Because of my high demand I have to plug directly into the router with no drag and all other devices haven't had any drag using Wi-Fi since I got this router. So I needed a router that could handle all of my data requirements while keeping my 4 kids and wife happy with there multiple electronics. I work from home as a system applications developer, sending and pulling gigs of data every min. My last router was am AC 5400 and was being stretched to its limits. Overall, I highly recommend the R9000 - like I said I've been a netgear customer for years and years and I've barely ever had an issue.
The only leg up the EA9500 has on the R9000 is the linksys iOS/Android app is superior to netgears - but that doesn't tip the scales at all. Further, the EA9500 GUI would constantly lock up and crash the router - in two weeks I had to reset the router to factory defaults 3 different times. The EA9500 had excellent wifi coverage, maybe just a tad better than the R9000 but it had a terribly dumbed-down GUI and constantly dropped devices and internet connection. Like I mentioned, before buying the R9000 I had the EA9500 for 2 weeks - biggest mistake ever. No degradation in through-put to any device measured by Speed Tests I don't use the USB functions of the router so I can't comment on that. I've been a Netgear user for the past 5 years now (intermixed with some mistakes of trying Linksys) and I couldn't be happier. I've only experienced 1 hiccup with the R9000 since I've hooked it up and that involved all the LAN ports not having internet access, however, the WIFI worked fine - a simple router reboot and I haven't seen it happen again. With 6 LAN ports and the 7th being a 10gb line (one can dream right!?) I'm able to provide networking capability to my entire house without the need for switches all over the place. The R9000 is perfect for my needs and is complimented by my R8000 in Access Point mode. So I can provide a comparison between them both. Before I bought the R9000 I tried that EA9500 from Linksys.
