    Great while it worked.

    The WAN port failed after 9 months. No problem, right? The hardware warranty is one year. They'll only accept a warranty claim if you pay them $80 to troubleshoot it first! And since the warranty is Netgear's, BestBuy kicks it off to them and won't handle it in-house. So my device failed while in warranty and Netgear wants to charge $80 to troubleshoot it first. They claimed to have remotely checked the hardware WHILE IT WAS OFFLINE. When asked later, they said "it was a simulator, we can't actually check your device remotely. You'll need to pay the $80 for that."

    I have purchased this twice and both only last 2 years. It randomly needs reset every few months, but works well when it does work.

    I had to call support 3 times in the first month. Would have returned it if the 15 days were not up. Had trouble hooking it up and more problems with it working with Netflix. I hope that it is now fixed but time will tell.

    Repeatedly called Netgear for same problem. Reps are English Second Language and you say the problem and they repeat everything you tell them incorrectly. Issue is with Wireless, they want me to run speedtest on Wired connection, direct to modem. IPAD is in next room. Now they want $89 to help me fix a problem that they could not fix on my repeated phone calls.

    Have had multiple issues with the router dropping the signal, requiring a reset every time. As I am working from home, this is extremely disruptive. Have contacted NETGEAR multiple times, have been told a replacement is on its way, but still waiting. I hope my experience is an isolated one, but I cannot recommend this product.

    Started with going down on and off, then poor speed....finally red light on the internet and it will not connect. Called Comcast who told me that it is a problem with Netgear since internet is working via ethernet directly to the cable modem. Called Netgear several times, they want me to pay $139 for tech support after wasting my time. This product is really low quality. Failed right after one year. Never buying Netgear again.

    Looks good on paper but maybe it's just me, but I can't control the router with the app on the computer, or the app from my phone. The router will not connect to either. So basically I can't control anything with this router.

    Very disappointed with Nighthawk 1750! It dies six months after purchase. It was pretty intermittent about 30 days after install. I bought a Eero mesh system and it is fantastic!

    Don’t bother with this thing. For the price, pay a little more and go with ASUS. It’s soooooo much better than this thing.

    Bought this Netgear ac-1750 router based on the reviews but as much as I tried to get it to work I couldn't. Not even with the suggestions other people made. So I ended up returning it to Best Buy for a refund

    This router was fast and connected to easily. We've had it for almost a year. Last week it stopped working. We've tried everything to get it running again. Nothing is helping. Time to call customer support.

    While the router works as a Wi-Fi broadcasting device, the promised parental controls fall short of the promises on the pack. Neither intuitive or simple, I returned the item for a different brand.
