NETGEAR - Nighthawk X4S Wireless-AC Dual-Band Wi-Fi Router - Black

I utilize my network more than some small offices, I upgraded from the original Nighthawk and can say we have obvious improvements. Wireless is faster, stronger and more stable. I run video streams, a couple of Teens game in full 1080 resolution online along with multiple wireless streams across various devices in a 3200 sqft house. 99% coverage without additional devices in suburbia. I've been doing this a long time, switching routers about every 18 months. This router can hold it's own when compared to top end office routers. I'm very particular when it comes to network latency, this was a good purchase.

Previous dual band wireless router (Netgear N600) could not keep up with my recent broadband upgrade to 300Mbps no matter how close the device was, and I would occasionally get signal drop in some areas of my house. Hardwired to my Arris SB6183 I could hit advertised speeds, so decided it was time to upgrade. The four antennae on X4S keep me at full speed even 20' away, and in the previous dead zones in my house I now get full reception. Huge improvement.

This router is relatively new and the performance is impressive. I've yet to see a router handle all of my wireless devices along with have consistent speed and range. Best of all, the 5Ghz signal strength actually reaches throughout my home and even onto my driveway/backyard. It is wall mountable which is nice for ventilation and keeping it out of the way. Trust me, if you buy this router you'll be amazed.

This router has proven to meet the high volume needs of my household. With 3 smart tv's, 5 smart phones, xbox, playstation, wii, 5 laptops, wireless printer and VoIP, this router can keep all conected. Basic routers kept dropping devices, locking up, and long buffering; not an issue with this router. It is expensive but there is something to say about turning it on and not having to reboot or reconnect devices.I have not touched it since I installed it.The signal reaches 100% of my large home when other prouts wold leave dead spots on the second floor. In fact, the signal reached all the way to the end of the block, wow! The 2 band feature is very nice and the capability to set up guest networks is a plus. I really like that there is virtually no buffering when loading videos. I would have given 5 stars but set up was a little challenging (visit website for full instruction manual, does not come with product) and the price is a little high. Nice product overall.

I initially did a lot of research and read numerous reviews and went with the Asus-AC3100 and was surprised at the subpar results, I expected great things and it just didn't deliver. The Netgear Nighthawk X4S AC 2600 is the opposite, it is everything I wanted in a router, the range is good, the speed is excellent and all is working perfectly.

As the summary states. Yowzers! Love it. With up to 15 devices connected at once, this thing is a beast, smooth sailing. Easy to set up and customize. Highly recommended... especially if you game.

We bought this because our internet provider kept cutting out and interrupting shows, making it difficult to get through a program. We have not had any problems with this device and it was easy to set up

I needed a new router. This is the one that the Best Buy associate recommended. I was on board until I saw the price....The associate must have seen the look on my face. She re-assured me that it would be worth it, and my router frustrations would be left in the dust. So with a brick in my stomach, I looked to the checkout, paid, and home I went to experience my new "toy". I took it out of the box and started setting up what looks like a prop out of Star Wars. Once I had the antennas arranged and set up properly, I started to test the speed loss vs. hard wire.(I have Cox HSI and pay for the "up to150 Mbps") This is where I noticed the difference! My previous router (R.I.P ol' Buddy) would loose 35-60% speed depending on the day, room, location.... etc. I showed an average of 1% total loss on 4 different tests with Nighthawk X4s Wireless-ac Dual-band Wi-fi Router. I was getting 148 MBPS through Wi-Fi!!! My life was good again! I felt relieved that I could lay to rest my old, tired, less expensive and much inferior router. If you get this, I hope you experience the same joy this brings me on a daily basis. I mean, who doesn't want to be able to go 200 ft from the router location into the middle of the street and still get full reception pull up a chair and watch Netflix?
