All I can say is wow. My R7000 is already overkill. I can't even begin to describe what this would be:

Holy crap. 802.11ad is already here. I wonder how good the range is at 60GHz. Probably won't go through a wall.

definitely looks interesting. From the AnandTech article this morning this router uses an Annapurna Labs AL-314 SoC, let's just hope it's opensource friendly and dd-wrt can be ported.

if ddwrt can be ported then i'm looking forward to seeing what type of lan <-> wan speeds ddwrt will get with this SoC. On another note the 10 Gbps sfp+ port if configurable as a wan port could be useful for FTTH setups where the ISP uses SFP GPON modules.

At the moment it's useless because there aren't devices able to use the 60GHz band (or they are really few). Anyway I've already seen the openWRT firmware for this monster: https://www.myopenrouter.com/download/openwrt-firmware-netgear-r9000-nighthawk-x10

You can only achieve higher speed when your laptop with 802.11AD can SEE the router within the same room. I think it is useless.

But, if the price is right, I mean it is more close to $200 than $500, I would definitely buy.

oh dear lord, another crappy atheros wifi with terrible opensource drivers... and R7800 SoC had so much potential...

btw, whats the deal with companies using outdated ARM cores, A15??? really?

And I thought netgear using IPQ8065 with 2 Krait cores meant they finally realised that CPU horsepower is actually needed for ppl buying high end routers

Powerful Quad-Core 1.7GHz processor & 512MB NAND flash and 1GB DDR3 SDRAM
i have a believe this is powerful....??
actually one of my clients wants to order R9000 soon but i doubt he will change the stock firmware if its stable... will see Smile

4x cortex a15 at 1.7ghz
thats a 2011 core that soc industry (at least for mobile) mostly ignored because krait wiped the floor with it

It really depends, there is not enough info available regarding the annapurna, it can be as good or even better compared to the krait:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_ARMv7-A_cores

The quad core along with 1GB RAM would be able to smoothly handle the new feature I'm currently running on my unit. I'm soon going to write a little guide on how to install and enable this feature:-)

The only feature that stood out to me that i believe Kong could port over is Plex.
That would be my guess what Kong was teasing.
Smile

Personally I would just keep the R7000 and buy the nVidia Shield for $200 which runs the Plex server very well (with latest version that fixes most issues).

Update: Netgear informed us that the SoC is the Annapurna Labs AL-314


so it's official, 4x A15 @ 1.7ghz

Now, you can pretty much ignore anything that uses DMIPS/MHz as comparison... In A15 we have a 3 wide decode, 3 wide issue, a relatively long 15-17 stages pipeline and a very timid OoO machine, on the other hand Krait has 3 wide decoder, 4 wide issue, 11 stages pipeline and a better OoO machine... Krait can extract more paralelism from intructions but can reach lower clocks, but since we're talking about 1.7ghz in both cores (R7800 vs R9000), I'd give the edge to R7800... I'm not sure if VPN and other common DDWRT workloads are multithreaded, I guess its not, so then core count is irrelevant

Anyway, I really don't get the reason SoC companies keep using such outdated cores, it's not like they can save costs reusing the same core because they have to license the IP and redesign the ASIC from scratch for each new SoC regardless...

I'm not asking to use bleeding edge, but really, if u're going for a fat core, why not an A57? If power or space were the limit, why not stick with an A53 or even A12, which are in order cores that are faster and smaller than A9s? Makes no sense to me, really

Now, the only problem with Krait/Kryo cores is that they will be necessarily paired with atheros WiFi =/

But we are not talking about a smartphone but a router.

On a router you handle multiple clients, thus you always have multithreading, besides that new kernels allow more multithreading in nat etc. so even single client systems benefit from it.

@slidermike, no plex, I don't see a real benefit compared to minidlna. I'm talking about a content filter, that can filter based via rules/image recognition/virus scanning etc.

For me it is mostly useful as parental control.
And while it runs on my R6400 in basic config it will need more power if one enables the advanced features.

I'm in, I'll test it!
