    The router seems to do well with the volume of devices we use, however I have been back and forth with Netgear about purchasing Armor and Parental controls after the trial period. They offer a very good introductory price but my credit card would not follow through. It would post $.01 and then nothing. My credit provider informed me that Netgear had not fully processed the payment. Maybe I can purchase after it goes back to full price! NOT1

    I ended up returning this product, though I do not think it was its fault. I decided on something with a further range and with a modem built it. For the few days I used it, it was fine except for interference: if you buy this, make sure it is not too close to other electrics!

    I have always had a hard time setting up a new router. This one was so easy and I highly recommend you buy this if you are technology setup insecure. It also boosted my internet speeds without having to pay my provider to increase them.

    Consistently high end performance. The router provided by my ISP kept dropping from 5ghz to 2.4ghz which debilitated my internet speed. The Nighthawk consistently stays at 5ghz and I get a consistent 230Mbps download speed.

    Needed to upgrade from the tp-link router which wasn’t getting the job done. Netgear is where it’s at. Strong signal on all three levels of my home for 11 difference devices including streaming TV’s.

    I was concerned about set-up, remembering how difficult it was to do so with the last router I bought years ago from another company. This was easy peasy. Downloaded the app, simple instructions to follow and it was done in less than 10 minutes. Yea!

    So far, great reliability for signal to all of my wireless devices. Setup was a little hard seeing as the router name and password from the factory was wrong, but after a little troubleshooting gort it up and going.

    This Nighthawk AX4000 router is the best we’ve had so far. We wanted the Nighthawk AX6000 but Best Buy salesman said they don’t know if they’re going to get more. So we bought it and so far so good.

    A really great upgrade from my ISP's provided router. It really helped smooth out the traffic for all devices connected to my network. No lags anymore when multiple people are streaming and gaming.

    Replaced my Google nest with this router. One of my Google pods died so I decided to shop for a new router. Great coverage in my 1900 Square foot home, and all my outdoor security cameras has a great connection. No streaming issues.
