Customer Ratings & Reviews

Proformas as advertised. No issues with the set up. Once set up I've had a strong internet signal. The app the connects to the router is easy to use.

Bought this several months ago and it has been ok except for one big issue. Good signal and easy to set up. The major negative part? When I lose power and try to reconnect my router to my spectrum modem, the router says I don't have an internet when I actually do. The red internet indicates no internet, and many times even after I go through the rebooting process for the router and the modem, I get the same error. This seems to be a consistent issue with this line of Netgear routers. A lot of people are reporting this issue on the internet, and it seems the only solution from Netgear is to reset/reboot the router and modem, and update the firmware. Well, An updated firmware hasn't been released for some time, and rebooting/resetting would work if the router operated like it should. Very frustrating. May have to reconsider going back to Linksys.

The setup of the router was fast and easy. The instructions were clear and concise. Great user friendly app that shows network speed, network users, and loads of other useful information. Highly recommended to all my family and friends.

So far the Nighthawk has been reliable and has a good range. We are able to easily connect to the internet from the farthest point in our backyard which is 300' long. I recommend this router to anyone who has FIOS but does not want to buy or rent the one Verizon offers.

The router was easy to set up. You can set it up manually but they do suggest you use the Night Hawk app. Resetting the original password was easy as well. Overall I'm happy with the router so far. It's powerful and a bit more compact compared to my previous one.

Bought this router to replace a 7 year old netgear router that I thought was going bad. Turns out it was an issue with my internet but I am glad I updated as this one seems to have better range and speed

I am not well versed in routers, so all I can say is this one came highly recommended to me by peers, retail employees, and random internet articles. And it HAS NOT disappointed. The East Coast is plug and play. When I lived in Philly, DC, Atlanta, and Miami I just let the provider install a box and I was good to go. After moving back to the Midwest recently I found out that I needed a router for one reason or another. I guess there is no fiber here and Spectrum doesn’t send them, or I didn’t opt for one. Regardless my wife and I landed with the Uhaul and I needed to get her internet access for work ASAP and following the MANY recommendations I saw for the Nighthawk did not lead me astray. I am very happy with my purchase - exceeds expectations and looks cool.

The router that my internet provider is always up and down, so I got fed up and bought my own router. The speeds on this router are amazing. I have an L shaped single story 1600sq ft house, and the entire house gets a great signal from this router. I definitely recommend this if you are looking for an updated router.

This Wifi 6 enabled router is awesome! The 1Gbps speeds coming through my router are in no way throttled coming through the router! The nighthawk companion app is easy to use and feature rich!! You can't go wrong with this router..!!!

Upgraded from an older model of the same brand. The old one was awesome. Impressed with the speed increase over the older model. Setup is easy, just make sure the network on your computer or phone is set to the new router. Highly recommend router,

Great router. Using with Spectrum cable Internet. Love the ability to manage/schedule specific device access, as well as the ability to disable WiFi on a schedule. Performance is great as well. Definitely recommend this to others. Note: I'm not sure what happened, but I kept getting errors while trying to setup using the app (as per directions). For some reason it would not pickup an IP address via DHCP from the Spectrum Cable modem. Ultimately had to connect to the web configuration interface via laptop browser to get it working. After rebooting both router and modem about 4 times, when I logged back into the configuration portal through the browser, it magically picked up an IP from Spectrum. It was all smooth sailing after that. No idea why it didn't work after first reboot.

I'm so happy with my new router, I just had to give it five stars. It did however replace a 20 yr old Netgear router (I kid you not), so I suppose I had no where to go but up! Seriously, I've got great range, steady streaming and an easy install!

One of the best For its price and everything included this router is fantastic and it comes with a year of the security and it is fast too it brought my speed up from 50 mbps to 600 mbps

This works great with my wired spectrum. So much better speed than my old one. The coverage is great too. Even reaches in the basement (not top speed but way better than no signal with the old one). I love the app that goes with it too!!

We spoke with a sales associate about our internet problems andthis is what he sugested. So far we have been very pleased with not only the speeds, but the stabilityof our home wifi. It was a fairy easy setup. Would definately recomend.

I went in search of a new router when my second Linksys bit the dust. BestBuy helped me pick out this one. I couldn't be more pleased as the setup was extremely easy. The router is very fast as well. And so far so good.

I liked the fact that it was easy to setup. My parents old router took a crap and so they wanted a new one. It took about 15 minutes to set up and connect all of their devices to and has some pretty great speeds.

Great speed, easy to setup via web browser or the Netgear app on a smartphone. I love the fact the Nighthawk app has a speed test and a wifi strength feature built-in.

Wow - what a difference now in our wifi upload and download speeds. We couldn't be happier and this was so EASY to set up thanks to the walk-through instructions. Thank you NETGEAR!

Strong router signal. Currently using it as a router downstream of a Spectrum router and its working really well! It has strong range and the Nighthawk app is really well formatted.
