Customer Ratings & Reviews

Amazing. So happy I decided to purchase this and stopped renting my equipment.

It has better range than expected, without compromising speed. Works excellent with bundle of my devices.

Decent router with good speed. Encountered drops couple of times, but overall it is a good product.

I have had the Nighthawk on my network for over six months now and as others have noted, it is an excellent performing product. The Wi-Fi coverage is fantastic and covers my two story home with ease. It can easily handle the throughput of my cable modem and I have an external drive attached for backing up my system to. Unfortunately it does suffer from some bugs in the last few versions of firmware that cause the Wi-Fi radios to stop working. Wired connections still work, but even though the Wi-Fi devices are connected, they cannot access the Internet nor the management interface of the router. A reboot will take care of the issue, but it is a pain to have to reset it every few weeks. In checking the Netgear forums, many people are experiencing this issue and have reverted to an earlier version of firmware that does not have this problem. Unfortunately that also creates issues since the newer firmware addresses security issues. If it were not for this issue, the router would be perfect and would have a five star rating. Until the firmware issues are addressed be aware that you may have to reboot the router every few weeks and for that reason I cannot recommend this device.

This router was a breeze to install and set up. It reaches into every inch of our house and beyond effortlessly and handles every electronic device that is utilized up to 18 devices. With a very well designed app for smartphones, you can easily monitor every function of the router and connected devices. There are many beneficial features with this router helping control connected devices.

I live in a home where for some reason I cant walk for more than 30 steps away from my living room and loose signal. I regain it after I clear a hallway. This was the only thing that was helpful in distributing the signal throughout my home.

This was the top rated router and Best Buy had it on sale. Easy setup with Arris Surfboard cable modem. Have it up and running now for 3 weeks without a hitch. Good speed and range. The Netgear Genie app works well.

When spending $199 I sorta expected to have 5 bars everywhere in the house... while the coverage is good, it is not GREAT. Set up was very easy - that was a plus

Easy setup, compatible with Xfinity Services. Super fast internet speeds allowing wi-fi throughout a two story condo.

Easy to install! Wonderful performance. This is my second Net gear router and I have found the product of superior quality.

This router broadcasts through a 3 story town house with full signal strength and delivers 400 Mb/s internet speeds.

To get the best out of your router it should be placed on the very top possible for best signal. Of course my cable connection/modem was brought through the basement, so I didn't want to run a service coil to the upstairs from the basement. I purchased this Nighthawk Router after trying an older N+ device that didn't cut it. It was easy to hook-up and configure, and works like a charm without dropping the signal for all our family's devices.

Fast Speed Internet. Quick downloading, easy set up with easy to read instructions

needed to update my router. This one was a breeze to set up and works absolutely awesome for streaming Wi-Fi to smart tv, PC etc....

Easy to setup and made internet instantly faster. A lot of options when using this router makes this a great buy

Have a 5000+ home. Was not getting a strong singal in three upstairs bedrooms. Tried Linksys but took it back and tried Netgear. Works prefectly. My gaming sons are now able to play their games and stream without the signal dropping

Great product for the money. covers the whole house and easy to use with the app.

The unit works as expected. The product has performed as the documentation stated. The gui interface is intuitive but not for the technically challenged. There are plenty of help videos on the web and at the manufacturer's site, however.

I love this thing. It has changed my wireless world. I did a speedtest on my xfinity account http://speedtest.comcast.net/ and my wired computer got the same speed as my computer using wireless from this router. (please note you must have a sick wireless card to get sick speed). Our iPhones and iPads are way faster. Xbox is way faster. Wish I would have gotten this way sooner.

Great range and speed. The guest option works great for customers at my restaurant.
