Does NOT offer 300mps wifi
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Despite "AC1000 WiFi—300+700 Mbps speeds" in the description, this product only offers 100mps wifi. The 300+700 is the "link rate". Netgear is deliberately misleading hoping to trick customers. I have a 2 bedroom apartment, this does not even cover that. And it took so long to figure out why "WiFi—300+700 Mbps" does not mean a thing, this is past the return period.

Forces netgear account
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Im giving a poor review because updating firmware forces you to sign up for a net gear account. I feel very strongly against products that force accounts like these on their users.

Did not meet standards
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This item did not meet my standards. After a few days, I could no longer connect to my internet via the router and had to resort to another modem purchase that included a built in router

Must Download App and Open Account to Work
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There's no way around this. Without the app, the router will not work. I know it's sounds strange, but it's true. Read the other reviews if you don't believe me. Downloading an app wasn't actually the deal breaker, it was the requirement to set up an account with my personal information that crossed a line.

Stay away
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a waste of time and money.It will drop your download speed coming in very bad, and you will have 1 to 2 bars in your area to work with.it cheap and it will work, but not very well, at least go to the 1750 model.

Wifi issues
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Doesn’t reach all of our house well, and our house isn’t that big. Or ISP plan offers 300mbps downloads but we’re getting 30-40 mbps downloads even when plugged directly into this.

Drops connection
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Does extend the wifi a little bit, but it seems like it drops the wifi connection often, so we have to reconnect a lot. Never had a problem with our interment till we got this.

Netgear AC1000 Dual-Band Wi-Fi Router

HORRIBLE product - misleading description
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product advertises AC wireless and speeds up to 700 mbps wirelessly. The big problem is.. the routers WAN port and the 4 ethernet ports are all 10/100 mbps ports. So, the router cannot get speeds more than 100 mbps. If it can't get more than 100 mbps.. there is no way, it is going to wirelessly give you more than that. HORRIBLE product and misleading description

what a waste of time, efforts and money
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A waste of time. After two hours of trying every trick in the book it would never connect to the internet. why do I need an app and net-gear account and allowing access to my phone etc. stay away. To me net gear products have been a disappointment for the past few years

Inconsistent

Reduced my internet speed from 300 to 90
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Does not provide advertised speed. Cuts the speed given by my modem down from 300 mbps (tested this with a direct ethernet connection to the modem) to just 89 mbps (tested this with a direct ethernet connection from PC to router, as well as wifi). Very frustrated. It was also very annoying to set up. The app wouldn't work on my Android and I had to finish on a PC.

Works well but only 10Mb WAN
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Coverage from the wifi was awesome but the router connection is only 10Mb (not 1Gb) so if you have GigaBlast fiber or cable then this will keep you slowed and not getting what you pay for.

Capped @ 90mbps
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Either I don't understand what 1000 mbps is or my router is full of ****. All trouble shooting and speed tests of my network point to this router being capped at 90 mbps per port and via wireless.

Returned it same night
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I tried to use this to amplify my WiFi signal upstairs. I heard it might work. It took forever to get it set up and it still didn’t want to accept passwords. So, back to the store it went.

Didn't work
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.2 stars because it may have been messed up from the Router Xfinity left behind or the guy installed it might have had issues. I'm not sure which one but the product never did work.
