    Best value high power wifi router. The three antennas provide wide coverage. You will need either a phone or a wifi laptop to set these up! Also provides a "Guest" wifi account which is extremely handy for keeping you network private!

    Good range on this router in my 3300 sq ft home, but firmware is garbage, needs reset every day and it kicks devices off randomly, do not buy

    Netgear has pretty good stuff and this router has been great. Accessible all around our house. It’s not a palatial estate, but it’s not a micro-home either. A basic knowledge of setting up a modem or router will be enough to get you out of the box and browsing.

    Huge difference from my old router

    Switching to this router made a huge difference. It's slightly slower than my old router to boot up and get connected to the Internet, but once it's running, it's more than powerful enough for the 6-8 or so devices in my house,

    I bought this new router for help with wi fi problems with a 2 story house. Seems like the weak wi fi signal down stairs has improved to good or almost excellent. That was my problem area so I'm glad it helped me out.

    I've needed an upgrade to my wifi router for a long time now and I got this on black friday. Outside of being a huge pain to set it up, it has worked great! Everything in my house runs better and smoother on this router.

    Tricky to set it up and get it connected. Had to call Netgear and they were helpful to a point. Told me EVERYTHING was now connected. No. No everything wasn't connected. But the equipment seems to be working just fine.

    Have it for a month all wifi problrms are gone. I had exteners and it did not help. Nighthawk AC2600 change all that. Now my wifi reaches everywhere without the exteners. Got it on sale which make it even better.

    We were replacing an outdated router because our WiFi kept dropping. This has worked great. We've had no issues and I live that guests have their own log in so our main one doesn't have to be shared.

    My only complaint is the lack of mention of the final step of the installation where you need to go to your email and verify receipt. I struggledfor too long missing this step. Overall, I am very satisfied.

    Fast but Drops signal a lot

    I really want to like this router. I’ve given it a year now and have finally ordered something else. My son is a gamer and I thought this would be a wonderful purchase. However, it drops the signal several times daily leading to much frustration for my son in the middle of a game. Let me just say it’s been a long year of constantly rebooting etc. I finally ran an Ethernet cable directly to his room. It still drops the signal. Going another route and hopefully will be a better solution. The app is nice and you can test speeds.

    I used this router only as an Access Point behind a separate firewall device. The Access Point mode works flawlessly and it was a complete plug-n-play setup, no extra steps needed.

    Didn’t work for our home

    Ended up returning this router. We bought this router to replace a NETGEAR - Nighthawk AC1900 that we were struggling with signal in our three story home. Setup was easy. With it setup in our basement we had spotty connection, especially on the top floor. Didn’t see much improvement after moving it to the main floor. Eventually decided to trade it in for a Google Nest system. This router probably works well for a smaller home but didn’t meet our needs.

    I had an older netgear so this was a great upgrade to support new smart home devices requiring a different network. However, changing over to the new router was painful since I have so many devices!

    Even though I’m not a gamer, I bought this specific router because I thought it would be able to handle all the devices that are connected in my home. I was right! Streaming has never been clearer.
