    Wifi in every room

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Recently had my old router shut down completely so it was time for a new one. I explained to the Best Buy representative that I needed a router that would reach wifi in all corners of my two story apartment and he suggested this model. Not only does it work in every room, but it works fast! Before I needed two routers for my entire apartment, now it’s just this one. Love that I can access settings and test speeds through an app as well. Overall very pleased.

    Works like a dream with nighthawk app

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I purchased the RAX43 with CM1200 and getting way more out of my service now over spectrums loaner equipment. I’m glad I don’t have to rent their equipment anymore so again at least for me, this was very beneficial. Had a hiccup because I still had spectrum router connected but once I unplugged (wait for 10seconds) , and replugged NETGEARs equipment only, The app links everything and practically set everything up on its own. Definitely download nighthawk app it’s user friendly and provides many options to include added security to protect against hackers, this truly provides next level service for internet management. When it comes to internet NETGEAR has set the standard and I refuse to have anything less from now on…

    Fast and Easy set-up

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The setup process was incredibly easy with the phone app. As long as you have cellular data to download the app or maybe stop by the coffee shop to get it on your phone beforehand, or even use your old router, you'll have your new network up and running in no time. The signal has been very reliable. The connection point in my place is a little way away from my home office, so I was concerned the connection might be spotty and I would have to run a cable somehow, but I have been very pleased.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I have been using this product now for almost two weeks. It has been great so far. Love the app that comes with for the phone and the options it gives. Signal has been great and seems to process everything fast. I have several devices on the wifi, most is older equipment using newly acquired wifi adapters for two computers and an internet phone. Top notch product if you ask me :)

    By clearedasfiled I replaced my 6350 with this and it is easy to set up and reaches everywhere. Only thing I do not care for is the attempt to upsell a security subscription. I do not buy subscriptions to anything, thank you. :-)

    Best Signal

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    My last netgear router (the ac1700) was constantly dropping the 5ghz band. This router has amazing range, signal and hasn't dropped the 5ghz band. Amazing for fiber optic connected homes.
