panosm Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Hello fellows, anybody tried the new netgear switch (Nighthawk S8000) and router Nighthawk S8000? There is a lot on the net in regards to low latency and gaming performance so I was wondering if they do give a benefit. Any different in sound / picture quality when streaming? Please share your experience. kind regards Panos Link to comment

I hesitate to get into a long discussion about this here but it definitely made improvements in both. For a relatively low investment it is worth a try. It is basically a high capacity Layer 2 managed switch at heart. They are back up to $80 on Newegg. I got a Cyber Monday deal. I was using a Netgear 8 port basic gig switch before and this is a definite step up. There is a PRO version if someone wants to spend 4 times as much but for audio I think this one is the one.
