Also be aware there is an (as yet) unpatched security hole.
By using powerline adaptors to move the router you will take a massive hit on performance as even the fastest ones cant do anywhere near the speed they advertise if you use gigabit adaptors you wont get gigabit performace so the ethernet ports will be a lot slower than they should be eventhough Windows will report a gigabit connection. The only reason that would be a idea is if you were only concerned with wifi your best option is always to hardwire if possible. All my network is hardwired and i can make the best of my 200mbps Virgin service and i have a AC1900 router for the wifi only products like the ipad and unless you have .AC cards then you might aswell get a much cheaper .N router. A .AC1900 wifi card is not a cheap item and im willing to bet that 90% of people that own these routers at best have AC750 cards that includes myself my Missis wouldnt know the difference and i know im a little selfish but as long as the kids and the missis can get online i couldnt gave a flying ***** at what speed they are getting im only concerned with what my wired rigs are getting.
I hope the Missis doesnt see this or ill be cooking my own Tea.

Notice, this router does NOT have modem built in, so it cannot replace your super hub, but you could put your super hub in modem mode and connect it to this router to get a big LAN improvement

WTF is a super hub? Jeese. I thought a router to play Rust on was all I needed. Calm down Lahn mate.

Great Router, but make sure you update the firmware as soon as possible.
Netgear released a statement a couple of days ago about this one in particular saying it's security was compromised.
Just google: Netgear R7000

Will this allow me to track internet activity at home? Like sites visited etc?

I don't own this device, but from a bit of googling, I think the Netgear firmware only can tell you how much data each device has used - however if you install dd-wrt on it, you can install extra tools, and it looks like this will do the job perfectly http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=259806

Thanks very much! I'll have a read now
I never knew this type of thing could be done until recently

To reiterate what terry_burns85 said, anyone buying this must update the firmware immediately.
A Netgear rep with the username chris_salazar is on reddit giving regular updates on the update. 15 hours ago he said: "We posted the beta firmware last night and will have another update today."

Google Translate of that page says "This item can not enter the United Kingdom". Is there a way to get it shipped here?

You don't even have to use google translate, it's now possible to change Amazon.de to English.
looks like this deal is dead now, that message was not there earlier :disappointed:

There is a beta firmware - http://kb.netgear.com/000036386/CVE-2016-582384 - but not yet an official release to fix a huge security flaw.
