I don't do games** A: Yes you can. dumaOS makes it easy to setup and configure your network and router settings. The dumaOS adds a bit more to the price vs the Netgear X4S (which is the exactly the same router in terms of hardware spec). If you want to save a bit of money, go for the netgear X4S, which is also a fantastic router. Good luck. **Q: Should I buy this router or keep my x8 router** A: The X8 looks like it has more capacity. They're both mu-mimo and the x8 has 6 ports opposed to 4. One of the big reasons I bought this was the operating system (look up Netduma). So far haven't had any issues - even just watching youtube haven't had the buffering and quality issues I had just using my AC1900 modem router. If you're not having issues you may want to stay with what you got, but if you want the benefits of the dashboard and operating system, and have the money, you can give it a try, **Q: How do you compare xr500 to orbi, please?** A: The Orbi is a mesh router, designed for covering irregular, obstacle dense, or large areas with wi-fi network. Mesh router systems are expandable, meaning you can buy more units to extend your network seamlessly. If you do not need the expansion capabilities of mesh routers, a standard router such as the XR500 is more suitable. **Q: Can i run a connection from an existing router via Ethernet to it and have two routers** A: As others have said, yes you can. In my particular setup, my original router is also my modem from our fiber internet provider, so the option to directly replace it wasn’t there. I hardwired the Nighthawk to port 1 on the original router, booted it up, and configured as a secondary router. It was smart enough to see that another router existed in the network, and so assigned itself another internal IP network map of 10.0..... so as not to conflict with the original 192.168..... overall it’s an awesome router, especially with the DumaOS to configure each individual device and modify its capabilities, I highly recommend it. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ works well *by P***Y on 7 October 2020* works well ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ quick delivery and hardware as advertised *by C***U on 22 March 2024* quick delivery and hardware as advertised ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***R on 18 November 2019* I’ve tried every combo of wifi routers to meet the needs of my house, and only this one has been able to produce the goods. I’m covering nearly 3K sq ft of house, with 3 kids that use a computer for gaming plus a minimum of of 2 each additional devices/draws while doing so. I think at any given moment, I probably have no less than 15 things connected to my WiFi. This router handles it all. Basic mesh setups failed me previously due to overall bandwidth limitations, but with the hybrid mesh setup I get with this, I get a high powered gaming router and a mesh extender that can deliver in previously unreachable spots with high speed and with seamless connectivity, The DumOS software works well with the 1.7 GHz processor; it’s intuitive and able to manage your traffic nicely. Overall, it’s a little pricey , but well worth the money if you’ need to run a sustainable, high demand, Internet connection over a large area with multiple gamers and streamers. ## Frequently Bought Together - NETGEAR Nighthawk Pro Gaming XR500 Wi-Fi Router with 4 Ethernet Ports and Wireless Speeds Up to 2.6 Gbps, AC2600, Optimized for Low Ping - DbillionDa Cat8 Ethernet Cable, Outdoor&Indoor, 6FT Heavy Duty High Speed 26AWG, 2000Mhz with Gold Plated RJ45 Connector, Weatherproof F/FTP UV Resistant for Router, Modem, PC, Gaming --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/276683690-nighthawk-pro-gaming-xr500-wi-fi-router-with-4-ethernet](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/276683690-nighthawk-pro-gaming-xr500-wi-fi-router-with-4-ethernet) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
