    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.

    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.

    The dual-band feature allows faster speeds than before, and this router allows greater coverage area in my home. The downside is that my printer was not dual-band compatible, which required buying a new one

    Ive had an older nighthawk router for 8 years and was needing to be upgraded. This router works perfectly and ive 100% noticed a better signal/speed performance. Hope this last just as long!

    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.

    This was purchased as a replacement for another Wi-Fi that didn’t last 2 years. My first Netgear lasted almost 10 years,wasn’t available when I purchased my last Wi-Fi, but once that quit, we decided to go back to Netgear. Their on line people will also patiently help you too, it you have trouble setting up. We didn’t have a problem.

    Was looking for something better than the router that my internet provider’s standard service router. Asked for recommendations and read reviews and found this router. It performs well and meets my standards, definitely better than Spectrum’s default router. I have about 10 devices running off of it at any given time and have had no issues. I play games on my PC and have the PC hardwired to it, and am able to play without any issues while all my other devices are connected to and using the wireless internet.

    Purchased for a friend. Installation was very simple, and the system came up without any issues. We did need to reconnect most of the devices after the install, even though the SSID was changed to the previous network name. The friend is extremely pleased with the noticeable improvement in speed and range from the previous router.
