Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Netgear Nighthawk has been the best router I've ever had. It has great range and thus great coverage and speed throughout my home including both floors. I highly recommend it.

My apartment building was too much for my router-modem combo so I gave the night hawk a chance and it has been amazing! The range is great and it's very comforting to know that it supports 5g while most products are still using 3 and 4g This way I know it's going to be very useful for years to cone

I have setup over 10 of these routers, even have one in my house. It works great. Very good range and balances load real good. If you have a bid home , put on an addition or want WIFIi out by pool in back yard this is what you need.

Very easy to set up. Great coverage of a large home.

I don't know too much about WiFi routers but I guessed right when I purchased this one. After having numerous routers that were garbage this Nighthawk model is awesome. After its first installation with my cable modem the two laptops four smart phones and two Xboxes all online at the same time we have experienced zero drops or disconnects and streaming is faster then ever. I usually don't do reviews on products I purchase but this Nighthawk model deserves the good review because it solved all of our disconnecting and lagging problems. I would recommend this router to the average family household with numerous devices anytime.

This router provides reliable and fast Wifi throughout our 3-floor 6 bedroom house. It has an easy to use interface and the set up time for a basic configuration is minimal, yet it has advanced features that allow port forwarding for gaming and remote access protocols.

After an old, OLD Motorola router just gave up, I decided we were tired of waiting around to get the most of our Internet. Got this at a great price and never looked back. If your router is aging and barely holding on, grab this. You’ll notice a difference immediately.

I purchased this router to replace a 5 year old one that just stopped transmitting. Set up was easy, if a little confusing for someone used to manually setting these up, but still easy. I like the mobile app, where you can monitor and partially control the router, and the signal is strong. Very strong. There were dead spots on my house with the old router. Now there is only one (signal has to pass thru about 5 walls and is historically a bad reception area). In all, a worthy replacement if you are looking for a single point of service router.

I purchased this router mainly to increase the range of my wifi as well as to increase the quality of connectivity on my devices. We live in a larger home and had several places where the signal was weak at best. We also have a business line for out Internet service and just never seemed to have the speed one would expect on our wireless devices. That all was corrected once the router was brought online. Setup was simple and the optional Genie app is a nice added accessory to download on you tablet or machines. All and all a very powerful router. A bit expensive but I am finding it worth the money as it has solved issues and inconveniences I have had with other routers.

Its a good router, powerful and long range but make sure you don't upgrade the firmware. I bought one 3 years ago, and then I always update the firmware. Well constant reboots on its own made me run out and get a new one. After 3 years I was like ok it probably was dying. I get the new one, upgrade to the latest firmware and the same thing started happening. I researched it on Netgear's site and there is one firmware that is stable from about 1.5 years ago. I downgraded the router firmware to that version and it is solid!

Instillation required help of a neighbor who does this professionally. Otherwise, this product has been great. It met all my specifications-it works flawlessly, survived loss of electricity and resumed working when powe was restored. Range improved over older cisco it replaced. recommended highly.

Was dropping cable and going to online services, so wanted something faster and with higher wifi signal strength than the cable company provided units. Am very pleased with both speed and signal strength (modem/router in front of the house, bedroom in back corner). No issues with any online devices all run fine (laptops, ipads, TV, Bluray, phones etc). Drop the standard units and get something like this (and stand-alone modem), wish I had done this sooner, even just for internet access... way faster!

This router has amazing range, one of the best I have seen. It includes an an easy setup wizard that works for most configurations, and is packed with loads of features. One of the installations I did called for me installing it down in a basement that had a concrete wall around it and I was able to get a good signal even all the way out at the street! The download speed over the wireless even far away from it was over 30mbps. When I was within 30 or 40 feet away I was able to get close to 50mbps. Great router, I highly recommend this unit and will absolutely purchase another one when I have a customer that has a weak signal.

This is the BEST router out on the market. I recently upgraded from a small Linksys router and must say $200 was worth every penny. I have all my families devices running as well as desktops laptops, Xbox one and wireless blu ray player. I have no lag while streaming Netflix in one room while the kids play Xbox live in the other. The range is also very impressive. It is a bit bulky but its performance overshadows that. Very easy to set up as well, only took one try in a few minutes. I highly recommend getting this device, worth every penny.

We were having so much trouble with dropped wifi in our condo. I thought the setup was a little confusing but once the system was up and running everything seems to be great. We have 2 smart tvs, iPhones, 2 wireless printers and a couple of computers so we really needed a reliable network.

Since I installed these router at home I have no complaints instead amazed of the good signal. Easy to set up. I recommend to download the app to manage ur settings. Also I noticed the other day with my tablet that my router signal goes all the way when I turned down the block of my house.

The Nighthawk router worked flawlessly. The installation material is accurate and simple. On my network, speed test shows near a gigabit upload and download plugged in using a cat6 ethernet cable. My only disappointment is finding out my laptop is wireless N. The Netgear genie is very useful.

I've been through 4 other wireless routers trying to find one that would not have dead zones in my 3300 sq ft home. This unit picks up everywhere. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 star is because one of the antenna broke off as I was taking it out of the box. Fortunately, I don't need it - works fine without it.

It was easy to install. I have a two story, spacious home, including furnished basement. I have the router installed on the 2nd floor and I get a decent signal in my basement. I have 2 kids who run several devices at the same time and I have not noticed any decline in signal strength.

So after about a year of use this router did not meet my expectations. This came highly recommended and was rumored to be a BEAST... however the firmware updates make this thing drop signals, the nighthawk app not longer allows for remote access, and my signals often drop after switching to this router. I was looking for something that could handle heavy traffic as well as a large amount of devices, and this router just wasn't cutting it for me.
