Amazon's AI Overlord clearly decided it was time for me to move the Nighthawk X4S from Wish List to Cart so the price dropped $30.00 this morning. This should be here on Tuesday so I will post back with my thoughts: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0192911RA/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I35C59RN38QEEV&colid=2ZWW5EDCUMJJA">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0192911RA/_e ...

The Netgear router that my ISP gave me is throttling our 600meg connection hard. I get 450 at best hardwired through the PS or if I hardwire a laptop..wireless I usually average about 250 down / 250-300 up. About a month ago it also started forcing me into NAT Type 3 on PS which has caused some chat party issues and difficulty teaming up occasionally. The X4S is supposed to be "the best" for gaming and for pretty much any normal residential user so we'll see if it lives up.
I also tried out Amazon's trade in program for the first time with my old TP-LINK router that sat on Craigslist for a few weeks with no bites. In the condition it's in the offer was $25.13, which was only like $15 off from what I had it listed for on CL. We'll see if they "grade" it the same that I do.
