    Easy setup, no issues.. EXCEPT and this is a Google Nest & Amazon Alexa Show/Spot issue. Do not use the Auto Band selector on this router for, your device mentioned above will keep having connecting issues. According to Google and Amazon, they are aware of this and they will have a fix soon. This happened on my previous great router from Netgear. I got this when it was on sale for $100 off. Very Happy with this router.

    Have had this for over a year and its been the best I've owned. The app makes it easy to check internet speeds as well as what is connected to my wifi. Could use a few more plug ins for hard wired but it fulfills all my smart home interent needs. Several itrms are connected and I've had no issues.

    Seriously Netgear, you have to be better than this? I bought this on the promise that it was WIFI 6 and could handle many devices and a larger home. We have a few smart plugs, two Apple Tvs, multiple Ipads, a few computers. Nothing crazy. This Netgear has been the worst router I have ever owned. Drops connection to Internet and devices all the time. I am running the latest firmware. I know this to be a Netgear problem as others are complaining like crazy about the random firmware bugs in each new firmware release causing this very issue. I would stay away until Netgear gets their act together. I may have to return it which is too bad because when it actually works, it is great.

    I went into Best Buy. I needed a new router. Judging by how this one looked I knew for sure it was the best one that ever was. Sure enough some dude there was like yea it’s new technology that nasa used to form 5g with Verizon. Let me tell you I never had better quality WiFi and now the aliens talk to me loud and clear.
