    This was a great purchase for the price. I have a 2500 sq ft 2 story home with 5 kids living at home. My wife works from home also, so we have 20+ device connected to the router at any given time with this router all the devices run great with great download and streaming speeds. Love this new router.

    Purchased this for my 2600sq. ft. home when I had 1Gb fiber installed. Coverage for whole home is great, download speed is about as good as can be expected over WiFi, has great customization and advanced settings, does security scans of devices added and can block bad websites. Love it.

    Nighthawk AX 5400 WiFi Works Great

    I just set up an AX5400 router in my new home. We were having coverage and speed problems with the router our Internet provider included with their modem. The new home was designed to be totally wireless, so the load on the WiFi router is significant. TVs, computers, phones, thermostats, garage door opener, security system and even the lawn irrigation system operate through the Nighthawk. The incoming download speed is 400 Mbps from the provider and even in the most remote locations in the house we are getting over 100 Mbps, which is plenty of speed to handle our needs.

    We had a Netgear 15 and a booster and were constantly not getting internet in certain rooms. Or if someone else tried to get on in the same room they couldn’t get the signal. With this Netgear 18 we get great a signal throughout the house, even in the basement. No need for a booster. Setup was easy and we’re all thrilled.

    Got this to connect my ps5 to wifi, since my modem was at the other end of my house. I connected it to a xfinity xfi pod wired and would say i got around 400 mbps. It still wasnt a very stable connection but it work so far. Dont expect to play call of duty wirelessly because that is the only game you definitely need to be hardwired to play online. It is an easy setup and you can the game boost feature to prioritize a device.

    Bought this to replace our 8 year old Nighthawk router, performs exactly the same, flawless. Has a huge coverage area and streams all 20+ of our devices perfectly. Easy set up, took all of about 5 minutes to have it up and running.

    I had a bit of a problem navigating the interface, after being used to using an AC 1750 for years but once I managed to get all the devices input everything seems to be working flawlessly and speed seem to be an improvement.
