The Netgear router is awesome! Easy to set up and coverage is very good

Easy setup and works well with Xfinity. The best thing was giving the gateway back to Xfinity and the dark cloud is gone. Should have done it years ago.

I would have given it 5 stars but for the set up and a few other blips.
The set up with the nighthawk app is not good.
Maybe they have fixed it?
But probably just do a manual set up.
If you are willing to set up a network you know enough to make this chore simple.
Problem is that on the initial set up the username and password Fields are greyed out.
If you click on the username field it stays greyed out.
If you click on the password word field to the direct right of the username field it will let you change the password word but it is unintuitive to click the password field after seeing the username field is unaccessible due to being greyed out...
After the password is set the rest is super simple if you have ever set up a router before and still super simple and easy to figure out if have are new to the experience.
Nighthawk app is spam and just a annoying life lock like business strategy as far as I can see.
Also for the duration of the free trial of Netgear armour I had an issue with losing internet for like 30 seconds during a point in the nine o'clock hours.
Both am and pm.
It was odd.
I suspect it was Netgear armor connecting to a server and sharing it's findings...
After the trial expired the internet loss seemed to go away.
But I did change a minor setting in the router around that time as well so it could have been that?
Probably the the netgear armour thing though...
Good router though.
Handles streaming games to twitch at 1080p just fine.
Also handles multiple high resolution devices all at the same time just fine.
I would recommend.
Just don't use Netgear armour and don't use nighthawk app.
I give them negative 5 stars...
The hardware is solid so far.

Description: The ease of setting this up with our already existing Neatgear, Nighthawk app was so simple and quick! The speed has increased and haven't noticed a lag or delay at all.

Netgear is always a solid choice for wifi equipment. Out previous router went out at the office after almost a decade of use. Our IT specialist suggested this model since it was similar to what we had.
We haven't had an issue yet with dropped or slow service.

Great router for gaming needed an upgrade from my old router. This one has a lot of features and functionality from the app. However there is a pay wall for quite a few features and this could be a negative to quite a few im sure. I personally use their service which comes with vpn and full feature functionality with internet security. But it will do what its supposed to without the subscription features and works extremely well if you have fast internet.

Bought this to replace my Nighthawk X6 R8000. This blows the X6 out of the water. I get better coverage than the X6 and the band carry a better DL than the X6. The only reason I miss my X6 is for the extra DNS settings. My X6 broke down. My WiFi degraded once a week, and it stopped broadcasting the TRI-band.

Best router I have ever owned. Been a longtime Netgear fan but the router takes the cake. The range is amazing for the price and the wifi speeds it offers are absolutely incredible, making me feel like there is no waste/loss coming from my ISP. Big recommend from me. Setup was insanely easy using the app and only took about 20 minutes total. Thankfully we put a password on the internet access because my neighbors can see my wifi channel too lol.

It's worked well for the most part, but the WiFi occasionally cuts off for a few minutes for no known reason. It also never gives me the full amount of speed I should be getting, but it is much faster than my previous router.

My router and modem went out. We needed a dual band router with a greater distance. Easy to set up. I am very pleased with the purchase and would recommend this item to others.
