    I ordered this for my daughter at her college apartment but was worried that she might not be able to figure it out. The installation was easy and she was able to do it without calling me for help. It works great.

    NetGear AC1000 Model R6080 Review

    I purchased this product because my previous one was also NetGear. There is no setup instruction booklet. I had to go to Nighthawk App to setup the device. Easy to do. Basically, plug in to power outlet and modem and activate. So, I thought. The selection was on my computer for internet selection. But it would not work. On the App, there is an 800 number to call for assistance. I called the number and was told that I had to subscribe to either a 2, 3, or lifetime subscription in order to activate my internet connection. I objected, but to no avail. After, paying them $200 and going through numerous screens, they finally activated my access. It is working fine. However, I should have been able to just plug and activate in just minutes like I did with my previous NetGear. I am furious and thinking about unplugging the device and returning to the store. I purchased the device for ease of use. I should not have had to pay a ransom and gone through many different windows for input to activate my internet connection. Would recommend with caveats.

    I bought the Netgear AC1000 router for our AirBnB, a small house in North Carolina. It performs as advertised and seems adequate for high speed wifi for our guests.

    I'm a pretty savvy Tech User, and I have been experimenting more with NETGEAR recently. I have their Nighthawk 3.1 Modem & it's awesome. The Mobile App makes everything very easy to Setup/Configure. Great Range @ the House!

    Well I was working from home and my 6 year old Cisco refurbished router died so of course I went to Best Buy. I was expecting lightning quick speeds coupled with my new modem however it was the same. It didnt seem to go thru the 1 wall in my 1 bedroom apartment even with the cool antennas, old router didnt have antennas. But I will say my Microsoft Teams conference calls stopped dropping or putting me on hold. Overall a good buy as I got it for $40 because BB is awesome at price matching.

    The router works great with cable company provided modem. Connects easily, and works well through the app. Customer service was needed on the initial setup and it was fast and helpful.

    Best router on the market in this price range. Had the router from a different brand for 10 years and didn’t work anymore. Life quality improved 100 percent. Perfect for an apartment with 5+ devices. If you have a house go with a better version.

    I haven't got around to hooking up my new router yet as my old one that sometimes gives me problems is still working but will be doing so shortly. I bought the new one because I knew I would need one soon and I had some rewards available. Don't know if this helps you but the salesperson was very helpful and the price was reasonable. Other than that everything went well. I purchased a Netgear because I've had their products before and think they are of quality. Just submitted this to be helpful, don't expect anything(points) for it.

    I needed an inexpensive router to supply wifi to my garage. It is out of range from the rest of my house, so I used the AC network extenders to connect this guy to the rest of the network and it works like a charm. Nothing fancy, just reliable wifi.

    The Nighthawk Netgear is very basic and easy to use which is great for me because I am a novice at computers at the ripe old age of 78. I basically use the computer for emails and searching basic things.
