    Purchased this to replace an old router. Have had this router for just about 1 year and absolutely no problems with it. No longer have to keep "resetting" the router. It handles several cell phones, echo dots, tablets, laptop, etc.

    This is a very flexible and powerful router. Provides both direct data connectivity and WiFi in my home to currently 8 devices. Also had a convenient app to monitor activity and performance.

    I bought this Netgear router NightHawk and had a hard time getting it going. No fault of the router but when you have Charter Spectrum certain things have to be done before it will work with them. Finally got it going and now it works great.

    Nighthawk is what I needed. With built in futures you can't go wrong . The only downside is you have to use phone to set it up , would not recognize lop top. After that it was smooth sailing.

    Router was great up until it crapped out on me. Did not last long before burning out. Worked great up to that point and easy to use.

    Clear difference in network quality when we upgraded to this from my original Netgear router. Buffering is gone and transferring files from the cloud is much faster. Highly recommend.

    great router to use. When we signed up for an internet service they give you a lesser quality router so we upgraded to the nighthawk as we used it in the past and it handles the bandwidth great.

    It went from a weak 1 bar to a strong 4 bar signal to all locations inside 2200 sq. foot home. My other wireless devices picks up its signal for outside use too. Recommended by the Best Buy Staff after listening to me about my current Wi-Fi issues.

    I was getting a lot of buffering while trying to watch movies on my Fire Sticks. I have 5 FS, a Thermostat, Security System, Ipad, Cell phones and a Ps3 all trying to connect to the Wi-Fi and this router solved the buffering problem.

    Router works well but our sump block walls significantly reduced coverage. Siting will be important with thick walls otherwise good performance.

    This is definitely an upgrade from my previous surfboard modem/router combo setup. I used to get dropped from my WiFi network multiple x per week. I rarely have any issues since installing this new modem.

    Works well, I like how it scans the network continuously. Integration with BitDefender is confusing with the app. Horrible at correctly identifying devices on the network.

    I do not see a difference between my Netgear AC1900 and AC2300. I am still experiencing lag after adjusting channels and removing unnecessary devices.

    This router works well for those that can load the app to your phone and follow the directions. It may seem that the directions are a bit difficult but follow them straight through. You will be satisfied with the results.
