A cut above
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This router is great. Not only do I have many features on this router, but I have the best feature which is being able to prioritize bandwith allocation.

Great Router

Where’s my gigabit speeds
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have spent countless hours on the phone with Netgear tech support. And they still can’t seem to figure out why I cap out at only 500mbs. I have gigabit service. I have done tests directly with the modem and I do get the gigabit speeds. But WiFi only caps me out at 500. My PlayStation is hard wired from the router and I barely reach 350mbs. It’s frustrating because I see people having excellent WiFi. But mine just can’t seem to work right.

You get what you pay for
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m always skeptical about higher end devices (been burned before), but the Nighthawk Pro delivers in full form. Easy to set up, many different options and the WiFi range is phenomenal.

Reboots randomly
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Router reboots randomly throughout the day. After searching for solutions I found that it was common among other buyers. I always kept it with the latest updates from Netgear and reset it to factory settings twice. Currently in the process of getting Netgear to look at this issue.

Good except for smart devices
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There is one major flaw that I am aware with this router: It does not work with smart devices on your network that communicate over WiFi. For example, a Philips Hue hub. That is a pretty big flaw for a brand new router in the era of the internet of things. I would actually return the router over this issue but did not discover it until well past my return window. If you look through the NetGear support forums you'll find multiple posts on this issue, none of them with any resolution. The people who write the firmware are very responsive on those forums and I spent a week trying different things out to get it to work. None of it worked. I have seen the same complaint about Philips Hue, HomeKit, Chromecast. These are items connected to the router via ethernet, but require communication over WiFi via a tablet or phone to configure the devices. They are unable to connect. Overall I like the router and the firmware, except for that one issue. Swap to another outer, everything connects just fine. Buyer Beware: If you care about smart devices such as a Philips Hue hub, look somewhere else. If you don't care about that functionality then I suppose it is a pretty good router.

Awesome router!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.No more lag and the wifi coverage range is pretty amazing! Setup was pretty easy as well. I do not recommend setup through a mobile phone, use a mac/pc to instead.
