    I consider this being a good alternative to the AC5300 model. This is newer, and while it is not an AC5300 this is actually faster than it. Also, you can pick this one up for 300 dollars less a lot of the time.

    We bought this router for the all-in-one computer with intentions of purchasing a new tv in the near future. As far as distance goes, it covers the house and surrounding area. So far it's working well.

    Totally worth the price as it speeds up everything but I will forewarn you that if you buy it when you have more than just a weak/outdated router currently, this will help but if you have too many spliced wires/plugs it will not be as helpful as you expect/hope but will still improve.

    Someone suggested the Nighthawk router because my son is a gamer and we only stream things to watch online. We are extremely happy with it...even my son who has hated every router we have ever bought.

    The nighthawk x4s router is a great router for those people with a poor internet connection. It easily boosted my speeds anywhere from 5-15 Mbps, which for those of you with slower speeds, is a big upgrade.

    I don’t ask for much from my router. I only require it to keep up with constant streaming, smart phones, and online MMORPG’s... all at the same time, with no noticeable lag. This one keeps up!

    The signal strength throughout the house is improved and the netgear allows multiple devices to access wireless services simultaneously. The room for improvement relates to the occasionally sluggish signal to the 4K - usually streams perfectly, but every once in a while ...

    Great Router with Advanced Features

    I was in the market for a new WiFi router and wanted something using the latest 802.11ac standards. I am using this to replace the router provided by my CenturyLink Fiber internet service. The WiFi is perfect and I haven't had issues with connection or speed with any of the devices in my house. The web interface also very easy to use and gives you access to a lot of advanced features (a few of which I needed in order to make my router work properly with CenturyLink's Prism TV service). The thing itself is a bit of a beast, so make sure you have a good spot for it.

    Excellent Choice for router so far

    Where I'm at, we have Spectum, previously BrightHouse network, and with a Linksys router I had nothing but troubles, loss of connection, on this network. It always appeared as DNS error because internet addresses weren't being resolved. Their DNS server isn't speedy and has issues that I can tell, but they won't admit to it. Fortunately, the Netgear router (and my Netgear modem) manages that delay sufficiently that I have no issues anymore unlike the competition model that also had other issues with Wifi connectivity and stability. I have none anymore. I also bought a Netgear extender and it's working great. I am very pleased with my NETGEAR - Nighthawk X4S and would highly recommend it

    The router is easy to set up and has been stable with no problem handling my Comcast 200/10 service. So far it hasn't had any problems or dropped connection. Would recommend for a normal home.
