    Great router. I live in a 1300 sqft apartment and it covers three rooms fine. Usually have about 10 devices and it can handle it well.

    This router is great for a large home or if you want to receive the signal out in your yard. Also the 5G is extremely fast although it doesn't go as far.

    Was dragging a bit on my old router. Had my eye on the Nighthawk for a while. This is the mid range router, however, wireless items have been added and all is well. It was a very easy setup. Any beginner would be able to get this going I do believe. Like the app which allows me to shut down certain items in the home to save on usage as well as cut a teen off when I want to. Noticed right after hooking it up that it had blocked someone that I believed was leeching off of me. I would recommend.

    Strong performance, weak app

    As promised, this router delivers great performance in a large house, but getting it up and running, if you are not used to doing so by means of a cellphone app is a bit frustrating, Sure, the app covers the basics, but if you want to disable SSID broadcasting, or perform other less frequently considered security tweaks, you will not find such options there. The limited information provided in the box, in the app and online may leave you wondering if it is even possible to access the more advanced settings of this router, but if you set up a direct PC/laptop Ethernet connection to the router and apply the router's address via browser, you can uncover all the features not revealed by the app. I will note that the aforementioned disabling of SSID broadcast comes with a curious flaw. Doing so for the two bands (2.4 & 5 GHz) without disabling the optional "Smart Connection" feature of the router will not only hide your router's name from area devices as desired, but will also prevent connection from any Apple devices with newer iOS versions, even when the network name and password are properly entered! The work-around for this was to disable the SC feature, and use the same network name for both bands, as this feature otherwise would do anyway, Doing so allowed proper connection to the router for all devices tested, simply by supplying the proper credentials once. Other than this one fault, I have found this router a strong performer almost out of the box. For those not concerned with advanced details, the Nighthawk AC2600 provides easy setup via the app, and the built-in dual firewall checks all the right security boxes. My value rating is based on Black Friday pricing, but I would still consider it to be a good value at full price.
