    When purchased this wasn’t the top of the line but far better than most. For streamlining no multiple TVs and having kids on their various devices at the same time, this is performing really well. Also probably one of the fastest set ups I’ve done compared to other routers.

    Having this allows my brother and I to have a separate channel for our games and one for our parents to use. It's a bit wasted since we're still on DSL, but this doubled the amount of speed we get when my brother and I are both gaming online. Was easy to set up and has had no issues since purchasing.

    Bought this router to replace the stock router from Spectrum. The spectrum router was difficult to setup and would not reach into the bedrooms on the other side of our small house. The Nighthawk is reasonable to setup and does a great job covering our house. I was not excited with the Pay For Use security software , but , your mileage may vary. There is an android app that lets you connect to the router and it works fairly well. I was able to connect an external USB stick to the usb port and there is a helper app that handles the mapping. Not currently being used. Connecting a printer to the usb port was a no start for me. It was easier to setup the printer via WiFi. At the end of the day it provides good Wifi coverage in our small home.

    I live in a condo that has a unique ability to eat my wireless signal. I purchased two different wireless units over the past three years trying to get a strong enough signal to stream movies in my living room downstairs. This unit did the trick. i even get a strong signal in my garage almost a block away! Significantly better than any wireless unit I have ever owned.

    Replaced a router I had had for a few years, It was very slow with downloads and would seem to lock up my laptop. Read reviews about the Netgear Nitehawk and made the purchase. What a difference. No dead spots anywhwere in my house. I get top speed for downloads and uploads. Well worth the price.

    I bought this to upgrade a Linksys AC1200+ which gave me terrible coverage in my house. The instillation was not hard and rather straightforward. The coverage with my new router is excellent. I have a great signal throughout my 3000+ sq ft house. It also was on sale for a fantastic price.

    This is by far the best wireless router I have ever owned. The range is twice my last router and have much better speed with this router as well. If you have multiple people on and a large house this is the router you need. I bought an extender to help with range outside but don't even need it.

    I was having major problems with my previous router. I also used a booster to get extra square footage of coverage, but it was still very hit or miss. I spoke to a very knowledgeable lady at Best Buy who seemed to understand my problem. She recommended this router. She could have recommended the more expensive upgrade from this one, but she said for me, the upgrade would be over-kill. I purchased this router and found it very easy to install and set up. Plus, I no longer need to use the booster. All my hardware (three TVs, 2 iPads, 2 iPhones, printer, three blue ray disc players, and visiting guests connect without any drops or problems. Thank you Netgear and especially the lady at my local Best Buy!

    Should have bought it first. Had mid level Cisco. Router wouldn't reach the other end of the house. Has plenty of strength to reach out past the house and into the back yard. Most of my cell phone calls are made through wifi first and now they don't drop. Best investment I made yet. Alot easier to set up than the Cisco.

    Monster Router at a Great Price

    I have been working with a 2nd Gen Time Capsule for the past few years. It has done it's job decently well in an apartment, 1200 sq ft home, and now our 4400 sq ft home. I realized one day it was time to get with the new AC technology (I actually work for a technology integrator and kept selling better product than I owned). I have read reviews on the Nighthawks and decided it was the right move for me. I purchased this router, brought it home and was blown away by the ease of setup. Downloaded an app on my phone and 5 minutes later I was rocking some awesome speeds. I ran a speed test with my Time Capsule before shutting off the network. I pay TWC for 50 Mbps download and got 36 on average on 3 tests. I installed the Nighthawk and ran 4 tests in the same exact spot. Again, paying for 50 Mbps, and I averaged 55 download with 14 upload. This thing is a mini tank. I love it. I sell all my customers on Nighthawk gear now. The setup is crazy simple and the product performs beyond expectation.

    I was having problem with the WIFI router that was supplied by my internet provider. My Nest CAM would hang and stop working. The WIFI in would drop when I was in certain rooms of my house. I decided to get this router and all my issues have gone away. Great purchase. Easy to setup.

    The Netgear R7000 AC1900 WI-FI router performs very well after upgrading the shipped firmware. The on-board version would not hold WI-FI connections and would drop devices. Since the last two updates right after the install, all is working very well, has excellent speed, and has good range.
