    Great router. It is obviously not the best because of the cheap price. However, it is good for the price range and value.

    Needed a new router since my very old one finally gave up. Netgear seems to always gave a good product so I purchased this one. Good price comparison and basic needed functions. This unit should serve me well.

    Granted, i’ve only set up 4 or 5 routers in my life, but, this one is the best yet. The Nighthawk(cheesy name, right?) app was easy to use, walked me through the set up process. It was a breeze.

    This is a decent home router for 2-4 people. I just wish they were clearer about the product not having gigabit ethernet ports. Instead they are 100mbps.

    Easy set up and have not had to reboot it once! Mounted it in the rafters of my detached garage for a nice router behind a router setup. Now I have good coverage outside.

    This router was very easy to setup and I love that I can change the network name and password via the app. You can also see who all is using your WiFi via the app. Very easy to use and access.

    Fast Wifi but lan port tops out at 100 mbps. I used it until I could afford a faster router with gigabit lan ports.

    Its a good router with neat features that I didn't have before. Devices connected to it can be monitored, added and removed using the app. You can create a guest or child passwords that will expire at a specified time. Can scan QR code to connect instead of using password. Has two frequencies, 2.4 and 5GHz. One for faster speed and the other for longer range. Overall happy with the upgrade.

    I purchased this router for my parents who live in a small to medium sized house. All of their devices connect even at the far end with full strength. No issues so far, they are very pleased.

    I needed to replace my over 10 year old router and this was the perfect replacement. I have no issues so far and the range is definitely upgrade. Also the setup was less than 10 minutes.
