Customer Ratings & Reviews

Replaced a 9 year old router with this one after speaking with a Best Buy associate. Easy setup and has better speed than the old single band it replaced.

Wow, what a great find. Fast, easy setup and good range.

Easy setup. Good speed. Compact. Good router for a good price.

I purchased this router for my parents who don't have a lot of devices in their apartment: two iPhones, two iPads, and an Apple TV. This may sound like a lot, but since they are the only ones in the apartment (except when family goes over), only three devices intensively use the router. At a max of 700Mbps, this isn't an issue for the streaming they do on the Apple TV and the games on the phones/iPads. If you have a larger family and/or more than six devices that are routinely active and require higher bandwidth, this device isn't for you. I would recommend the Nighhawk AC2300 or higher model with MIMO, especially if you have a gaming computer. It's $100+ more, but it's worth it.

Works perfectly. I don't see a signal issue with it and I have not had to reset it by disconnecting power. Set up couldn't of been any easier.

The speed and range from this unit is very good. It has a 2.4ghz and 5ghz band. It also has a guest network SSID built in. Set up was very simple. All I had to do was connect my broadband connection to it, then I used the Nighthawk app on my cell phone to finish set up.

If you know what I mean when I say, "My favorite character was Princess Peach. She could briefly hover in the air!" Super Mario Bros 2. I loved that game. Anyway, Peach would hover, Toad the strongest/fastest and Luigi the best jump (hilarious when he jumped and his little legs started running in the air! LOL). Then Mario. He was the balanced character, well rounded, at least decent in most everything, few weaknesses but not the best at anything. So that's what I call something balanced in strengths and weaknesses. Mario. The Netgear - AC1000 Dual-Band Wi-Fi 5 Router is a Mario lol....I didn't want extras and super speed just basic capability, reliability and easy set up. You get it. It might be a bit underwhelming BUT it's realiably and dependably underwhelming.

Good upgrade at a low cost. The router my parents had was having issues and wouldn't stream Wi-Fi properly anymore...lots of cutting out. Plus there was no 5 Ghz band. I paid $49.99 for this router and it does the job very well. Snappy responses over Wi-Fi for the parents Smart TV for Netflix and such, nearly immediate...much better than the older one. Highly recommended if you're not doing heavy gaming and such. One con: Be advised that you have to go into the router itself (192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 on your web browser) in order for the router to install properly, to have Windows recognize and use it, and to update any and all firmware, so it's not plug and play ready, shall we say. Otherwise, you literally cannot use the internet until this process is complete. When it's finished installing itself, no further supervision is necessary but it's that initial process...which I haven't personally seen a router need to engage in for some years...that gives a headache or two.

I bought this along with the NETGEAR - 32 x 8 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem. I am far from being a techie but this was easy to set up and it's working great. The signal strength in my office is very good. No complaints at all here!

This WiFi router is great easy set up and the price will not hurt your pocket book. The range is very good through out my entire house = no dead zones.

I have always trusted Netgear products and this has proved the case. Owned for 2 years already and still going strong. Easy to follow instructions for setup and use.

This router gets me signal throughout my house, completely satisfied. I haven't had any issues with it, no resetting it or anything. Just a good signals that is always there. Great value too.

This router works great and has an excellent range for all my devices. Setup was easy and did not run into any issues. It is small enough that it will not interfere with other devices and is visually aesthetic.

My previous router started to get unstable and it was when I called my internet provider I decided to look into Netgear. Per a recommendation by my provider I was told about ease of installation and troubleshooting with the Netgear brand, and they were right. Installation was quick and easy. About 2 weeks after purchase the same issue I had with my previous router happened. Thanks to the geni app/software I answered a few questions and was back up and running in no time and haven't had any issues since. For the ease of use and a strong reliable connection I would recommend this product in a heartbeat. I was interested in 2 different models at the time of my visit and the Bestbuy rep was very helpful in helping me with the final decision. This model meets my needs for a reliable home wifi.

very reliable for the price. it was one recommend by the associate

This unit was easy to set up. The range is great and really works as advertised. If you need a nice wireless router at a great price, this one is for you!

I have had Netgear products in the past, and have never had any problems with them. Netgear is a good, recongnizable, and reliable brand that I trust. This Router has performed at that same level of reliability. For the price, this router provides adequate service to most laptops on the AC and N Networks. Many laptops like mine have a limited capacity Wi-Fi card built in to them. My Wi-Fi card is Dual-Band with 700Mbps Capacity on 5 GHz and 300Mbps on 2.4GHz. This router fits my needs perfectly, giving me the maximum possible capacity on the Wi-Fi that can be achieved from my laptop.

College life! Bought this for my daughters room at college. Easy to hookup and setup with all her devices ( 2 laptops, cell phone, printer, Smart TV, PS4). Not expensive and works great. Super excited

Pros: Cheap price Small and easy to hide away if you dont want it to been seen Wifi range is surprisingly good Cons: Ethernet ports on the back are capped at 100 mbps This router is about what youd expect for the price. It gets the job done but not recommended if you pay for internet that is above 100mbps. For a little bit more money there are much better routers on the market.

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.
