which router is best?Apple vs netgear

February 6th, 2020

Hi I would like to know which is better and why.
Apple airport extreme http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Apple%26%23174%3B+-+AirPort+Extreme+Wireless+Base+Station/2969404.p?id=1218367486882&skuId=2969404&st=apple%20airport%20extreme&cp=1&lp=1
or netgear http://www.bestbuy.com/site/NETGEAR+-+RangeMax+Dual-Band+Wireless-N+Router+with+4-Port+Gigabit+Ethernet+Switch/9331403.p?id=1218089527534&skuId=9331403&st=netgear%20wndr3700\&cp=1&lp=3
They’re both dual band They both support A+B+G+N
Netgear is draft N and apple is full N I think( don’t know the difference between draft and none draft routers) but I am using a draft n router right now and getting all my promised speed so I am happy with draft n(the router I am using is this http://www.bestbuy.com/site/NETGEAR+-+Wireless-N+Router/8998506.p?id=1218007383662&skuId=8998506&st=wnr2000&cp=1&lp=1)
Netgear has DOS protection as said on there website. Unsure about apple as they don’t say. Apple has wireless printer, unsure about the netgear.
So tell me which one is better. I don’t want any other only that netgear or the apple.

Answer #1
Why are you looking at oudated routers, seems a backwards move in technology if you ask me.
Answer #2
Personally I would go for the Netgear mainly because I’ve had excellent experience with Netgear stuff in the past and still current.
If it was a choice between a �1000 NASA router and a �80 Netgear Router, I’d still probably go for the Netgear lol.
The thing with Apple is that I fear that you are paying more for the “brand”. (Coming from a person that owns plenty of Apple gear btw) And we all know that Apple products are overly expensive.
Answer #3
Netgear all day long, but support is crap !!
Answer #4
Netgear all day long, but support is crap !! Yeah support is crap on netgear. They said lifetime warranty and still want me to subscribe to some netgear gearhead thing just to get my lifetime warranty and they want to check on my computer to make sure its working right or not so I said no way I am paying for netgear gearhead when I can get a new router from them instead of paying for service that should be free.
