Many appreciate its strong signal and the generally simple setup process, leading to positive experiences with streaming and overall WiFi quality.

    Now we can get Netflix to work on our TV which is only about 15 feet away from the computer! No constantly putting in that stupid password every time we have a power surge or reboot our devices.

    Easy to set up but my internet still is slow and buffers do not getting through put I expected. I don’t think the auto switch between 2.4 and 5 works well.

    It's a perfect choice. No nonsense setup. I plugged it in and within 10 minutes it was fully functional and connected all of my wifi capable equipment. No issues with it. Excellent purchase.

    Would highly recommend. We had problems with our prior router, (made by a different manufacturer) not having a broad enough signal. this one is perfect. Pretty much just plug it in and you are ready to go.

    It has been close to 2 months since I had purchased the router. Because I needed additional cable plug for an Arlo camera. I had no issues with the coverage within the house. It was a simple setup.

    I have used this router for quite a while and it is just okay. I upgraded in hopes of a faster more reliable experience and have not been impressed with the performance. Despite awkward and ugly antennas, the range on this unit is no better than it's predecessor. It struggles with streaming while penetrating one uninsulated sheet rock wall with a distance of about 40 feet. I upgrad about every two years. I'll not be using these type of routers from Netgear anymore. They make the same improved performance claims every new model and I've not experienced it as of the last two.

    I was having trouble with the range and unreliable connection with my previous router so we decided to spend the money for the Nighthawk router. The set-up is pretty straight forward with only a few very minor issues (when it came to using the set-up wizard). All in all, we were up and running in less than one hour. The first thing I noticed was the increased range and strong signal. The router is located on the second floor of one side of the house and we get a strong signal on the first floor on the opposite side of the house. Our old router dropped the connection at least 4-5 times per week. We have had the Nighthawk router in place for over a week and it has not dropped the connection once. We have 50Mbps Internet Service ot our house. Sitting about 100 feet from the router, I am getting 45 Mbps on the 5G band (I was getting about 18-20 Mbps on the old router). This router was exactly what we were looking for. If I have to say one thing that is not so great, its that it has a larger footprint than our previous routers. I had to rearrange things to find a spot for it, but that is really not a big issue.
