    Got this for a half price special. Very good deal and works great! It was very easy to set up with the nighthawk app. This is the 4th WiFi router I installed on my network and it has the furthest reach of any of my other ones from almost anywhere in my home. I have a large home and now can enjoy great WiFi everywhere.

    I absolutely love this router! It brought out the full potential of my modem speed and the coverage is amazing around my 2,700 sq ft home. Bought mine at Best Buy and it was super easy to install with the app. I highly recommend this router for people who use a lot of wifi devices.

    The NETGEAR NightHawk AX5200 is the perfect compliment to my high speed internet. I recently upgraded my internet speed to 1GB download and the Nighthawk easily handles the speeds given. The setup process is near flawless. I am impressed and satisfied with this purchase. Thank you!

    This router is a massive upgrade from my 10+ year old Asus. No more random disconnects with our streaming and mobile devices. It was half off for Cyber week and at that price, it's a steal. Pretty easy to set up and has lots of advanced features I probably won't ever touch.

    This was easy to install using the app. This replaced my router that was 8 years old, and so this far more sophisticated than what was replaced. I am very happy that it is far more powerful and worth the cost. My internet is faster and more efficient. I purchased at Best Buy for discounted price of 150. Thank you

    Quick and easy setup thanks to the mobile app. WiFi speeds and signal is fast because it has WiFi 6. I have always used net gear and it has never let me down and I’m sure this one won’t either. :) if your for a router that can cover almost your whole house this is the router to check out. It has incredible range.

    The nighthawk AX5200 Router works great. I was having dead spot around the house with the router that my ISP sent me, so I did some research and came across this new router. At the time of purchase the price was great, I wish router were not so expensive. This ax5200 is easy to set up and the app is awesome.

    At first setting this bad boy up gave me a few issues. For example wifi would drop out or not produce high speeds. However after tinkering with the settings everything works great and my wifi speeds have improved as well as the signal strength inside our home.

    When Best Buy was offering a sale, this was impossible to pass-up. WiFi 6 devices in our host are even faster, and the range is so much better than the Google WiFi unit we were using before. It definitely requires a bit more set-up, but it is more than worth it for the increased speed on your network.

    Overall good performance and easy to install. We ran into a problem with an older laptop and it took us several calls to various help desks to finally find out we had an obsolete wireless card and had to buy another device. All is now working fine.

    I've had this 5 months now; to upgrade and older model. I was surprised how easy it was to set up. Works great; haven't had any issues with it. It's at one end of the house but covers the entire house. I got it on a Best Buy Deal of the Day.

    Fast wifi 6 speed... i like the netgear app and how easily you can customize the settings. Wide coverage more than enough in our 2 bedroom apartment.. i even have signal in our parking lot. Only issue i have was it doesn’t have parental control.

    I recently upgraded my old wifi router to wifi 6 and so far I am very impressed. First of all with the app it was a very easy setup and I love that every time I added a new device the app would let me know. I would defiantly recommend this product to anyone that wants to get this model.

    I think this is just fine..... but it wasn't powerful enough for what i needed. I ended up getting a night hawk mesh system. It connect everything, and if you're close to it does a decent job with speed. I upgraded shortly after i got this, and now have a mesh system that is WAY FASTER. in the same room as this router my speed topped out at around 200 mbps. the same plan, same room with the AX1800 system gets me close to 600. So i'm not sure what the difference is. maybe this one doesn't have the horsepower of the mesh system, i had too many things connected for it to be efficent, but it wasn't the router the mesh system is in a small apartment / house i think this would be more than sufficent

    We were having issues with our Xbox’s lagging during multiplayer in the bedrooms. Nighthawk’s range out paces our old router and no more lag even with 4 Xbox’s all playing together and two other tvs streaming. Plus it looks cool.

    Fast speeds, easy setup. Range is lacking though. Fastest router ive had so far. Wish they offered free security like asus does though. Great black friday deal for around $150. I would have probably got an Asus but couldnt pass up the deal.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
