Customer Ratings & Reviews

The setup was fairly easy but I've had two problems. I can't get my legacy console to work with this router and I'm having trouble setting up the Guest option.

Excellent router easy to install works great highly recommend this product

Works very well, easy to set up. Nice design, I like the mobile app.

Installation was fairly easy, but you have no idea what the best placement/direction works best for the antennas unless you download/read the manual and notice there is a single comment to one of the graphics saying it should look like this picture. I had poor range (no signal in an adjacent bedroom) and I was trying to correct that by pointing them toward that room (Total distance device to device was only 16 feet.) The antennae rotate and the picture in the manual shows them straight up so I tried that. Didn't help. Eventually moved to a different part of the room. Works now. Don't think I should have that problem at such a close distance. This is not a cheap router. My house is only 1209 square feet! Shouldn't be a problem. Speed is adequate. The "Armor" security and tech support they provide is a trial version. Have to pay for it monthly &/or yearly if you want what they start you on. Didn't want to return since I had put all my info in. Do not recommend.

Best router to date instantly no lag in games and faster WiFi connection.

Excellent the router is the best. The signal is powerful

Fast assembly, phone app was good for setting up, entire start to finish was less than 20minutes, including downloading the app. Have your information ready, (channel names,passwords). The armor protection is added bonus if you want.

Everything I wanted it to be. This was simple to set up and surpassed all my expectations.

It work great for about 1 year and then it started to have connectivity issues

Works great i have WiFi outside now and i love it works as it should

Good router for the money. Found this on sale and it works well and gives me the range and power I needed.

Love this router. I can control it from work. Able to hook my PS5 into it. It also protects against websites that is trying to steal my data.

SLOW. While the internally tested internet speed showed 940 mbps and the modem/router combo running .ac bandwidth gave 500+ mbps via 5Ghz wifi, this tested far below 200 mbps, sometimes only 120 mbps on its 5Ghz channel, with all devices within a few feet of the router. I tested it on a Windows laptop, a Macbook, and an iphone, and it dropped from 300-500+ mbps on the internet company's Arris gateway/router to only 150 mbps on the Nighthawk. I did the testing repeatedly because I just couldn't believe it. I have an ASUS AX mesh system at another house and it easily runs at 250 mbps+ all through the house up to 400+ right by the base and this thing can't even break 200 when the devices are practically on top of it. They tried to make it easy to setup using their app but it just made the whole process extremely slow. I'll stick with ASUS, UBIQUITI, or pretty much any other brand from now on.

Love this router easy to setup and lot of information on the top regarding status. Love the dual band!

This router is a great one! It supplies strong WiFi throughout my house and even a little bit outside!

This knight hawk is the best WiFi I have ever purchased. Made my WiFi so strong with 300mb incoming service my speed test went up to 334 mb all my problems went away love this product.

I was having no issues with this router up until this past week and now it just seems like its happening every day. I constantly am waking up in the morning and the wifi will be out and the lights are still indicating a connection. This prompts me to have to reset the router. Of course this only happens once a day if I am lucky, if not it will happen 3-4 times a day (yesterday 4-29-2021). Now I am well past my return date and I am sitting here with a really expensive router that functions most of the time but I always have to live in fear that it will suddenly malfunction. This doesn't help when I work from home and need to have internet available. It is starting to affect my job.

Fast give me fast downloads times and everything works great

So far so good. The Nighthawk is supporting all my devices.

I am no stranger to networking and I've owned a plethora of Netgear extenders and routers over the years. In the Nighthawk family I've owned the AC1750, 1900, and 2600 (flawless). I decided to upgrade to AX and install AX wifi cards in my three laptops. I gave my 2600 to my nephew after purchasing the RAX4200--HUGE MISTAKE. This router cannot maintain a 5g connection at all. The disconnects are nonstop no matter what channel is used. Firmware upgrades and downgrades did nothing. 2.4ghz worked fine, but I stream and game on 5g and that was where the problems came nonstop. Terrible product. After the most recent disconnect while streaming music I gave up and instantly purchased the ASUS AX3000 that was sittting in my shopping list on Amazon. Best decision ever. That router is flawless and EVERY issue I had using the RAX4200 went away--go figure. Sorry Netgear, but you are going to lose the race putting out these inferior, unstable new routers.
