Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've had my eye on this router for a few months now, and bought it on impulse, and will not regret it. Range is insane on this thing. Perfect for heavy streamers and gaming. We have about 3-4 things streaming, and 2 gaming consoles running from this with no issues. Easy to set up as well.

I bought this router to upgrade my old WNDR 3400. The set up was incredibly simple using the Netgear Genie, and the range now covers all of my 2 story house without problems. When using the 5Ghz band, my download speeds have been 80+Mbbps, which is double what I was getting with my last router. I haven't tried the "airplay" option to see how that works for my iPhone, but would highly recommend this router especially if you can get it on sale

Couldn't be happier with the purchase. It was easy set up and has the speed we needed. Highly recommend.

So far it has done every thing I expected it to. At times we have 10+ devices using the wifi. Plus we may have a movie streaming.. Everything works perfectly and there is no lag time. I have only had it a couple of weeks so if things change I will update this review.

Easy to install and provides great coverage for multiple devices

This router was purchased to replace an old Linksys WRTG router, as well as provide maximum range for wi-fi. Easy to install using the web interface. Easy access to setting using the same router interface. This router definitely has surpassed expecations as of now.

I only found out after we purchased this router that it was considered a "gamer router" but we immediately recognized the difference between this and our old router we purchased form Cox. Nothing gets dropped in our household anymore and buffer time has reduced significantly, in fact it's almost instantaneous (streaming movies, Pandora music, etc.).

Setup was easy. Works Fantastic. I am an IT professional but even my elderly parents could set this up.

This Netgear router was super easy to set up and the Genie installation software program just walked me right through the installation. My previous router was a Linksys EA6500. The Netgear AC 1900 is a vast improvement in speed and range. Great job, Best Buy and Netgear !!!

I brought this router as an impulse buy. I went to BB looking to get a cheaper router, but after talking with the salesperson purchased this one. It can handle the bandwidth, was easy to set up, and has a great interface to control it with. Being a neophyte to these, it was very easy to work with, and I had it up and running in no time. I use the interface for diagnostics and control. All in all I am extremely pleased with this router.

Was moving from a Linksys E2000, which is a jump either way, I was mostly a Linksys person. I did like the dd-wrt firmware overall for using VPN, VLANs, etc. Knowing there was the additional community of http://myopenrouter.com/ that was in support of the netgear router set got my attention. Knowing i could go either way, stock firmware or opensource, was a major decision factor in purchasing this router. I wanted additional features such as the USB ports, High Power wireless-N / G, faster processor, higher RAM and Gig. Even though this router had all that, I wasn't sure on the price tag. I don't regret spending the extra money on it. I can't speak on behalf of the stock firmware. I did poke around in it before upgrading and it seemed feature rich but yet a bit unorganized. For an every day person, this firmware would get you by and allow you to use some of the extra features with ease. I used the following dd-wrt build http://myopenrouter.com/download/dd-wrt-firmware-netgear-r7000-based-revision-27261 but there is a newer revision out there. The build "upgraded" with ease from the stock firmware. I did have one hiccup while doing my initial config where the router locked up and i had to reset but that I'm going to attribute to user error. Otherwise i'm using the NAS, OpenVPN, Wireless N - G and G guest, Firewall support, VLANs, etc. The NAS is great with 2 - 2 TB drives so far. The only complaint i have is with copying large amounts of data to the hard drives. it seems to time out at times when doing so. Not sure if a firmware issue or a drive write speed even though its 3.0. Overall 3 months in a solid product that's running the way i want it to.

I didn't expect it to be this good. Great speed and no more lag when streaming videos! Would recommend it!

Seem to be working just fine. Better coverage in my house than the old one I had before. Faster also.

This leap frogs the modem/router given to us by the cable company. Every evening our wifi/internet would come down to a crawl after 7pm (I'm assuming because of internet traffic in my neighborhood). After ditching the cable company modem/router and buying our own Motorola modem and this netgear router, internet is blazing fast and you can't even detect any slowdowns, if there were any.

I bought this as a replacement for a gateway and was impressed with the increased speed and performance.

So far as I can determine, the router performs as advertised. It has very good signal strength at my small house. However, it did not solve my problem, which is reliable connections with the Internet for a CapTel phone. This is a specialized phone for the hard of hearing and it is supposed to provide captions of phone conversations. The problem appears to be in the phone itself, as the router provides far more speed than the alternate phone connection (power line adapter) does.

So my husband had to get a new router because he got an Alien Ware laptop. He was like, "Our old router won't work. It's too slow. Must have faster router." So he picked out this one. It was easy to install. I'm glad he knows what he's doing, because I'd probably mess it up somehow. He had it up and running in like 10 minutes. Then he was like, "There, you see? Faster?" Honestly, it felt like the same speed as before, but if he says so...

Bought this item over a year ago and have had zero problems with it. I am able to stream 4 TV’s off of it, 1 desktop computer, 2 PlayStation 5’s, and multiple phones/tablets with no problems!

One of the best AC routers I've came across. I get fast speeds throughout my house. Even farthest rooms in the house

I bought this unit to finally get rid of the CIsco router that required regular restarts to keep the WiFi working.I had already made one of these Cisco routers a brick trying to upgrade the firmware. It was just time to bring in newer technology.I backed up all my settings before making the switch but the new router came up and automatically applied the proper settings. It just works and the WiFi has more than enough range to run my house.
