Customer Ratings & Reviews

We have a 2000 sqft office, single story, and needed a basic wifi router. We were able to centrally locate this router so we have better than 50% signal at the furthest points. The router was easy to setup and we were online in less than 5 minutes after power up.

A great investment. Bit pricey but works great. Totally worth the money.

This router allows us to manage access internally and externally. Love the app that I can download to my phone

Was easy to Set Up, as like any replacement equipment there were some hiccups, but nothing that stopped me. App interface is very. Nice to see what other equipment is hooked up and using the Wi-Fi.

Buy this. Not only is it worth every penny, it's impressive. You'll never have slow Wi-Fi again in your life.

I can get a signal almost a block away from my house. This router is great.

We have up to 20 devices that connect at the same time and we no longer have a problem with connection. Its great#

I upgraded from a Linksys that would always drop my signal, get overridden by neighborhood signals and would get bogged down by all of the devices connected at once. This hardware is like night and day difference. My speeds doubled! The beauty of this is that all you need is your smartphone and you can connect it. I love being able to monitor traffic, connections and what devices are connected via my smartphone. Bear in mind, it is much bigger than my last router but I still had no problem finding a spot for it. The "smart connect" feature is beautiful. It connects to the wider range signal when I leave the proximity of the access point, but the downfall is that I have to turn off the wifi on my device (phone, laptop etc) and then reconnect to get back into the fast lane. A minor inconvenience but doesn't detract from the overall greatness. So far, I've had ZERO issues.

Everything at Best Buy, is a best buy. I trust the people and products!

It's a good router with bad firmware and glitchy updates. At first it worked without problems. But, not it needs regular resets (unplugging etc..). Oh, and the 5G channel does not work. Other reviews echo what I've said. Have owned it for three years so I didn't have to rent equipment from the cable company. In that aspect it has saved money, however there is no customer service from Netgear.

Works great, easy set up, compatible with Time Warner/Spectrum internet. Fortunately for me, whenever its crapped out it's been because of nature/ storm, and within the warranty period! I've bought Netgear's products for years and it never disappoints.

When I was first setting this router up the 2.4ghz througput was horrible. Quick upgrade to the latest firmware fixed that and speeds were great. But then I found myself constantly rebooting and normal web browsing failing most of the time. This was with all factory defaults with the exception of my SSID names. After reading the NETGEAR forums I saw most had better luck with previous versions. As of this writing I’m running 1.0.9.14. Seems fairly stable but sometimes I do have a 5 second or so TTFB loading pages in my browser. But then things are fine. All media streaming is fine. Haven’t tested gaming yet even though Ive had this a week. But currently I’m content. I’ve only given this 3 stars because of the firmware hastle. I could consider a 4 if it continues to function without further issue.

Reviewed a bunch of Wi-Fi routers, tried a few but this is one the best by far, tried 3100 Asus router because it got great reviews and Asus is one of the top brands, however my computers would disconnect for no apparent reason. I get full courage right throughout the house and works great with my Xbox for gaming online.

Bought this router to replace an older router which needed to be rebooted many times during the day. Unplugged the old one, installed the new one. In a matter of minutes it found all my devices. Now streaming videos no longer requires rebooting. Handles all my devices with ease. Easy to use software for configuring.

Works much better than what I was using, Yet, still doesn't have the powerful coverage I need for my large, spread-out house.

Very easy to set up and configure. The app for my phone is great for monitoring and updating settings. It also allows a quick look at every device currently connected. For any non-techies our there, this the router for you.

All I can say is that my download speed went from 3mps to 25mps-100mps! Does as advertised!!!!

I have always had good luck with netgear, and the nighthawk has to be one of the best routers.

This is a great modem for what I need. It was easy to install and set up.

Upgrade my parent's router as they were using the default Verizon FIOS router and were getting horrible signal throughout the house for all of the devices (computer, tablet, and phone). Once I set it up, they were getting an excellent signal all the way out to the end of the driveway.
