    Great router with great range! We’ve had it for over a week now and it’s been working great. Internet is blazing fast and setup was easy. Highly recommend.

    I replaced a much older router with this Nighthawk. It is a lot faster and more reliable than my previous Netgear (although that one had a great run). Setup was not as easy as the instructions lead on and customer support was subpar, but after multiple tries had it up and running and it’s been great ever since.

    Fast, Reliable, and Future-Ready Wi-Fi 7 Router

    I’m really happy with this router. The NETGEAR Nighthawk BE5000 gave my home a noticeable speed boost and much more stable Wi-Fi connection. Streaming, video calls, and smart home devices all work smoothly with no drops or buffering. Setup was straightforward using the app, and the design looks modern and clean. The coverage is strong throughout my home, and the connection stays consistent even with multiple devices connected at the same time. Overall, this is a great upgrade if you want fast, reliable Wi-Fi and future-proof technology with Wi-Fi 7. Highly recommended!

    This router works exceptionally well and has exceeded my expectations. I have not experienced any dead spots, buffering, or lag issues since installing it. The connection remains strong and reliable throughout my home, even with multiple devices connected at the same time. I would definitely recommend purchasing this router.

    Netgear Upgrade

    The Netgear Nighthawk BE5000 was a badly needed upgrade from my older router. Handles demands of the many household items that connect (washer/dryer, TVs, Refrigerator, Microwave, Dishwasher, cell phones, computers, etc.) If BestBuy had more models in stock, I may have purchased a higher capacity model, but this model matches the speed of the internet coming into my house and has managed all of my devices without lag. Super happy with the upgrade.

    CenturyLink had us switch over to Quantum Fiber. When we did that, our Ring Cameras stopped working. Neither Quantum or Ring seemed able to help us. I went to Best Buy, and the sales person knew exactly what I needed. As soon as I connected this Nighthawk Wi-Fi, everything worked properly.

    Overall a solid gaming router, my only concern with the product is the range for the WiFi signal. I’ll probably need to get a WiFi extender to reach some dead spots at home but for the speed, technology, and price; it’s a solid router
