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.

    $300 bucks on sale. Brought it home and set it up. Didn’t work very well and returned it to get another one. The 2nd one was a little bit better but my devices still have problems from 25’. Bought the fancy Netgear Mesh extender for almost $200 bucks and set it up. My ring camera in my driveway disconnects daily because the connection sucks even with the mesh extender between the router and camera. My 10 year old apple AirPort Extreme works better than these new Netgears. Not impressed and $500 down the drain. Thank you Bestbuy for being so helpful making it right by swapping and returning these. Next step - call Netgear on Monday so they can help before I return these to bestbuy.

    Love NETGEAR, however this wifi router didn’t not work with most of my home tech items. Wireless speakers, door locks and security had issues or just not compatible. If they fix or fixed the issues, I would purchase.

    I returned this router after a week. It repeatedly dropped connections regardless of how I changed the settings. Went back to my old 2 channel, 1900 modem and it works great

    I constantly have to reboot this router and its extender, as it will just drop connections. I've kept it up to date on firmware, but does not seem to help.
