Customer Ratings & Reviews

We're in the process of a relocation. I had to leave my nice Asus AC router behind for my wife and needed a basic router for the new house. This is a perfectly adequate router for most people with a simple setup procedure. Power users will not be interested, but it would be fine for anyone who doesn't want to put much effort into managing their router. When I get my Asus router back, I'll retire this one, but it would probably be fine for my in-laws as an upgrade. It's a perfectly serviceable router without a lot of bells and whistles.

Happy with the product. Covers my whole apartment properly and gives a good speed connection. Easy installation as well

A lightning strike killed my router, so I went to Best Buy. Rep I talked to was very helpful, and recommended this product, based on my mentioning that I only use the internet for checking email, facebook, and other simple surfing. Easy to install, and meets my needs. The only problem I have is that, regardless of what is in the installation instructions, I have not been able to change the name of the router, the password I used at installation (wrote it down, so I wouldn't forget it) does not work, and when I go to the Netgear web site, my email address is not recognized. Seems that Netgear forgot everything as soon as I finished.

It was very reasonable as far as the price, and the set up assistant was helpful, making the registration and password setting very smooth.

Nice router. I use this router for connecting all my smart home devices like: doorbells, cameras, alarm, garage door opener, smart locks, switches , etc.. Works very well, easy setup, decent app to control router. I have over 25 devices on this router with no issue. Router has dual bands 2.4 and 5 ghz, which is great because many smart home devices still only support 2.4 ghz.

Setting up the router was simple and I was able to start using the wifi right away. I live in an apartment so this is enough to cover the entire place.

Great price for this router. I would highly recommend this product, however I struggled at first because there were no instructions on how to set it up. Putting it together was the east part, but there is no instructions that you need to download the app before using in-order to actually get the wifi. I didn't have any wifi at the time, so I needed to use my personal data to download the app. After installing the app it has worked perfect and was a great price.

This has out preformed all the other routers I have had. I have not had any issues and setup was a breeze.

Easy to setup. Good size, strong signal. Having dual bands is nice.

I think I'm getting a larger range than I did with my old router. I used to loose wi-fi in the kitchen. Now I can use my computer at the kitchen table.

This router has worked fine for our three bedroom condo. Our laptops stopped freezing and being slow once we had this router installed. Don't need something expensive for a student condo.

Easy setup, good range (even on 5G), and signal strength

Netgear lives up to it's name, would not buy any other brand. New router does as stated, no issues,easy setup. Unit delivers a wifi signal to a 2086 sq ft home. It also provides a signal in the backyard.

Easy setup, I like the auto wifi push once button, very satisfied with signal, 4 bars in iPhones every time! Will recommend to friends.

This is the first router I've ever bought and it has been pretty easy to use! I've only had to restart it once or twice so far and it comes with a easy to use app for your phone! The reason I give it 4 stars is because I still do lose wifi on my devices for a few moments from time to time.

Needed a new router as old one would not support our usage. Has worked well, and there is a noticeable difference in speed. Not bad for the price.

It works fine for my needs and the space it has to cover. I just needed internet for my laptop, phone, and smart TV's (Roku). A PRO is I could return the modem and cables to my internet provider so I don't have a bunch of cables everywhere. I have a 4 year old laptop that it connected to easily. The CON is it only has limited connection to my 10 year old laptop. I've ordered a new laptop so I'm not too concerned.

Pretty basic router at a decent price, works fine for my elderly mom at her 2 bedroom townhouse.

Works great no complain. Fast speed and easy set-up.

I decided that a separate modem and router combination was better than getting an all-in-one gateway based on my research. Setup was easy using the web interface via WIFI. There is a basic menu and an advanced menu for getting things configured. It receives the internet signal from my modem automatically. Set the security keys aka wifi passwords. That was easy to do using the web interface. This router is probably best for a one or two bedroom apartment and if you have a house you'll probably want something a little more powerful/faster, but for myself it's perfect. I haven't had any problems connecting or maintaining
