Customer Ratings & Reviews

I chose this router to flash it to become a VPN Router with Tomato as it's operating system. I was pleased with how easy this was to set up.

Netgear has always been reliable and this product was not a disappointment. It streams everything without a hitch and everyone can game to their hearts' contents.

After purchasing a new laptop our old router would not connect to it. We purchased the Nighthawk and the connection was quick and the distance of signal is great.

My old router failed and had to be replaced. It never had the range, so it was a blessing that it died and left me to buy a better one. To me the Netgear Nighthawk is the top of the line. It has excellent support software that gives me a detailed view of network performance, and notifies me when traffic is heavy or the network is down. I don't know about the future, but this device is now enabling me to do more, faster and at more locations on or near my property! Thank you Netgear!

This product was very easy to physically connect and wirelessly setup. I am using it mostly for wireless streaming of video and music and performance has been consistently fast and smooth. The antenna are a little tricky to position. Rotating them clockwise to angle was fine, but if rotated counterclockwise just a small amount, they loosen and just flop down. The other surprise was our Kindles would not connect to the wireless AC. Too fast a connection for the humble reader. Luckily we have a wireless N router in another part of the house. All in all, still very satisfied with the product.

I'm in a fairly large Apt, and with my teenage son and myself big techies, we run about 15 items on the network, and this handles it wonderfully. between the Smart Phone the PS3 and 4, XBOX, Smart TV's, Desktops computers, Laptops, tablets and lets not forget our Network printers. I really can't say enough good things about this router. It has Duel Bands and you can use them simultaneously, which is great, through out the apt I avg on the older G network I'm getting at 65% signal strength, and with the Smart TV ( N network) it's on end of the house, and the routers is on the other end, I'm getting 92%, this thing kicks butt. I know it's a bit pricey, and I'm normally budget conscious minded person, but this is one purchase I was happy to spend the extra money with absolutely no regret.

I could not be happier with this product. I am yet to have a problem truly amazing easy set up and it's awesome better than any other I've had in the past

This Nighthawk Dual-Band Wireless-AC Router with 4-Port Ethernet Switch is worth the price, a must buy for your home. The coverage throughout the house is perfet

I would recommend this router for anyone who use internet a lot, gaming, streaming ect. not problems with it yet

It has worked great! I love it. My original went out and my phone company wanted to lease me one. This purchase was the best purchase ever.

The equipment works, but I do wish it could be designed to stack with other equipment. This is pretty wide and and I don't like a lot of flat pieces taking up space on my desk.

This is my 2nd purchase of this router, I liked it so much that I got one for my small business! My phone recognizes it from a block away!

This is my 2nd time buying this router. Had the first one for a little over 4 years. Netgear makes a reliable & speedy router with great coverage. If you want a well priced reliable modem for your house, then look no further.

After months of research...settled on this Netgear router. This replaced a 6 year old D-Link router. We have 2 smart TVs, Ipad, 3 iphones, Ipod touch, 2 laptops, Xbox, all on the wireless network without issues to date. Great range and speed. Netflix streaming works great. I have not tried the back up feature yet but do plan on using it soon. Mobile app is also useful. Very happy with this purchase.

I deliberated for hours and days over what my next router should be. Dropping up to $200 on a router was daunting and I wanted to make sure I made the right decision. Coupling this purchase with CAT6 to ensure I wasn't bottlenecking myself, I set up this router and was blown away. It's amazing how much my old router had been throttling me. This router is able to handle 90mb/s (based on my tests), which is as high as my ISP goes to my knowledge. All of my devices are hooked in, some wireless and some cabled, but all of them experience good to breakneck speeds. My game consoles rooms away still run fantastically with no lag in game and my wired PC is able to download 40GB games in 20-40 minutes. The router also offers a solid suite of features if that's something you're into, but nothing too crazy or state of the art compared to its high end competitors. This purchase was revolutionary. That said, this purchase is a bit overkill for most. If you have a small household with 6 or less devices, there are cheaper options for you that will feel just fine. Depending on what you need out of your internet as well will determine how much you need something of this caliber. General Facebook browsers with an occasional Youtube video session will likely not see any major improvements in their experience.

Love this item I have just over 2300 sq ft and two levels and have had no issues with streaming or intetnet. Even the cable guy was excited when he saw it!!!

Purchased when on sale saving $100. Main reason for my purchase was to use it for my Apple TV, Previous router signal too weak, NetGear is perfect for my needs!

I purchased this because previous one was dropping signal every single hour. I was very nervous. I went to Bestbuy and purchase this after reviewing products. Reasonable price as well as great operation and coverage. I am living in a house around 2000 sq ft. It covers perfectly fine. no speed different at every single corner of my house. Great for a mid-sized house.

This was an easy setup and installation that took only a few minutes to complete. I think it took more time to get it out of the package and located near our broadband router, than it did for the setup. The strong signal and ease of use make this a great buy. It's a bit more expensive than some items, but I feel it is worth the cost because of the output, abililty to handle all bands and the reliability.

I purchased this router to upgrade an 8 year old Belkin router as wireless coverage/signal was becoming noticeably weaker. I was able to get this router up and running in less than 15 minutes using the smartphone app. Since installation, I have not had any issues running 2 gaming consoles, 2 smartphones, 2 iPads, 2 PCs and a Macbook Pro. Amazing buy!
