My house now so better before we don't have this .

There was not a thing wrong with it works perfectly.

I upgraded my old Netgear router with the new nighthawk ax5300 and I am very pleased. Before I needed an extender to get a signal across my house. Since I put in this one I have put the extender away.

This solved my slow connection speed. I subscribe to a 250MB service with my Wi-Fi 5 router I was getting about 167MB download speeds. Now with this Wi-Fi 6 router I'm getting around 297MB D/L speeds.

The Geeks came in and set it up for us. Then they connected all our devices. We were really surprised to see the increase in the speed of our internet when it was all set up. We are really pleased.

This router was so easy to setup and instantly made me feel like I had a more secure network overall. First unboxing was quick and easy, the packaging was protecting the device perfectly because it’s a router, there isn’t a lot of extra bulk. Once open and I had everything out, the quick setup card had me downloading the Netgear Nighthawk app. Once I opened the app, it immediately began walking me through the device installation. First it was the physical install, screwing on the four antennas, plugging in power and finally connecting your incoming network cable. Because I have an ATT router providing my existing wireless, I disabled that part within its settings before doing the installation to ensure there was no interruption due to duplicate network names. I wanted to be sure my new router had the same wi-fi name and security so that everything reattached without any trouble. As I progressed, the Nighthawk software checked for a firmware update which there was and it only took a couple of minutes. Once done, it restarted and I was back in business. I can’t say enough about how good the setup and configuration was. It was the easiest I have experienced to date. Connectivity has been solid. No drops, instant connections for all of the 25+ devices in my house that use it and the signal is very strong on each floor. I placed this one on the main level and even in the furthest corner away from the router on the second level, and it hasn’t even felt like there was any separation. With my AT&T router, it provided wi-fi from the second floor to the main level and basement, at times it was not very strong and we would lose connectivity. This router has made a significant difference and provides all of the signal strength you could ask for. Lastly, the app is extremely useful. It helps you determine where you have device vulnerabilities by scanning them as they’re added to the network and then providing the necessary information on how to remediate it. It tells you the current device connection count and if you can potentially install the included Bitdefender Security onto them. This additional feature will mostly be available for your phones, tablets and computers and is good for a year. In my opinion, you shouldn’t pass this one up. If you are looking to update your wi-fi infrastructure and boost your wireless connection signal strength and speed along with security, this is definitely a great choice!

Purchased for a basin in a rural area. It has signal strength through most days. My only con is that the antennas have caught on multiple items when working int he area where I placed it. I have limited space so something more compact would be helpful.

Good unit. Little difficulties in completely setting it up after install. I would've like a bit more abilities to ensure protection of ports, etc. Gives regular updates as to protection of system. Runs checks anytime a device is added.

Not as good as I thought it would be. Signal strength is excellent in one room and go next door less than ten feet and signal strength is fair.

Bought this a month ago to use with our spectrum internet. Disconnects all the time from modem. Goes down more than the spectrum router did. Returning product do to all those issues.

Morning crazy, just a solid choice for WiFi 6 functionally

I was warned that you can use it, but you have to see whether your internet carrier is in a Zone 6. I'm in a Zone 5 area and this product is in a Zone 6. It might be years before your area is updated to a Zone 6. I was told Zone 5 areas can use it, but not to it's potential.

Would not work in my network. I made this the lead router with a 1 TB HDD on the USB port. This unit could not index the drive contents beyond about 20% of the file names.

For the most part the setup was easy using the App. The process was difficult getting past a certain point in the setup but it was probably my own fault.

No complaints have at home and office. Would buy another

Product doesn't deliver the way I expected considering the name brand is NET GEAR. Coaxil driven is better than using the ethernet connection. Poor wi-fi signal distribution...on and off and weak.

Works ok not what i excepted the range not long enough

I have needed an upgrade for awhile. after setting this up, I am taking full advantage of my internet speed. LONG OVERDUE! True upgrade!

Purchased in order to get better WI-FI coverage. Not only provides better coverage, but upload and download speeds have improved.

Great coverage. Nighthawk app is great. Very very steady connections to all devices
