Easy to install. Fast service good coverage in all areas of the house

I used before Asus router and exchanged because it was broken. this Netgear is working perfectly. I like it better than the Asus, I highly recommend it.

Best router we have had yet! We had a computer guy tell us that a lot of routers fail because of the constant pinging they get from cell phones on wifi and this was one that combats that problem and we have not had an issue with this one since. All of other ones start to fail around 6 months and this one is still going strong. We also have 8 things constantly pinging our router for wifi.

I have 50 Mbps through cox. With my new netgear nighthawk my internet speed is now around 60 Mbps, it was about 25 mbps - 30 mbps with my old router.

Plug and play. Very strong range. Called Tech support at Netgear and they were very helpful with the 90 day free support. I will buy more Netgear products.

I had an 802.11g router that wasn't letting me get even close to the 100MB/s internet speed I was paying for. This one is much better!

I purchased this router because I was having bandwidth issues with my older wifi router. This has completely fixed our issues. We have 5 mobile devices, plus Xbox, Fire Stick, and a Roku all working off this router and we are no longer competing for bandwidth. The setup was very easy!

After using several Netgear routers, I wanted to upgrade to something a little faster with more range. I am very pleased with this one for sure, didn't really gain a lot of range over my 6250 but it is fast. Like all the previous Netgear routers, it was very easy to set up. I would recommend this to anyone with a fast internet connection with a lot of wireless devices.

Very easy to set up and connect to. Router is in my basement and still get great signal even on 2nd floor of my house without having to use any WAPs

Super easy setup (just plugged it in and the passcode is printed on a sticker on the top of the unit. Throughput is high and quality of service is great. I have two dual ATSC tuners upstairs (HD HomeRun units) streaming OTA HD content on the network, and any PC connected to my network over AC can easily stream this content (into Media Center for example). Couldn't ask for anything more. Well, I guess it could be less expensive? But, I suppose you get what you pay for.

Perfect router for fios, terrible Netgear support called to setup and the woman didn’t know wth she was talking about but I ended up figuring it out.

Had to upgrade because we now have multiple Apple tvs, tablets, phones, PCs in our house. Was pushing our Linksys e4200 to the limit. This one works great.

My previous Netgear router needed replacement due to age and numerous new devices added.The Nighthawk gave me the extra capacity and range I needed.

Replaced D-Link DIR-820L which was less than a year old and was requiring frequent reboots despite having the latest firmware. I haven't used nearly all of the features yet, but have had no problems at all compared to the D-Link. Firmware upgrade was almost painless, with the router handling all of the downloading on its own rather than having to download it to my local machine, unzipping the file, then pointing the router to the file for the update. It does take up a lot of space though, and lights up a dark room with its many LEDs. Fortunately you can turn off all but one of the LEDs (which is still a bright white.)

Good speeds, good range. Running connected to gigabit internet. Have on first floor of 2 story home. Get solid speeds throughout basement and 2nd floor (300 Mbps). Have had a few issues where it seems to go down when my kids connect their Chromebooks for school. Probably 5 occurrences over a month.

I upgraded to this router from an older NETGEAR WGR614v5 model that was purchased in 2005. Connecting to this router for the first time was like going from dial-up to cable! We have multiple ipads, laptops and other devices in our home, and there are no drops and everyone is satisfied. If you had complaints from the kids previously about intermittent wifi, this router will solve your problem!

I bought this item to assist with the signal in a commercial building. It has greatly increased the signal and works well. We have noticed a significant increase in speed/signal using this product. I would highly recommend.

Been using this for just under a year. I had an Asus before this and I loved that. There are so many more options in the settings to tweak with allowing me configure everything on my network. Great, strong, and far signal even through walls. Very easy to setup and manage with the Blackhawk app (even remote management)

Great router! Easy setup! Range is awesome. 4 bars all throughout my house. WiFi extenders all sitting on the counter now...no need!

Didn’t want to rent from our provider (Spectrum). Read a lot of great reviews for this product and it did not disappoint. We are able to get the Internet speed that we pay for. Easy set up and no issues. Pairs well with our Netgear modem. Would highly recommend.
