    Excellent Router

    1900 square feet , two levels on each. This router is placed in the basement in a corner bedroom due to constraints. The router covers the entire house on both levels including a bedroom in the opposite corner on the top level. It definitely drops off in speed in that corner of the house , but I can still get 50mgbs there from my original 200mgbs service, which is good enough for tablets , cell phones, and Alexa.

    Easy setup, 2 5gb channels are good for “his and hers” bands. Very fast for our connected house.

    Set up was a breeze. Once I downloaded the nighthawk app to my phone, the only thing I need to look up was the router name and password on the router. The set up routine then allowed me to rename the router to my old router name and establish the old password. Now all former devices will automatically connect to this router without any changes to the devices. Set up was great.

    The Nighthawk X6 is great for my home where we have dozens of connected devices. It is able to prioritize streaming devices like TVs to maximize quality. It has been a great improvment.

    Easy set up, but not as powerful as I was led to believe. I expected to have max bars for a signal but this is not the case. My house is only 2400 sf, yet I have only about 3/4 signal. Should be more powerful for the price

    I purchased this and had it up and running pretty fast. Once I made all of the devices in the house communicate with it I have not had a problem. The biggest hassle of any router is changing all of your passwords on every device. I felt this was easy to use. I have not noticed a time that it has dropped a connection. We have Xbox One, Xbox360, 2 or 3 iPads, Thermostat, Harmony Remotes x3, 2 computers and 4 phones. In about the last month I have had zero issues.

    I was looking for a wifi router that could service up to ten users at once. I went overboard with this one, which reportedly can handle many more users, but I didn't want any slow downs. So far, so good!

    We have many devices using the wi-fi in our house. This router seems to be doing the job without any device being dropped or slow downloads. We have x-box one, 3 computers and 3 tablets and 4 i-phones.
