    When I connected the router I had a DOS attack. I believe that was caused by the external IP address from my ISP. Working with my ISP, we weren't able to stop the DOS attack. Second issue, I had issues with the speed coming form the routers port. The speed going into the router was 386MB but the speed coming out the ports was 15MB. I call Netgear, but their Tech support was not that great. After a few days, I removed the router and reinstalled the router provided by my ISP. The DOS attack stop because I was assigned a new external IP address. My speeds returned to 425MB into the router and out the ports.

    If you're into an expensive, lackluster router, this is the one for you. The app/interface is inconsistent at best, why does it need to take 2-3 minutes just to connect to the router? Constantly reboots or drops connection for no reason. Netgear support is worthless. Asked them for a refund or replacement and they are not able to, even though I only bought this 2 months ago.

    Terrible product. Took several hours to get set up. Changes the custom passwords back to default randomly. Devices like printers have to be constantly reconnected because when they go into sleep mode they fall off the network. The app is horrible—just don’t use it.

    I had high hopes for the Nighthawk, boy was I let down. I upgraded from an older Orbi system that was consistently giving me 900 download. Upgraded my xFinity to 1.2 gig and needed to upgrade router/wifi. No matter what I do I can't get more than 400. You have got to be kidding me, and the App is horrible, constantly crashes or can't find the router, speed test crashes app. Overall disgusted with the Nighthawk platform. Will be returning to BB. Just ordered the AX6000 Orbi system and hope things fair better.
