Customer Ratings & Reviews

This router has a 1 ghz processor and really is a dedicated computer meant to handle all the router tasks. I got it because I needed a router that could handle the faster uploads and downloads of my ISP, and also handle my house needs which is very heavy use involving at least 3 computers. This router has been up to the task and seems to allocate bandwidth to where it is needed. Compared to my previous router, it more quickly loads pages to watch from the internet. As a bonus, I am able to plug in a thumb drive (one with 120 gb of memory) and have this be a shared hard drive with the computers in my house and also with my brother who lives 14 hours away. All the functions are accessible through a browser page, whether or not I am online, and is fairly easy to set up. I have not used all the functions. I only need the router's handling of the upload and download traffic, wifi, and the shared hard drive. The only downside I find is that it was more spendy than any other router I have purchased before, being $150. I had paid, the most 90 dollars for my first one, and then bought used ones from $5 to $20. This one was a leap in my budget, but it did seem necessary and seemed to be worth it.

This router offers 2 bands; setting up one for VOIP, gaming, streaming and other for regular stuff makes a whole lot of difference. Great range as well.

I thought my internet provider was giving me bad internet, but truth was my router was out of date. Fired this one up and voila! Internet is faster than ever.

Was told this router would be perfect for the basic streaming needs of mine, and they were right! It’s very speedy and just a great buy.

We run a small business from our home that requires alot if usage on the internet. We have had no problems streaming or with casual use!

Plugged it in and setup quickly. Internet speeds are dramatically faster. Great multi-band router for the prince.

I bought this R7000 to replace an aging Netgear WNDR4300. It definitely has a lot of great features, better range, etc., but I had terribly slow Internet speeds.After a few weeks of fiddling around with it, I finally succumbed and called Netgear Tech Support. It took almost an hour, but the phone-call was worth it because she tweaked my settings and now I have my (Comcast) Blast speeds back! Bottom line: Great Router, just don't settle for factory settings. Call Tech Support and get direct help, it's well worth it! :-)

Needed new router and went with Netgear due to previous experience with other products. Decided to go with nighthawk because of easy of use and versatility.

Recommended by the Best Buy consultant. I was looking to extend my wi-fi further into my yard and also help with streaming. This router did the trick. I am now able to receive my wi-fi signal to my fire pit and my streaming is much better than before. This router is great for my size house and for my usage. Would recommend this product.

great product. this replaced my old router which was also a netgear. It works great. I couldn't ask for a better product for the money. Setup was easy.

FiOS being cheap would not replace my modem without charging me extra each month. I then bypassed the modem/router with this beauty. My range and speed jumped. Not a moment too soon either, with two school faculty members, and two college students working out of the house. Thank you Netgear.

My home is fairly large, I get full signal everywhere I go. It does take a while to completely boot though, but it is no concern of mine.

We purchased this when our old router wasn't able to keep up with 3 phones, ipod, iPad, PS4 and all the other electronic devices in the house! So far so good.

I purchased this after being assisted by a helpful young man. Must say I didn't want to spend what I spent but after his assistance I took a chance, figuring I would return it. Lo and behold I still have it...the signal is great, no one in the house has any lag and now that the internet speed has been upgraded to 100 mbps, I'm glad I have it, because it handles the speed nicely.

Really nice wifi router, easy to setup and use, my niece and nephews pretty much use the wifi part 24/7 playing dayz and lol with out any complaints, as a retiree from full time FPS games its a excellent router, I pretty much now just use it for email and work now.

Easy to set up. Great interfaces. Fairly stable. Good range. Fast.

Definitely an improvement over my two year old dual band linksys router. Haven't had any problems despite high bandwidth usage and a lot of devices connected in our home.

This has great range and coverage. Easy to set up and works great.

Replaced an older router that although it worked I questioned how good it was. Night and day when this Nighthawk was up and running. What an improvement.

We needed a better router than what our provider gave us and this one works great! Definitely extended our range and would recommend it!
