Was a little frustrating to setup due to another unit I have in office. But once up & running it has been impressive.

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

Description: For it's price point, it's an excellent WiFi 7 router. I was already about to purchase it, but this particular model went on a black Friday special as well. As with most people, Internet service was starting to charge for equipment rental and as I like to keep monthly expenses down, I decided to get my own equipment again. Setup is easy and straightforward. I only had one big issue that wasn't on the router per se.
I spent around 5 hours on the phone and off trying to get service going through my new modem and router and determined the modem was just fine and wasn't the issue. The router just wouldn't connect to the Internet, wired or wireless. At first I could connect to the router through my cellphone. But shortly after, it would glitch out trying to load the router settings/setup page. I knew it was in the settings and I needed to change an address around, but couldn't access that. I told my ISP to turn back on the old modem/router(theirs) while I figured a solution. I plugged the old back in and wired the Netgear into it. Within seconds, the app notified me that it changed the address to match the providers service. Then it started to update the firmware. After giving it a bit, I reconnected it and everything was working. My ISP is Optimum by the way
My advice to anyone else is to just plug it into your current service if you can and let it update and possibly alter any settings it needs to automatically so you don't need to have a goose chase like I did.

I moved and needed to provide my own router. When I couldn't find my old Netgear, I decided to buy a new one. And I know... old tech doesn't keep up. But I'm glad I got this new router with WiFi 6, it's so much faster than the WiFi 5 that my other provider came with. I use it with my roommate in a 1,200 sq ft apartment. We both can stream movies or work from home with no latency issues. I think it's a great choice for the price.

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.

Bought this to replace a 3 y/o router that was being discontinued with support. Does what I need it to do, so far so good.
Only problem is that Netgear firmware doesn't allow devices on the guest network to see each other without allowing them to see your personal network.

I bought mine for $120. It was $99 the next day on Netgear. The new RS100 is also now available for the same price. Needed my cell phone and a QR scanner to set it up. Also my LAN light is red but I don't know why. There are no diagnostics.

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!

I had bought this extra router because I have been adding more tech devices that need Wi-Fi, and my Netgear modem/router can't handle all our devices. So far, it's been a couple of days and not been much delay. I can easily switch between routers.

Love the nighthawk, we set this up and love the fact that you can print out a qr code for your guest to quickly and eazy access. This keeps them off my game line and gives them there own line via wifi.

Small form factor but has outstanding range. Better coverage than previous Nighthawk model that had 4 antennas. The app provides as signal strength meter that shows signal as you move around house.

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.
