Netgear RS400 vs PHICOMM K3 (2017)

The Netgear RS400 was loved by reviewers at Laptop Mag, a highly trusted source that performs reliable in-depth testing. It did great in its "Best Wi-Fi routers in 2022" roundup where it was named its "Best Wi-Fi router for the security-conscious", which, in itself, makes it a product worth considering.

As for the PHICOMM K3 (AC-3150) (2017), it wasn't able to earn a top spot in any roundups from trusted sources that conduct their own hands-on testing. Nevertheless, it managed to impress reviewers at Tom's Guide, CNET, and PCmag enough to make it onto their respective shortlists.

We examined all of the review data that we could find and first took a look at sources that reviewed both of them, like Tom's Guide, and found that they haven't shown a preference for either product.

Then we checked which sources liked these two Wi-Fi Routers best and found that the Netgear RS400 got its highest, 8, review score from reviewers at Tom's Guide, whereas the PHICOMM K3 (AC-3150) (2017) earned its best score of 8 from Tom's Guide.

Lastly, we averaged out all of their review ratings and observed that the Netgear RS400, with its 8.0 average, performed considerably better than most Wi-Fi Routers - the mean score for the product category being 7.4 out of 10 - while the PHICOMM K3 (AC-3150) (2017) managed an average of 7.0.

There's one caveat here - it might not be entirely justifiable to do a direct Netgear RS400 vs. PHICOMM K3 (AC-3150) (2017) review average comparison since they aren't priced the same and more expensive products tend to get higher review scores from some sources.
