    This router works great and allows me to connect with my 2.4gz items as well. The only thing I can say bad about this router is it is quite large. Not a big deal for me but some may not like its size.

    I needed a router with good distance since my room is upstairs and i work from home so the speed was really need to keep up with my work computer. I had the spectrum router and that just wasn't cutting it. i even had a extender and it wasn't enough. Bought the Netgear and HUGE difference in speed and distance. very happy with this so far.

    I needed to replace a problem Nighthawk AX4200 router and was leery of buying another Nighthawk, but found the features of the AX5300 superior to those offered by competitors. So far I am very pleased with the AX5300 though I have had it only for a week. Its smooth set up and consistantly fast connectivity has restored my appreciation for Netgear products.

    Solid router for up to 1500sq ft of living space. It can easily handle 20 devices wirelessly without slowing down. Recommend turning off smart connect for dedicated 5ghz network. I took off a star because the nighthawk app is pretty basic.

    After trying everything to get out internet running as best it can we decided to purchase a nice new router, and let me tell you, it was the best decision. All we had to do was connect it to our att router and when we ran the internet speed on our devices it was finally at the rates we were paying att for.
