    I am very satisfied with this router. Easy to install with the phone app. Just use your old router name and password and all your devices will be connected. The only problem I had was connecting my HP Envy printer. It took 6 hours for the printer to connect. I searched and others have had that same problem with HP's.

    My ISP offered to upgrade my internet speed. From experience setting up my mom’s internet, I knew the ISP provided router was garbage. I read some reviews and picked this Nighthawk. It has been a dream come true. Better range than my previous router and the WIFI6 technology holds up.

    Purchased the Netgear Nighthawk AX5300 Dual-Band Wi-Fi Router when my previous router bit the dust. A little pricy but so far it's been worth every penny. Set up was a breeze!

    My old router was getting long on the tooth and slowing down a lot. Did a little research and this router hit a sweet spot for price and functionality. Its performance is exceptional, my throughput is great all over the house.

    With the sale price of the unit on black Friday you really can't beat the performance of this unit. Though I miss the fact that Netgear is no longer using circle for internet control and filtering. That was a big draw for me to Netgear.

    This router has helped so much. There are several people in my house who work on vpns and stream nearly constantly and our old router cut out all the time. This hasn't once, and it is much faster. It has been a great purchase!

    Netgear Nighthawks are great. Very easy setup. This unit replaced my Nighthawk from about 4-5 years ago. My speed has more than tripled. Linked right up to the app, which I used with the previous unit, so mad everything a snap.
