Customer Ratings & Reviews

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

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.

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.

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.

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 immediately saw a big improvement in accessibility and speed. I love my Nighthawk and have already recommended it to a family member! I will definitely buy another Nighthawk if the need for a new router arises.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

My second,newer version, of this router. Performs as anticipated,but as I am not an IT expert my expectations are relatively simple. Updating at little cost was well worth it.

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.

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

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 bought this router as an replacement and upgrade to go along with my new smart tv. So far so good no complaints as of yet.

This router was recommended by the IT guy at work and it's great. My coverage is so much better now, I don't need an extender any more and we don't have a problem with the signal being dropped.

If you are looking for a good router that allows you to get a good wifi connection from anywhere in your home this is it.
