Customer Ratings & Reviews

No issue with buffering within the house or property lines. Wish I had purchased it earlier.

Not too techie so my son helped me to set it up. The directions online line were good. The speed for the WiFi was near the maximum number. I am happy with that. Going from a single band to a dual band has made a big difference.

This router is pretty solid, and looks awesome. The only con I have is that the Netgear web interface is super ugly. Unfortunately, dd-wrt support for this is limited. The builds they have cause Wi-Fi to disconnect randomly, and frequently, which makes dd-wrt rather impractical. But running this router on stock firmware is pretty solid.

The range is not very good. I need something that reaches from the front of my house to the back and this is barely able to.

WiFi reach is awesome, backyard, front yard, garage, no problem for this WiFi router. Even has an app so u can monitor and see all devices connected on u'r network. Easy setup, works great!

After talking to the rep at the store and discussing my needs for the wifi router I choose this one. Have had it for awhile now and I am very pleased. I have a family of 6 and it is able to keep of with the demands put on it. I provides service in all areas of the 2 story house.

Bought the right before COVID and glad we did! With kids at home doing schoolwork and me working from home too. This device handles all the electronics in the house from video games, TVs and phones. The speed is great and reliable.

I love my new Netgear - Nighthawk Dual-Band Wireless-AC Router with 4-Port Ethernet Switch unit, it allows me more mobility.

I bought one of these about two years ago and was very happy with it. I had used the built-in updater several times with success. However, I tried to update it in August 2019 and something went wrong and the update completely killed the router. Netgear techs work quite diligently with me to fix the unit but it was completely destroyed. They told me to never use the built in up-dater. I should instead down load the firmware update and apply it via a wired connection to the router. For some users this means, they must have a computer with a wired Ethernet connection, and connect an Ethernet cable between the computer and the router to update the router firmware. This can be very inconvenient especially for the neophyte. Netgear should improve their built-in Firmware update utility or remove it all together. Other that this, the router is very good as is evidenced by the fact that I bought another one.

I love this router! We have a large house and finally I have a router that we can rely on anywhere we are. (even in my sons treehouse!) But the feature I love the most is the net gear genie app that lets me block the Internet on all of the kids devices. Bedtime on school nights, when they are grounded, etc. Don't know what we did without it!!

We replaced our old router due to not having enough speed to download a stream from an app.

I was debating between purchasing a better router or a wifi extender and glad I went this route. The extended coverage was what I was wanting and got with this Nighthawk. It was a fair price for the technology as it is not the latest nor oldest.

I know there are newer routers out there but for the money, this is a great choice for routers. I have had a solid performance experience with this router! If it did go down I would purchase this router again.

Works fine for my needs, I don't think it works quite as fast as the cable modem we had before. Could be the new provider.

I really can't see any difference with my current devices in my home yet. But I am prepared for new changes in technology now.

This router works great I have a lot more range and speed.

I used to get poor reception where I live this has sped up my incoming data and offered better reception.

You want speed, distance, power, and just about everything else you can think of? You found it! The Nighthawk wireless router will take your wireless connection to Gigabit speeds without even feeling any pressure! Achieve faster speeds through wireless N than have ever been achieved before with built in boost.

I HOOKED IT UP IN NO TIME JUST TO USE A LAPTOP, THEN IT WAS EASY TO SETUP A PRINTER, THERMOSTATS AND WEBCAMS SMART TV SMART PHONE IPAD ETC THE RANGE IS GOOD CAN USE LAPTOP ANYWHERE IN THE HOUSE OR ON MY PROPERTY, EVEN HAD EXCELLENT SIGNAL FROM MY NIEGHBORS.. IF YOU HAVE A FEW DEVICES THIS IS THE UNIT YOU WANT.

We use this in my home and it supports the amount of bandwidth that my family uses
