    Excellent product. Store associate was very helpful and recommended this product after he understood my router needs. I was using an older router. The Netgear router improved the speed more than doubled. The Geek Squad installed the router and connected all of devices. A wonderful experience at great price!

    This router offers reliable high end performance and terrifically easy set-up. I bought this router to replace a competitor’s router that was always difficult to manage and stopped working after 18 months; this Netgear router is flat-out superior to my previous router.

    I did return this item since a router upgrade was not the correct diagnosis. However, I definitely plan to buy this exact model when I do. In my short experience, I enjoyed the security features and faster WiFi speeds I was able to obtain. It did not need to be restarted once and that was awesome! Also looks really cool!

    I bought this router back in 2021 and it is by far the best router I have purchased in a long time. I love the features of being able to control the router especially the feature of being able to block certain users on command. It greats coverage throughout my home. When using the nighthawk app it gives the user the ability to test wifi speeds, user control, password setup for regular SSID including guest network setup. In addition, there is a feature that allows the user to test wifi signal strength which is great for determining whether to use the 5G or 2.4G signal. I would highly recommend this product to others.

    This was the easiest thing I've ever set up. I'm a "senior citizen" and I had it up and running in less than 20 minutes. It covers the house and everything works.

    This a great all-house router. My wife has a computer on an upper floor of our house. This router provides excellent speed to her more distant devices. Advertised for coverage up to 5800 SF, it certainly provides the extended coverage we required.

    The product changed our home internet experience. I have been living with the stock ATT NVG589 for years. While the input speed from ATT is excellent and meets the 50mB upgrade speed I paid, the wifi in the home has been terrible especially with more use through school, work, streaming, etc. I then took the step to figure out how to fix this situation. After some research, I purchased this Nighthawk AX4200 model RAX43 and all I can say is WOW. I found the youtube videos of how to configure the ATT gateway for IP passthrough, disabling wifi, etc. We now have a very strong wifi signal throughout the house. First time in....forever. I highly recommend this router. The setup was painless and worked first time. I always am worried once I start messing with the wifi but definitely the right decision. Great product and I can always add the Orbis if is need to have additional meshes for even more wifi. You will be very happy with this product.

    Replaced my “fancy” araknis router. Extremely easy setup and perfect to hook up with my current switch. Getting 350 mbps from access points which is by far better than what I got from my old router. Five stars

    Prior to installing this router we would lose signal daily with our RING doorbell, as well as slow WiFi issues when more devices were on line. Not any more! Issue resolved even though my dear loving wife thought it was something else. Speaking with the IT expert at Best Buy convinced me this was the solution. It was also easy to substitute into my network and keep the same password. Highly recommend!
