We upgraded our old gateway to this router paired with a modem from our ISP. My family is impressed by the faster speeds and increased range over our old model. This works well for our 1500sf home. Would recommend!

Had the router for a month and it's provided much better signal all around the house. The blink doorbell has much better signal now.

Its definitely better than the router it replaced, however the 2.4ghz seems to be pretty bad. Note: i live in a singlewide trailer that is 56ft. The router is almost dead center. For whatever reason the speed and connectivity is completely unstable in my master bedroom. 5ghz works perfectly there and further. I primarily upgraded for the processor and the fact it advertises to handle more devices than my previous. All in all its a decent up to date router.
We'd greatly appreciate any additional feedback if the steps provided helped to resolve the issue you are experiencing. Please reach out to us at [email protected] with your contact information, and we will be happy to help you.

Great product with insanely fast speeds. My townhouse is about 1,600 sq ft and I have no issues in any part of the house. I like to game and get pretty competitive, and this router has been incredible. Zero lag and smooth connection. Also, the app gives you control over your connected devices and super simple to use.

After buying this and taking it home, I had to call netgear to walk me through setting it up. Once it was up and running it was great. Faster than my old one, Takes up less space.

Honestly didn't expect much. Old router died and it was on sale. I was pushed towards a app to setup but was able to do so directly and not have to setup an account. I was getting decent speeds but nothing great. All devices were able to connect without issue. Later I noticed increased speed as it adjusted to the best channel which was great. The firmware updated automatically so that was good as well. Overall, very happy with the purchase.

The physical part of setting it up was easy. But there are other parts of the setup that are NOT intuitive or obvious and require going online, but that's not mentioned in the instructions nor does it automatically happen. So just call customer service upfront to walk you through it and save yourself the grief of missing a step. And make sure you have something to take notes on. You'll be glad you did.
Otherwise, I really like the router, and I had no idea that they actually got worse over time and I needed to replace it. Much better now.

all though I'v used Netgear through out the years, I had trouble with this one using the app to set it up. end results talk to support for 1 1/2 hrs to get it up and running. He told me to ck if I could get on the internet and sitting in front of my laptop I got on and said thanks. Tried to get the tv and no luck. Frustration set in at that time and and I put the old one back so I could get back on line.
Lesson when you can't get on line. ck what network your on, may be it wasn't the router and the difficulty I had with the set up, was me in the end but still hard to set up with the app.
To be fair I needed support 2 times with the router I have now . Apps that are buggy will drive you crazy,also Googles ai gave me a generic answer, close but !!!

Great buy! Stellar coverage and speeds for the price point, combined it with a nighthawk range extender to cover the whole house in speeds comparable to what I get from a hardline. Set up was also easy peasy. Works flawlessly with my spectrum internet

Easy setup. Fast internet both upload and download. Increased upload speed by almost 10x over older nighthawk. Provides adequate signal strength to reach basement corner from opposite end of 42' first floor location. Eliminated need for signal extender.

Works great and love that it is a standable router. Did have a little bit of trouble setting it up, but nothing that would keep me from buying again.

I was having trouble with the equipment from t-mobile providing adequate coverage and was experiencing a lot of signal drop out. I got this to replace their gear and it was extremely easy to setup, and also covers the whole house without any mesh access points needed. Really like the app that goes along with it as well and the ability To setup Guest WiFi!

My old 12+ year old router finally breathed its last breath recently. It kept going in and out with the connection, and it frustrated me. Once it died, I drove over to Best Buy and bought a Nighthawk router at a very good price. My living space isn't big, so I knew I didn't need to upgrade with greater signal range. I got what I paid for, and it was awesome. My router was extremely easy to set up, and had very few parts in the box for me to physically assemble. I used to set up routers purely through ethernet connection to my PC, but this time I did it with the Nighthawk app via my phone. I was amazed at how much technology has changed since 12+ years ago, because of how convenient & quick the digital setup process was. And as soon as I got all my devices configured with the new network & password, my whole house was running on full steam again, faster than before.
