Netgear RS400 vs PHICOMM K3 (2017)

The Netgear RS400 has impressed reviewers from two sources that are among the most highly trusted on the internet, namely Tom's Guide and Laptop Mag. It did great in their objective hands-on roundups - it earned the "The best router to secure your whole house" and "Best Wi-Fi router for the security-conscious" awards from Tom's Guide and Laptop Mag, respectively. That's high praise from such reputable sources.

Taking a look at the PHICOMM K3 (AC-3150) (2017), it got featured in roundups from two reliable sources that conduct their own testing - CNET and PCmag - but it fell short of earning a top spot in either.

We couldn't find any sources that tested both of these Wi-Fi Routers, so we only analyzed how they performed in reviews from different sites.

We first examined which sources rated each of these best and found that the Netgear RS400 got its highest, 8, rating from Tom's Guide, while the PHICOMM K3 (AC-3150) (2017) earned its best, 7, score from CNET.

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 6.5.

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.
