Customer Ratings & Reviews

This was a huge improvement for what I used to have in my townhome. It made it so much faster and better signal. I believe you can get stronger signals out there but you will pay the price too. For the price is a great product and Netgear is a great brand and good customer service.

Overall this seems to be a pretty good piece of equipment, but, I could not find any option to combine the 2G and 5G networks into one. It would be good if this device could handle that and could also automate some of those things to ensure the best frequency is used based of different range and device conditions.

Setup was not as straightforward as the directions would suggest. The app wasn’t working for me and I had to use the website to set it up. Need better instructions. After finally setting it up it works perfect. My whole house has great coverage.

Collected the router from the store and took it home. Within 20 minutes with the set up , the router was operational. Works very well and have been impressed with speed it delivers. It works well with multiple vpn's connected through it.

I finally had the time to install my new Netgear router over the weekend. Outside of one or two glitches in setting up the network that I finally figured out, things went well. Still waiting to see if this helps with streaming, and can handle the 7 devices that are connected to it, otherwise I would have given it a 5 star rating

I have installed this router in multiple apartment and individual homes. Set up is simple and the range is excellent. The Genie software is very good for monitoring who is on the network and the status of the router. Firmware upgrades are a one button push. Great all around wireless router.

Our family is connected to the internet with far too many devices, and this router handles the traffic with ease.

this came highly recommended to help out with the number of people using the wifi. works very good.

I had no need for the newest ultra high speed wireless (most folks don't actually if you look at the numbers) so this was more than adequate for my needs. It performs well and as less than bleeding edge was a good value. It also had some of the advanced user controls that I needed (static routing e.g.)

All over all very solid router. I would rate it 4.3 to 4.5 (For me to rate something 5 it would have to be guaranteed longevity of performance) I bought and installed about 10 of them so far. My concern is longevity but only time will tell that story but if it is like most of the other NETGEAR things that I buy router should last 4 to 5 years. I will start with good things. LAN performance is good and solid, 2.4GHz is very stable so far no problems, easy to configure and easy to understand even the advanced things (at least for me) bad part: reboot takes long time and 5GHz wireless network not as stable as I would like it (drops some time and a bit of sluggish on 3 out of 10 that I have installed so far) The only router that has very solid performance on 5GHz so far is Ruckus however the price difference is enormous All over all for the price you get very stable and easy to configure router.

I have had this router since June 2018 and I usually don't do reviews but this router has been excellent. works great with my Spectrum internet box and all my wireless devices. I recommend this to anyone who is making a decision on a router. D

Installation and setup was easy. Still working on best placement of 5G antennas as unit is on 2nd floor of home

The net gear is very reliable...and consistent, and that is what we needed for Wi-Fi and streaming

Signal strength is excellent. Easy to install and use.

I have TWC and purchase this router after a speed test. TWC equipment is old and slow. This router gives you the dual option to go the 5ghz which is less traffic less congested. It is faster and much a better connection of course much better than TWC equipment. This was a upgrade to be sure.

Overall functions are good. Very little difference in internet speed when placed in the line. (A good thing) The setup can be misleading as to type connection to internet is needed. If this is the primary router, be sure the correct settings are applied or your network will be exposed to the world.

Works great and is very easy to set up and has great range

Wi fi range and speed in band N and AC is superb. Glad I asked a sales associate at best buy to choose a brand

This router was a replacement for an old Netgear router. Setup and configuration were straightforward. This router is supported by the Netgear Genie software which I also highly recommend. It's a free download and provides some useful tools for router and network management.

I needed to upgrade my older router as it was not keeping up with current wireless speeds. I picked this up and it worked nicely. It's kind of large and looks like a spaceship or something but you can turn the lights off if desired. It Sends out a good signal that reaches all the places in my home.
