    The router was very easy to set up. It took about 15 minutes. I love that it also can be managed via an app on your phone and you can see who is trying to access your Wi-Fi. It truly helped with e-learning for my children and my home office. Before upgrading to this router, my son would not be able to stay on ZOOM without connection issues. Now we are all able to function smoothly and get things done.

    Finally went to just streaming. We were experiencing buffering with tv shows and especially with movies. We took the plunge and bought this nighthawk router. Best decision since cutting the cable tv. Easy set up and no more buffering!!

    Bought the AX5400 router to replace an older Netgear router that was intermittently dropping my internet connection. This one has been great and has more range which has allowed me to watch HD streaming in a remote bedroom that my previous router had problems delivering. After a few minutes of setup it has performed flawlessly.

    I bought this after returning an Asus AC3100 (kept losing connection to devices in the house constantly had to reboot it). I've had the AX5400 hooked up for over a month now and not one reboot, I've had multiple switches, phones, playstationsplaystations, laptops and TVs connected and no slow speeds. It's been a number of years since I'd owned a Netgear but I'm very happy with this one.

    Easy to setup. Thankfully it worked first time. Legitimately covers every room in our 2200 SF home, including ring doorbell. No problem streaming tv, surfing internet, etc, at same time. Love the router, Unfortunately no longer would connect to internet after 3 weeks. After Tech support troubleshooting had to exchange it. Going to give it another try.

    Set up was super easy and took very little time. The router is centrally located in my 2000+ sq. ft. home and provides great coverage throughout and strong coverage into the backyard and in front of the house. The app gives plenty of flexibility and control over the router. Excellent purchase

    Set up was a breeze with the Nighthawk ap. Only took a few minutes to set up. Ap took a little bit longer to download. Our home is 3200 sq foot with many wireless devices. Everything seems to be working great. Love the control you have to disconnect or reconnect devices at your finger tips.

    I found myself in the market for a new router when I found myself having to manually reset my prior one multiple times per day. After reviewing router specifications at length, I determined that I needed to invest in Wifi 6 (802.11ax) and that I needed a router with expanded range. I have a 1700 sq. foot ranch and found out the hard way that my prior budget router (that I had purchased for about $100) was unable to support streaming in our bedroom at the other end of our home. With this new router, my signal is strong (full bars) in the bedroom, I haven't been kicked offline once no matter how many devices we've used simultaneously, and I'm getting three times the wifi MBPS that I was on my prior router with my wifi 6 devices. While this router was a tad pricey, I definitely got what I paid for.

    I’ve had this router for about a month and it’s amazing. The set up was really smooth and I love the mobile app. It lets you see all of the devices on your network and gives you the option for guest WIFI so you don’t need to give out your WiFi password. All of my devices now work better than ever, just buy this router!

    I had an old netgear nighthawk that put in about 5 years of solid work. Recently it started just dropping the internet, so i upgraded to this beauty. This router has consistently & smoothly delivering mbps of prime internet. No drops & all my smart devices operate ever so efficiently.

    My 2nd nighthawk, the R7000 lasted me a long time. This one provides great coverage for my 1300 sq ft home, as well as allowing full use of my gigabit fios connection. The router is great, but the netgear app is terrible, lacking many features that the router admin page offers.

    Upgraded from a 5 year old Netgear Wifi router to this one because of the demands on streaming with working from home, kids schooling from home and all the streaming off Netflix et al. I tried an ASUS earlier this year and THAT WAS A DISASTER - so after some research and decision between a mesh and central wifi -> I went with the Netgear.

    We have struggled for years to connect all our devices for our family of 4 throughout our 2,600 Square Foot Home; especially with the addition of distance learning due to COVID-19. Well, the NETGEAR Nighthawk AX5400 has done it flawlessly - plus the set-up was EASY!

    I'm a digital media professional, and this router was just what I needed for super fast uploading and downloading, and getting the most out of my high speed internet line. Plus, I have several people in my household gaming and streaming, so splitting traffic on the two frequencies really helped too. Very easy to setup and get back to work.

    Picked this up black Friday & switched out my aging router over Christmas vacation. This was so easy & no problems. Kept the same user name & password as the old one & about half my devices stayed connected, the others just needed to be re-input. So far no buffering at all.

    I’ve had this router for a month or so. I upgraded after my Nighthawk X6 AC3200 went bad following a power outage. This thing has performed leagues better than the AC3200. With the WiFi 6 integration, my internet speeds are lighting fast anywhere in our house, and it has been unbelievably reliable.
