Sufficient upgrade
This is my third NetGear router for the last 10 or so years and what compelled me to get this is the fact that I just barely realized that I should be taking advantage of Charter Spectrum's base 200-gig speed. So far, it's consistently read 200-some gigs per wireless test with a few dips here and there depending on the device and location. My 2-story house is close to 2,000 sq-ft and even at the farthest corners outside and within the house the signal and connection is great. This is super simple to setup but can be head-scratching at first as the instructions make it sound like you can only manage it using the Nighthawk app when in reality you can still do so via the old-school way/website. What do I gotta say? Go with this if you have 100 and above connection and would like to accommodate that speed both wired and wireless while using both 2.4 and 5hz protocols...not to mention the topnotch security that has always accompanied NetGear devices. Thank you for reading this.

Best Router on the Market
This router is perfect for my one bedroom apartment. I get signal in every corner of my apartment and my signal stays consistently strong throughout. Quick, strong connection that provides for problem free internet use and gaming.

Great router
I updated to this router thinking it probably wouldn't make a noticable difference. I was really amazed!! Screen shot shows the difference from 20-40 Mbps to 88-99 Mbps. Plus it runs 2.4 GHz,5Ghz, and AC. A wide range of frequencies should cover all devices for a few years. It stays cool, very well vented.

Intimidating at first but then extremely simple
Intimidating at first but then extremely simple. I wanted to improve my Comcast modem router. Read a lot online watched a lot of YouTube’s was very nervous to do so. Went into my local Best Buy and spoke to the salesman. I didn’t go to geek squad. The salesman however was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He talked me through the process and all the steps I should use and gave me the websites needed. I went home and became a techno magician! All along I thought it was my Comcast signal cutting me short. Turns out it was my router! I highly recommend this router.
