This router is more than enough if you have mediocre to above average needs and arguably enough for any single home application for the near future. This router has other features I have yet to dive into but I will mention 2 Ethernet ports that are given priority when bandwidth is needed for high demand gaming.

I have two laptops, one desktop and 4 tv connected as well as several home automation devices ( video doorbell, cameras, sprinkler system, lights, blinds and vacuum) plus standard phone usage on wifi. There are plenty of Ethernet ports for most applications as well as usb 3.0. I have really enjoyed the router so far, I have it paired with a surfboard 6190 modem with 150 connection from xfinity. I have had no issue connecting anywhere in my home on the 5GHz (single story 1900sq/ft) The x8 has one 2.4GHz and two 5GHz bands so there is plenty of devices that are able to connect at higher speeds and the 2.4GHz gives great range. Not to mention the 60GHz needs to be very close to the devices connecting to it, 10 feet away and a wall are enough to drop the connection. There will be plenty soon but in my near future I don't plan to invest in devices that can operate this frequency.

One is bank for my buck, the new x10 and d-link have a 60GHz band but most devices can't use this band yet. And I went with the x8 instead of the hot new x10 for a few reasons. I am a big fan of netgear and decided to stick with them even though there are other tempting options from asus and d-link at the moment.
