In the shortest terms, I have no complaints. It works well and reliably, and setup was very easy*. It has the standard amount of Ethernet ports, reboots fairly quickly, and works well with Mediacom's 1gb internet package. It's a well-made, powerful router. You get what you pay for, and you pay a lot for this.
It's also enormous compared to my old router and has no particularly stable way to sit other than upright as the pictures show, but that's my fault for not looking at the size specifications.
*The instructions for setup were 'download our app'. That's it. No manual setup process provided in the least. And while the app did make it extremely easy, it also wants to be invasively active on my phone all the time, and added an inescapable 30 day limited trial of online protection that I don't want and can't remove until 30 days are up. I needed to go back and remove all of the permissions that the app required post-installation. And, of course, everything required an account. Feels very smart home oriented, for the folks that need to be able to check that their internet is working just fine whilst on vacation miles away.
I might be an old man shouting at clouds here, but this all feels real gross on all counts, folks. At the very least, I hope it means I wont have to buy another for quite some time.

Difference maker in terms of whole house coverage. Selecting slightly more square footage than you actually need is probably key. Easy to get up and running without any real hickups. It has a large footprint that takes a while to get used to visually but works great especially if your upgrading from an older nighthawk.

Nice looking unit and built very well. Have used about 6 weeks now and has ran perfect so far. Only Con I have is the Tiny LED lights and Letters on front that show the status of everything. Was displeased with those. The letters need to be larger and easier to see and the lights should be larger and brighter to easily see at a glance if there are an issue.

A MUCH needed change
Description: Decided to make the switch from my carrier provided router to this one after experiencing signal drops and issues for months. Saw a HUGE improvement right away. Better signal strength, fewer signal dropouts, and the setup was so easy. Easily the best decision I could have made.

So far so good. I did have to pay for someone to hook it up for me. On the chat they said it was easy to set it up, my opinion it was a little difficult. And best buy wanted to charge 200 or so, even with the membership. I just got my computer guy to do it for me. I really wanted the lesser one but was talked into the next one up. Then went i got my bill I did not realize it was 167.>> I will pay attention a little better next time.

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.

Bought this to replace an older (very much older) Netgear router. This one was easy to install, set-up, and use. Only negative, and I knew it before I bought it, are the number of Ether net ports. Wish it had a couple more like the older one.

I'm not very techy and had a hard time installing this item. Included is a phone number to call for help, and the company representative was very kind and patient, and soon it was up and running. I occasionally get a text that it has checked out my devices and all is well. I get great coverage and am happy I bought this. And it takes up little desk space. A win, win!!!

The NETGEAR Nighthawk BE6500 Dual-Band Wi-Fi 7 Router is a powerful router that provides excellent coverage. I'm impressed with how well it covers both the third and first floors of my townhouse. Setup was also incredibly simple.
