    Works great but very big in size. Situated in the farthest corner of home and signal is strong throughout home.

    Replaced my old Netgear, which I say was great, with this model. Great upgrade, works so well and the Netgear web console is very easy to use and has a lot of options that are very powerful and allow / block what you need.

    It was replaced as we were having a general wifi failure. The incoming cable modem also required replacement. The end result has been a much faster wifi signal, especially since we are connected via the 5g bandwidth that is not as busy as the 2g bandwidth. We are extremely satisfied with our wifi signal now & are glad we replaced it with the Netgear Nighthawk .

    I was having problems with our router at home and this one was recommended. Internet appears to distributed throughout the house better however still some issues when multiple devices are in use. (believed to be an issue from the internet provider).

    Have had this router for over 3 years now! No issues, works great on a two story 3000sqft home. Dual band, so that’s a plus. Highly recommend this router (NETGEAR AC1750) or any other Netgear product. I use this router at home for both business and pleasure and it can definitely handle streaming multiple devices at once, surfing and online gaming. Overall great purchase!

    Switched from my previous Netgear router to this particular router and increased my wireless speeds instantly. It's an excellent fast router for gaming or streaming. I do both including wireless surveillance with no problem.

    Out of the box, this thing is stunning. A great compliment on any shelf. Set-up was what I expected, and pretty straight forward. I will admit that i did not *THOROUGHLY* read the start guide, which lead to a bit of a self-imposed frustration getting into the Web GUI, but once in, the Advanced tabs had all the things that i was accustomed to seeing and managing. That is... until i got to port forwarding. I use Chrome for just about everything. The basic options Netgear gives you is really short which requires you to set some new ones. NO PROBLEM, do it all the time... except when i entered the port number and route IP and click OK it tells me i need to use a number less than the port maximum (65,000 something) ...OK? 445 is less than that so what gives? Turns out Chrome is *NOT* the best browser to use for this (and other settings) as Safari allowed me to create new forwarding rules with no trouble. The LED lights on the front are great for identifying what speed each port is running at quickly. Amber for 10/100 and white for 1GigE but they are BRIGHT and you CANNOT dim them. You can tell the router not to blink and flash for traffic, or turn them off completely (which i guess if you knew they are running 10/100/1000 then big deal, turn them off) so if this is generally used in a dark room where people work, this could be a big distraction. Range is OK, not super fantastic but speeds take a big hit. Environment dependent so YMWV. Use range extenders if you need them, they are inexpensive and the WPS set-up on the router is rock solid. I didn't see where port teaming was available, and maybe it's not even a feature, but i wasn't able to test so maybe it works, maybe it doesn't. for a home network server, the added throughput of NIC teaming would be welcome. It does support jumbo frames so throughput can be tuned a little better. All in all it's working great, i have no complaints about it's day to day performance and would highly recommend it to just about anyone who wants fast networking throughput both wired and wireless.

    This router replaced on that was only 3 years old, but could not handle high def streaming very well. It is working great for streaming NetFlix and Amazon....no problems!

    I bought this not knowing too much on having an extra wifi router. I have internet service at home but with all the gaming systems and iPads and phones the connection was always bad. Started off good with this router but while playing game the signal is sometimes weak still. So I’m not sure if I need a more or what I’m missing. But the product itself was very easy to install and app was easy to set up.
