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

    We have numerous smart devices connected to our router and it handles everything perfectly. Have had no connectivity issues despite having 20+ devices connected.

    Works great. It has good QoS features that you are probably be looking for if you have limited bandwidth for gaming, streaming, and surfing the web.

    This nighthawk is blazing fast. I never thought a router could make this much diffference. I went from 22mbps to over 100mbps just by adding this router. easy setup and i like the looks.

    This router has been a great performer and works very well especially due to the fact that the distance over which the signal can be received is amazing. Definitely recommend it!

    The router has worked well for me. Previously, we had trouble when all four family members were on line at the same time. Since we got the nighthawk, that problem has been taken care of.

    This does an excellent job. It can handle multiple devices, even though my wife and I only have 4-5, it's great when the grand kids all come and need to access wireless. Very pleased.

    ROUTER WAS EASY TO SET UP AND HAS BEEN EASY TO USE, SINCE I ALREADY HAD A NETGEAR ROUTER, I DID NOT HAVE TO INSTALL NEW SOFTWARE (GENIE). IT AUTOMATICALLY UPDATED FOR ME

    It was easy to install and works great. No problems. The only thing is it could be cheaper by $50, but you get what you pay for, it's great quality.

    Really can't tell the difference with this router. Paid more hoping for better quality and distance but seems the same as my old. It works just don't think it's worth paying as much for it.

    I bought this router to replace the linksys router. It is working better than what I had. The only thing that I would said is the parental controls are not that great compared to the linksys.

    I bought this router because of the dd-wrt support. I've now had it about a month, and I'm still using the stock firmware because it works great and does everything that I need.

    Instructions were not clear so I needed to call customer service. Really unhappy that they wanted to charge me a $109 to link my 2 year old Netgear extended to my new router. Just unplugged my extender.

    This is a good router. Don't get me wrong. This is ranked as one of the best. But the price compared to others did not yield the results that the price warranted.

    Yet another happy client when I resolved their coverage issues by installing this Nighthawk router. Good pricing compared to the investment of mesh at this time.
