    Over all a good product. I was supposed to get it for $20 less, but didn't realize the charged me full price until I got home. Anyway, it seems to work just fine and the Genie app you can put on your phone and computer works well.

    Getting off my internet providers combined Wi-Fi in the modem has done wonders. After 9 months completely pleased across entire house and best thing is that internet providers products wi-fi was always failing or not working. This has maintained consistent reliability and avoiding hours of calls with the provider to trouble shoot every 6-8 weeks or service call replacing devices every few months ....no more.

    Excellent Wireless Router

    My existing router was a top end wireless router. I'm not sure if it was old, damaged or both but my connected devices needed to continually re-connect to it to be connected to internet. I approached a Best Buy salesman and he highly recommended this NetGear Nighthawk Router. It streams data, movies, etc. seamlessly and thus far I not lost any connection from my connected devices. And it won't break the bank!

    This was recommended to me by a sales rep who knew what they were talking about. Has done a good job of managing bandwidth for all my devices. I live in a townhome with the above ground basement and the signal actually doesn't have a problem getting to the basement. The only thing that irritated me until i change the settings are the lights on the device are bright as heck when you're trying to go back to sleep.

    This router has solved our issues. Our internet provider service issued a lesser netgear box that didn’t perform & they suggested we buy a better one. Our home is new construction w/ very thick walls. This netgear works!

    I wasn't getting the wireless speeds I was paying for at home so I decided it was time to get a new wireless router. Went to Best Buy and a guy recommended a few different ones including this one. WOW what a huge improvement over my old router. I am now getting the speeds I am paying for all over my house. Such a difference and as always Best Buy associates are so helpful. This was a great purchase.

    We bought this because our internet provider kept cutting out and interrupting shows, making it difficult to get through a program. We have not had any problems with this device and it was easy to set up

    I bought this router after reading hundreds of reviews on dozens of different routers. THE NIGHTHAWK IS LEGIT! Easy to install and replaced my sketchy Brighthouse router. My wireless speed stays steady around 109mbps (our plan speeds are supposed to cap at 100mbps). Those speeds are with 6 phones, ps3, xbox one, wii u, 2 laptops and a desktop all connected at once. I will be buying a 2nd one for my office soon.
