    Needed a new router and this has not disappointed. The companion app is easy to use and managing my network has been super simple. Has great Wi-Fi range and my Internet speeds have not been affected by many devices being in use at the same time.

    Firmware is horrible if you need to use in bridge mode. The unit has great signal strength and speed. If you only need standard mode it is a decent product.

    Great router for my smart home. With over 40 devices including HD cameras, TVs, and a gaming console this router handles it all with nero dropped connections or slowdowns. Overall a great product for smart homes, gaming, streaming, you name it!

    Okay so this router does not get the advertised speeds unless properly setup. And that does take some tweaking in the admin portal/ calling your internet provider and getting them to help as well. The setup process is not easy either. But after the headache it works pretty well and consistently

    They have a new Netgear Nighthawk app .I much prefer the Netgear Genie app that can be run by a computer or phone. The Nighthawk app is meant for average user, the Genie app allows s’more experienced user to customize more settings.

    Not as cut and dry to set up coming from another netgear router , but I am not real savy at these things so it might have been me . but with a little patience I got it going . Almost doubled my speeds from the Nighthawk R7000 .

    Super sonic speedFor all my devices I have about 14 devices in my home in my last one was struggling to give me a good speed. After I install this in combination with the Netgear CM 1100 cable modem I haven’t had any issues. No drop connections. I like the night Hawk up as well

    Easy to install, especially while using the app. The app also has a test feature to make sure your internet is running well, it saves the data so you can review it or share it with your provider.

    The setup was a breeze, the app is very useful, and the performance is fantastic! I now have strong WiFi throughout my house and across my large back yard. So far, I am also liking the added protection from the Netgear Armor add-on.

    This router made a significant improvement to all devices in the household - did not 'bog down' as anyone additional signed on to use the internet - gave the same service with one on it or multiple users at the same time.

    I was excited when this router just came out. With AX wifi 6 and only $150, that’s not to bad. The bad thing about this router is most of the settings are disabled by default. When you turn them on then you get slow connection.

    I had the previous version of this and worked great for the first year and a half. Not sure what happened but quit working-decided to give them another go and the signal is stronger and can reach my patio area and my entire house.
