Customer Ratings & Reviews

Netgear makes great wireless routers and this low cost router provides ample coverage and speed at a low cost.

Was using Spectrum’s provided router and having issues with connectivity. Purchased about six months ago and it definitely solved the problem. Using in a 1,350 sq ft apartment and running multiple devices (personal laptop, work laptop, iPad, TV) and do not experience any issues. If you’re in need of an upgrade these will do the trick!

What I like best about this router is the simplicity of initial setup and configuration. Also good is that it has enough support on the Internet and on newsgroups so if you have any questions there are many thousands of people who have already used the device. It also has the power and flexibility to satisfy more complex situations than mine; and it looks very nice in the living room!

I was deciding between a few in this price range, and the netgear seemed to have the most features. NAS feature is awesome. We have all our media on one drive connected to it, and we can access it from any computer. Its great. The only issue I had was that it had to be mounted pretty high on the wall to cover the whole house, whereas my old netgear didn't have any problems reaching all corners. But it does provide adequate coverage, as long as its mounted high.

Easy setup, powerful, worth the cost. Great product

Works great never had a problem and easy setup for a newbie

This router was easy to setup and gives a strong signal. No issues with it so far.

Cover's the whole house and we have multiple device! No lag!

This router is a great choice if you need increased coverage. I am able to stream movies without any delays.

Router works great. Hasn't dropped connection once since we installed it. Speed is excellent as well. We aren't gamers, but do stream movies. Note: You can't do anything without the app. I made the mistake of uninstalling the old router before downloading the app. It took forever to download the app without wifi. Even the spotty wi-fi on the old router would have eased that process.

Easy to setup and use. Great management tools. Signal strength good

This replaces a Netgrear router I bought in July 2014. The 2.4ghz section on it died. Six years for $60 wasn't bad so I went with Netgear again. Set up was easy. Download the Netgear Nighthawk app and follow directions. I had No problems setting up all my WiFi devices and I have a lot. Lights, thermostat, Ring cameras, printers, phones and PCs. Works with all of them. One PC and Eufy camera are connected via cat 6 cables. I have it mounted high on a middle wall in the middle of my 50' X 30' basement rancher and the coverage is excellent everywhere in the house. Better than the last router. Has Simultaneous Dual Band WiFi—2.4 & 5GHz and 3 antennas for what they call "wave shaping" for better signal. It also has a lot of features like being able to share and an external HD via USB. Parental controls, Guest use. See specs for more. One thing I noticed that might annoy some is that the white LEDs on the front are Bright. Too bright. Works well as a nightlight downstairs but on a desk or another location it could be annoying. The last unit had green LEDs that were so dim you could barely see them. From one extreme to the other. At least they aren't Blue! ;-)

I am not an expert by any means, as it took me quite a while to figure out how to log the router in and bring it online, but it has worked flawlessly and allows me to use more devices and receive my wifi from much longer distances at faster speeds. I was paying $10 a month to rent a modem and now in 18 months the router and modem will pay for themselves and I can support more devices and have a stronger signal.

It works great! It reaches everywhere in my apartment and provides speedy internet

This router is great! It covers a lot of distance and doesn't cut out at all. High speed!

Good for what I need, the signal range is ok for a big house, you can connect up to 6 devices at the same time.

Fast, setup was not too difficult. This router is for users with less than 25 connections.

If you have decent internet speeds from your ISP but are noticing a slow down, the router might be the problem. I had a super old router that was limiting my internet speeds even though I was paying a premium for faster internet speeds. I got this new router and everything started working much better, and connections didn't drop... ever!

Replacement for Linksys model (which I will never buy anything with their name on it) Works great easy set up

Our previous router was due for an upgrade as the family usage has expanded with the number of devices connecting as technology grew more accessible and the children became grownups with girlfriends. This router easily reaches the entirety of the house with much improved speed over the past router. We were considering upgrading until Irma made the choice for us. One good thing as a result of the storm.
