archer-C7-Wireless-1300Mbps/dp/B00BUSDVBQ/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?ie=UTF8 The C7 is just as good as the nighthawk as far as features and wifi speed/coverage goes at 1/3 the price. Mine was 69.99 at the time. If you wanted the faster cpu in it then go with the C9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s1rtoast Posted July 5, 2015 Author Share Posted July 5, 2015 I'm not sure why I would get it, i only want to know if there would be any benefit to get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iAmMoDBoX Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 I'm not sure why I would get it, i only want to know if there would be any benefit to get it Besides using the faster wifi (which can be achieved for much cheaper than a nighthawk), no.

lukasz Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Yebs thats even more relevant when the new update will rool out http://wiki.netduma.com/doku.php?id=next_upgrade_features Then the only thinkg u will have out of it ist higher wifi. Like for now duma suports only like 120 + speeds so i coyld see the biges reason for keeping routers like night for that. Way bigger internet speed. Like if you have 200 300 mb then yes i would say go for it but soon that will change and r1 can be used as a primary router. And then if you wont just get something that habe nice 5gh coverage if you need that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted July 6, 2015 Administrators Share Posted July 6, 2015 I'm fairly sure it only offers great wifi and doesn't have any other features dedicated to gaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
