    This router was as easy to setup as any. I'm getting 160mbps speed on wireless. Yes WIRELESS. I've never had a connection dropped or any issue at all. Best router I've ever owned.

    As a non-tech guy, I wanted a set and forget router. Product satisfied the need, only issue in a split level home is range when the device is not sitting in a central location (we have rooms on opposite ends of the home). Signal is a bit weak once you get multiple walls/floors in the way. Other minutia gripe is router size if you want to find a hiding place to get it out of sight. Not trying to cast a bad light, just things to consider.

    We have a houseful of wifi devices. I had a Linksys 1900AC router that was buggy and needed constant fiddling and rebooting. The 2.4GHz was almost non-functional after a year's use. I replaced with this Nighthawk and haven't had a single problem. Works fantastic and I honestly can't recall needing to reboot it once since it's installation a couple months ago. Best router I have had, seriously.

    This is one of the easiest routers I have ever set up. The range on this beast was exactly what we needed, covering the whole house. The guest network was also one of the slickest I've used, appearing completely seamless while allowing us to separate our work network from our IoT devices.
