    Great when it's working. Wi-Fi drops the internet connection at least once every other day for a few minutes and then starts working again on it's own. Meanwhile all my wired devices continue working without a problem. Netgear support hasn't been any help. I'd return it if I wasn't past the return date. Skip this router.

    The only negative I really have is that it feels as if it is overheating at times other than that works very good lives up to the hype.

    Maybe an ok product but this baby RUNS SUPER HOT. My first on stopped working 3 months after purchased. I was upset after staying on phone with 4 different techs from phone being cut of because they don’t understand that unplugging all they say to unplug will cut most people’s phone off in the bundle package say spectrum sells. Then after determine it was faulty I had to pay for returned shipping! What a JIP....

    Strong signal and easy to use. Wireless worked good for me if I only use it for 5.0 ghz but is mostly worthless if mixed with 2.4 ghz specifically with older protocols. Bought it April, dead by June. I was expecting better things from Netgear. Completely disappointed.

    This Wi-Fi 6 router provides the necessary performance and throughput for today’s latest devices. With this router I’m maximizing the speed of my Wi-Fi network, achieving over Wi-Fi the same speed my Internet provider offers over ethernet (500Mbps). A must needed router for those with smart homes, video game consoles, tablets, smart TVs and computers under the same roof. If you own a device with Wi-Fi 6 capabilities, this router is the right one for you.
