Easy to set up
I purchased this product at Best buy after doing some research. The set up was easy. It was a matter everything was plugged in properly and that the steps were followed. Most of the work is done by the Netgear nighthawk mobile app. The speed is very good. In one area of my house there was seventy percent increase in download speed. The WiFi signal in my house is much more stable and secured. Setting up guest networks was also easy. The nighthawk app makes managing your home network simple. I highly recommend this product.

Netgear setup
I've been using the Netgear router for a few weeks now — it works reliably, the speed is great, and the signal is strong throughout the apartment. Manual setup was fairly quick. Took about 30 minutes to figure it out.

Well worth the $$$$
Very pleased with this purchase! I upgraded to a 3.1 modem and a wifi6 router.. quadruple my speed!!! Router is easy to use and the night hawk app let's me control the wifi in my house even when I'm at work. And for the price... I don't think there is a better router out there... u game but always hardwire the BoxX1... wifi to the Xbox is about 90Mbps hardliners is 554Mbps !!!

Powerful and stable router
Finally a superb router that works! This router is replacing a Google Nest WiFi router that was very problematic. I figured for my latest router, I should stick with the same brand as my cable modem, which is also Netgear brand, and everything is working perfectly now. My Philips Hue bridge and Solar City gateway, which must be physically connected to the router are flawlessly working, which was not the case with the Google Nest WiFi. Also I have full WiFi anywhere in my home of 1800 square feet, even though all of my internet equipment is installed in the basement. The Nighthawk App, used to setup the Netgear router worked well, and was very user friendly. I did a speed test with that app, and I am getting slightly more than my bit rate from Xfinity! I’m very happy to have a stable, powerful, WiFi router as all of my connected devices now run perfectly!

#1 Game Router / Extender
This is an excellent all-around device. I experience absolutely zero latency while gaming, which makes a huge difference in competitive matches. Setup was effortless — it's truly plug-and-play. The modem is versatile and can function as either a router or be switched to bridge mode to work as an extender, depending on your network setup. One of my favorite features is the built-in gaming VPN. It optimizes my connection and lowers ping across different servers, so I can play to my maximum potential without lag or interruptions. The overall performance, design, and functionality make this a must-have for any serious gamer or anyone looking to improve their home network. Highly recommended!
