Customer Ratings & Reviews

Strong signal, hardly any lag, and was really easy to set up, it's great!

Great improvement over my Cisco/Linksys router. No more freezing when streaming movies. No more random disconnect during movie playback. Supports all my devices across 2.4 G and 5 G bands with different passwords foe each band.

I was having all kinds of problems with my internet connections. On the advice of a Best Buy rep, I bought this router and couldn't be happier. A simple plug n play and I have not encountered a single issue since installation.

I am currently using the router to provide wifi in the pool house which is about 100 yards away through several brickwalls. The xbox1 in the pool house can easily play online with no lag and stream netfix smooth with no interruptions. I have the xbox1 and several other devices all working at the same time with no lag. I am happy I chose this router over a cheaper model as this one is capable of handling every device we have at once.

This wireless router works great. Both my kids play online video games and I watch Netflix at the same time. No problems since we bought it and before with our old router, the 3 of us could not be online at the same time!

This is one of the best routers I've had over the years. When it worked it was super fast and easy to configure and access with all Wi-Fi devices, and I have over a dozen connected devices in my home. The down side is it crashed shortly after a year (after mfg. warranty). Luckily I purchased an extended warranty since it was so expensive and this really paid off. I returned it to the store, received my new router (same one) and purchased another extended warranty. I'm covered for another two years. I suggest you do the same thing.

I absolutely love this router and would highly recommend. My last router was an Apple AirPort Extreme and before that I mainly used linksys routers. I moved out and left my airport behind with a friend and picked this up to replace it. Saw many good reviews online and after speaking with a Best Buy associate I decided to go for it. Do not regret the decision whatsoever. The range is great and despite its somewhat large size it is aesthetically pleasing. So far it has not let me down.

Works pretty good most of the time. Definitely better than just the modem alone. Streaming has improved quite a lot. Buffering was becoming such a pain. But with this router its hardly ever a problem anymore. Happy with it.

I purchased this router because I use multiple devices at the same time. This router is doing it's job and everything is running smoothly with no lag time or glitches. I am very happy with this product.

Its reputation is well known. This router rocks. So many great features, super strong signal, auto switches between bands. Goodbye Verizon Router(And monthly rental cost). Setup was literally plug on power and ethernet. I went from an average WiFi speed of 25 up/down to over 200-300 up/down. Very happy with this purchase. Added a Deco TPLink Mesh network and Im good to go.

I had a lot of trouble getting strong WiFi for my tablets in my family room. Also problems with buffering on Amazon streaming movies. A big part of the problem is my L-shaped home. No problems at all with this new router!!

I honestly wasn't sure about buying this router. I was afraid I needed to spend more money to get a really good one. But I have been pleasantly surprised with the range. We have a large home (4000 sq ft) and my son is way down in the basement as far away as possible from the router and gets a great signal. So I think this router is working great. Download speed is good enough and streaming is working fine with some 15 or so gadgets hooked up to it wirelessly at any given time.

This router has taken everything I can throw at it, with no downtime. I constantly have at least 6 devices streaming video or accessing the internet and, coupled with Time Warner 300mbps service, this thing has worked flawlessly.

I was experiencing problems with the range of my previous router. This router reaches the entire area of my home which has two levels. Would recommend this to everyone.

Love the Nighthawk, simply the best wireless router available. Don't hesitate, purchase today. Super easy to set up, extremely user friendly interface. Simply the best!!!

Setup was east and the WiFi speed and quality is good. The unit is quite large and ugly so it is best placed somewhere out of sight.

I cannot get Internet at my house for some reason. I bought this because a buddy lives across the street around 100ft away. He connected it at his house and then i was able to get the signal perfectly. Worth every penny!

We bought this to replace an older Netgear router; this one was recommended by the Best Buy employee and, so far, we are very happy with it. Our internet seems to be running faster and smoother and it was pretty easy to set up, easier than I remember the older one being. I did have to install an app on my phone in order to set it up, though, so that may be an issue for some people. The only drawback we've run into is that this does not have a WPS button on it.

I replaced an old Linksys router largely because of erratic Netflix. We are in a rural connection using wireless that has a predictable 2mb connection (4mb in surge). I had earlier installed a router extender to handle the lower leve of the housel. In general, through the whole house, I had at least a +10db improvement everywhere and the extender really isn't necessary now. Netflix works much more predictably. The setup is easy, the router pretty much manages itself (including when upgrades are available). When there's a connectivity problem you can use the router to pretty well establish the problem (the ISP typically). I've set up the USB connection with ReadySHARE and it's backing up the main computer (the rest are little used). A Netgear genie app (for Windows and Android in my case) gives you a good view of your network. Net, it's working great for me and I'd recommend it to anyone who's looking for a good home router.

I gave the product 4 of 5 stars because although installation was easy the firmware updates took quite a while. Other than that, I have been very pleased with the router which is connected to fiber optic internet service.
