Many appreciate its strong signal and the inclusion of Wi-Fi 6 technology. However, some users mention occasional connection issues and a higher price point as drawbacks. Concerns regarding the router's firmware and mobile application have also been raised by a few customers.

    I had a netgear ac2300 until it got hit by lightning and I thought this time around when purchasing a router I would upgrade to the latest technology. Reading through some of the reviews, it seems as if I'm not the only one who was experiencing connectivity issues with this router. My devices would pop in and out of wifi and sometimes they wouldn't even connect. This is my second time purchasing this router and will be my second time returning it. I've been netgear faithful for years now. I think its time to move on to something more reliable. I hope this review helps someone and I hope your experience is better than mine.

    Works great. Was worried it wouldn’t cover a 3 story home but it definitely covers everything and then some.

    I had a big router and two extenders. With the Nighthawk I was able to get rid of an extender. I had to keep one to beam to my detached house. Sturdy, stable and out of sight, this router has proven well worth the money. I am not taking advantage of the cloud capabilities or sophisticated advances built in. Just plus, change all the passwords, and go. The alternative was to use a mesh network, but the powerful Nighthawk did just fine.

    Ahead of its time

    It's ahead of its time. The technology doesn't communicate well with existing tech. Most phones, game systems, and computers will not be able to locate the signal, unless you dumb it down by turning off the very thing that makes it so expensive. At that point, why pay for that much router? i returned mine.

    Set up was very easy until I launched Safari. I apparently had an wifi connection but Safari would not connect to the internet. I called the geek squad and of course the guy could not or would not help me over thx phone. He wanted to schedule a technician to visit my house to troubleshoot the problem. Not sure if he was inexperienced but I decided to return the router instead of deal with the hassle.
