    I was operating my wifi and internet with an old NetGear router which was working fine until I decided to cut the cable cord and go to the Amazon Firestick. I worked with Amazon customer service for over an hour as my Firestick would not load. Feeling defeated, I went to Best Buy to purchase a new router and was so happy I did. It was easy to install and my internet response time is up ten fold and my Firestick works like a charm. I knew NetGear was a good product, but now I'm convinced its the only one I'll use from now on.

    Excellent Router works perfectly! We had been experiencing lots of technical difficulties at our office and had tried everything to have our Internet run more efficiently. On the phone with the service provider several times, resetting modem, router etc. and nothing was helping. Not only has this modem solved the problem, we were able to order and pick it up over the lunch hour so we were back in business by the time we began seeing patients!

    I got this router for our vacation home. I didn't need anything expensive or extremely fast. Set up was a little tricky. Our devices would see the network but would not connect. I played around with the settings online and changed one setting that was either on/off by default (I can't recall now) and that did the trick. There weren't many instructions for this part but luckily I have some experience and found the error. Our devices (multiple) have had little problems connecting and the speed is very good.

    This item is one well worth buying in my opinion. It is too bad that my internet service provider is horrible. When my internet is working this device does exactly what I need it to do. The set up genie actually helped me deal with an exceptionally difficult modem. I had done everything the set up wizard for the difficult modem (not the netgear) prompted me to do but no luck. I even asked my ISP for help but once again they played games with me so no help there. I set the Netgear genie to work and then I got internet. Yay!

    I installed my new router last month because my old one was negatively impacting my WiFi upload speed. And since I depend on Zoom calls to work from home, I was seeing lots of lagging, buffering, and connection drops. Not so now! This new router works like a charm, and the Nighthawk app makes managing my internet connections easier than ever before. Time will tell if this all lasts!

    We needed a replacement router for our downtown condo that we only use occasionally. This wireless router is used for wireless security cameras, internet access, music streaming and Netflix. It replaced a much more expensive Linksys router that had reached the end of its service life (about 4 years). We decided to go cheap ($87) due to the fact that we weren't asking that much of it, and it has worked beautifully. The internet is fast and the streaming speeds are fast enough that there is no visible buffering.

    The Perfect Router (for me)

    Finally decided to replace the old wireless N router. After reading a number of reviews, I chose the Netgear - Ac1200 Dual-band Wi-fi Router - Multi. The price was nice and the easy setup is amazing. Only took a few minutes. My wife and I work from home so reliable WiFi is critical. We have a small 1600 sf house and connect multiple PC's, phones, TV's and tablets. Recption is great, better than ever! I'm not at all sure what the $200/$300/$400 routers do that is so much better than this one, but I guess I don't need to know.

    Although router prices vary this one fell in the middle just as the last netgear I had. It work for 7 years so I'm hoping this one will last that long. If I remember right had some trouble setting up that last one,but this was up and running in no time. Do a Google search on set up of this router to get a feel what I'm talking about. My house is on 1 floor and the placement of the router is in the middle of it. No problem with staying hooked up.

    I am an I.T. guy by trade, and I have now used this router 3 different times for family and friends homes. For the price of the router, it is kinda hard to beat. The router is very easy to setup, wifi range is pretty decent, and it also allows more advanced users plenty of flexibility such as port forwarding. If you have a larger home than 1k square feet and want whole house coverage than look into Google Wifi Mesh or another Wifi Mesh system.
