Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

setup is easy and it works as described. I used both the iPhone app and a web browser. I prefer the web browser. And the Wifi signal seems strong.

Title: Smooth Sailing Description: So far, so great! I have had zero problems with my new Netgear Nighthawk BE6500, it delivers Wi-Fi to all parts of my house, and I have no connectivity issues. I am using gigabit-speed internet, and it supplies this service to my devices effectively. I am likely to buy NETGEAR products again in the future.

Easy to setup. The range is 100% better than the AT&T unit. Great speed! Good buy!

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.

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.

Title: Great router Description: Easy to setup. Has great coverage.

Easy setup, no issues running from the basement of my multi-level home.

Easy install. All devices connected to WiFi easily. Looks like the basic Armor will work for me. I am terribly dissatisfied that the price when down $20 shortly after I purchased it!

I like Nighthawk brand. I have never bought a better router. Great speed and reliable.

Awesome plug and play, Speed is unaffected, user friendly

Setup was really easy through the companion app. Works well with all my connected devices and the app offers a lot of flexibility on customizing my connection.

I originally tried a different router, (TP Link) but after multiple attempts I found that it was incompatible with Verizon Fios and also had poor IPv6 support. However I’ve had no issues with the Netgear BE6500, rock solid speed and very easy setup.

This new router's awesome! My old Asus was dropping signal constantly, making working from home a pain. Traded it in at Best Buy using my warranty – so glad I did! It's super fast and reliable, exactly what I needed.

I have had zero issues and it was a very simple setup.

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.

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.

Have no problems. Has definitely helped my connect problems

Very easy to setup, the app that goes along with the router guides you through each part of the process - including if you need updated firmware. Very pleased with this purchase - streaming has been smooth as ever and speeds are through the roof.

Easy, fast setup. Reliable, fills the whole house and even further beyond.
