    Well i had a tp-link router and i was not to happy with it’s performance and decided to try another router and went to Best Buy and seen a router called NETGEAR i was hesitant to purchase it because I had a bad experience with the TP link router, but I decided to give it a try. It is set up with easy and once I got it going and connected my products to it the armor plus security feature has on it was very impressive it automatically get a scan on all my devices connected to the router and block that all malware and spyware and I didn’t even know were infecting my devices. I was very impressed.

    Long range from one end of house to next. It does have a hard time the further away it gets even though the wifi signal is still strong. My 2 nd nighthawk router and i hope it last as long as the 1st one.

    12345 So far the router has performed very well, providing reliable and strong WiFi in my 2-story house that has thick plaster walls. The dashboard in the Nighthawk app is a good monitoring tool. Pretty slick looking too.

    This is my second Nighthawk router. I bought my first one several years ago and decided to get an upgrade after it was wearing down. Only problem is the price but it’s a great investment. Will continue to invest in these routers!

    Great router upgrade over an earlier model. I would have given it a 5 star if it had supported the 6 Ghz band which most new smartphones and laptops support.
