Netgear R 7800 appears to be a superlative Internet router
The R7800 is not for the faint of heart. My meaning is that it will require some preparation and some reading. Certainly, plugging the router straight into the cable modem should work fairly well as a sort of plug-and-play device. Nevertheless, some set up will be required. Conversely, this is the superlatives advanced router that comes equipped with many advanced features that I will allow the reader to research all by themselves! I do like the on and off switch on the back! Finally, a device that one can turn off at will! For reasons that I cannot fathom, manufacturers of many varieties of in-home use Internet connected devices come without on off switch in capability. My Roku ultra device for example, has no on or off switch. I do believe this is entirely asinine! The perverted neurotic obsession to force consumers to keep devices switched on and running 24 hours per day 365 days per year is simply evil to say the very least. There is a clear intent here to undermine the ability of the consumer to control Internet connected devices. In fact, it is quite likely that net gear will probably remove the on and off switch for the back of this router perhaps for its next model release of this roter. I recommend connecting these devices to a power supply that you can easily turn off at will. Cheers and never surf the web without a safety net! In other words, a switch that will allow you to turn the damn thing off!
