    Reall Fast Router

    REALLY FAST ROUTER. Extremely Fast! I run at 500 mbps, my direct connect gets those same speeds and our three cell phones, two ipads, one laptop all get between 250 - 300mbps. When NetFlix is on or someone is playing Oculus, the Wifi speeds for those same devices never went down below 200. We are very satisfied with the speeds. As for installation, the Nighthawk app is very slow to work with. Please make sure to appropriate at least 2 hours of your time to figure it out. Due to the complex installation process, I rate it only 3 stars.

    Only been using the router for a couple of weeks because it was a Christmas gift but it has worked well so far and the setup was fairly easy using the Nighthawk app.

    I replaced an older wi-fi with this one. Wow what a difference, much better signal and for someone like myself that’s not computer savvy, it was the easiest setup I’ve ever done. I like it.

    Easy to setup. Had to use my browser to set up . Netgear Nighthawk would not work for some unknown reason. Other than that nice router for a medium size house. Signal penitrates walls and floors easily.

    Decided to get a separate router and modem for the first time, instead of renting a combined unit from the internet service provider. This has worked great for an apartment with many roommates and devices.

    Very easy setup, the app works well from phone also. One item I do really like is that the app shows all devices that are connected. This is helpful for security reasons.

    Did research on what routers to get and came upon this netgear. I am very proud of my purchase. Yes it is not cheap however it works perfectly on my setup. It was an upgrade from my aging gateway.

    Works Great, Doesn't Separate 2.4 & 5ghz channels

    Always like a solid Nighthawk product, my only quarrel is that for some reason in the nighthawk app you can't see which channel a devise is connected to (either 2.4 or 5 ghz). Previous routers would separate the channels and show which devices are connected to it. Also, while it shows a device is connected, like a smartphone, there is a secondary connection that shows up that says DEV-xx-xxx something or other. If you disable this, then internet will be disabled for the device even though the device is listed further down the list of connected devices. Otherwise a solid Netgear product.

    Easy setup. Fast networking speeds but internet connection sometimes stalls. Antenna connectors need to be more beefy. Two of the four on mine flops down no matter how much I tighten.
