    Ok router but it lacks many of the connectivity features available on server grade hardware. I guess the features that 99.9% of the population wouldn't use.

    This router does not buffer while streaming three tv's an xbox one and 3 or 4 phones at once. Getting 179 mbps at big screen thirty feet away, 5g. My phone hooks up a block away!

    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.

    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.

    This router was super simple to set up and I was worried about the signal not being strong enough for our home, but it works great and is fast wifi for our 800 SF apartment!

    It's good for the price, the set up was a bit difficult, but overall manageable. Be aware that there is no WPS button on this product.

    The range isn't the best but it still reaches everywhere I need it to, just not as fast at Max range. Great speeds though, easy to set up and the Nighthawk app is great.

    Easy set up, works with Netgear modem easily, no frills, but gets the job done. I'm not a streamer or gamer, just an internet browser/user so it fits my needs just fine. The range is pretty good.
