    So, I bot this to pair with a nighthawk modem, together they work great. If you want to future proof your speed equipment. These will do. No for the but.... Netgear switches don't like these or these don't like switches. I only own Netgear equipment, and have gigabit speed. From the pole to the modem = gigabit speed From the modem to a PC = gigabit speed From the modem to the router to a PC = basically gigabit speed From the modem to a switch to a PC = not even close to gigabit speed From the modem to the router to the switch to a PC = not even close to gigabit speed Somehow the switch (5 port gigabit gs305 or 308 it's not in front of me as I type this) throttles the speed down by more than half. Netgear has no idea how or why and chalk it up to compatibility. So, WhyTF would you make a widgit that should pass through data but throttles it down. Again Netgear has no clue. So.... there's your BUT, now save you BUTT and don't add a switch, Oh...make sure you have a pretty new computer, and you'll benefit from gigabit super speed! Happy surfing PS, most equipment out there don't know what to do with gigabit speed but that will soon happen.

    This item was purchased as a gift to replace an old, underpowered unit. There was considerable trouble getting it operational but the company Customer Service was very patient and thorough. Now installed, the user is very pleased with the strength of signal and the fact it easily covers the whole house, unlike the unit it replaced.

    Needed a router with strength that would reach my downstairs tv room. The Nighthawk did the job big time. Now I can get my Netflix without any interruptions. Oh baby! Love it.

    Replaced a Nighthawk 1700 that was needing to be re-booted several times a week. Easy set-up with this one and Netgear software is a no-brainer to use. Easily changed id and password to match the previous router so no need to reconnect our devices. So far have not had to reboot even once. Nice boost in speed as well.

    Previously I had a 300N router, after upgrading to the nighthawk it was a very noticeable improvement in performance. Good for online gaming, my opinion it's worth the $200.

    This router greatly increased our wifi service. We have a very strong signal thru out our 2 story house and even out side. No more signal loss in the middle of movies.

    Great Router. My internet was horrible. I just had the cheap router Comcast provides. Finally broke down and bought this one and WOW ! What a difference. I have not had to reset it once. The range is great. Super easy to set up and use. It is pricy but we'll worth the money in my opinion.

    We switched out our older model Net Gear Wireless router for this upgraded model after we experienced brief episodes of interrupted service to the internet, despite already being subscribed to an upgraded internet service plan through Charter. We also had a tech come out to our home & check on possible causes. After he checked the lines, upgraded/removed some switches,then helped us download any updates to the old router, and we still had the same problem, he recommended we check out buying an upgraded router model. This thing works like a charm! Not one disconnection issue since we changed well over six months ago now!

    Our wifi performance has been excellent with this router. We have as many as 5 devices going at a time with no problems. Very dependable too. Definitely worth the cost.

    The house I live in is 1 story & 1600 sq. feet or so. I get full signal strength in all rooms & the garage. Running multiple devices (2 TVs, 4 cell phones) and a security system with HD cameras. Easy to set up and works like a charm. This is one of the best investments I've made for my home.

    My wifi speed has increased a great deal and I've been using it a few weeks without any drops in service. My coverage area increased a few feet over my previous linksys N router but nothing to brag about. I only give 4 stars because my HP wifi printer will not connect to this router. It does have a provision to connect my printer to the usb port and continue to use as a network printer but that would require relocation of hardware.

    This replaced an older unit that couldn't keep up with the number of devices we have now. It’s easy to set up and has some really nice features such as back up. Works great.

    Our home is just under 2,000sq' and our stock modem/router that came with the fiber internet wouldn't provide consistent high speeds to our heavy-streaming home. This router is AMAZING!!! We are running 6-10 devices streaming and the difference is unbelievable!! Do your self a favor and buy this guy, easy setup (5min tops) and no more frustrating buffering!!!!
