Rusty Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 I use a Draytek 2830, Xirrus XR620 & Netgear GS716Tv3 with the Superhub in modem mode. The Nighthawk will be an improvement for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakdos Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 I use asus rt-AC 87u with VM. VM router in modem mode. Only had 1 disconnect in 3 months whereas using VM router it was 4 times per week. Great piece of kit and well worth the money. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
