    Seems faster than my previous one. However, I think it's a little too expensive.

    Got this to replace my Netgear R7000 after adding more WiFi devices to our home. The added bandwidth is a huge help and the dual 5G channels is a big plus as well. May end up flashing it to DD-WRT to add some extra features but for now it's done the job I bought it for. Just get it.

    We moved into a larger multi level home. We were struggling to get wireless signal to all our devices. This router has solved that issue!! Now have phenomenal speed throughout the house. The only thing is you may need adapters for your PCs if their network adapter does not accept 5ghz. Router is worth every penny, especially if you catch a sale on it.

    Great router and does its job. Had an older Apple Airport that started cutting in and out. Covers the entire house including the basement. Kids watch movies and the play video games. Since COVID hit it and working from home became a necessity, this really helped everybody.

    My old WiFi router was failing and before buying a new one, I went to Best Buy OnLine to see what was available. The reviews assisted, but after installing the product and working through the setup, I couldn't be happier. I combined the router with an "NetGeare" WiFi extender and now have three-bar coverage throughout the house and garage apartment.

    Works great, and best Buy helped with some questions. We have a 2400 sq foot house and this provides a good signal throughout the house. The previous one didn't reach upstairs bedrooms. I had researched a relay, but this seems better and easier. I'd recommend connecting desktop computers using Ethernet as possible to avoid slowing the wifi.

    Works great no problems and very easy set up. Had the airport extreme for 18 months then it started dropping connection had best buy warranty it through the extended protection but the new one was dead out the box. Once again best buy took care of it with no questions asked. The netgear router is very fast and great range, no dead spots like with the apple.

    Excellent router. Easy to install & setup. The built in router that is in my modem is junk, constantly kicked off the 5ghz channel. This router doesn't give me that issue. I disabled the wifi on the modem so there is less congestion in the air with the channels.

    The Lamborghini of WiFi Routers

    Wow...Wow...Wow! If power and speed is what you need, this is your router! Folks, this router is for the heavy user who lives in a fairly large home. I pay for 100mbps down but regularly get 112-115 using this Nighthawk. My old router gave me barely 70. This is probably one of the best routers on the market hands down for this price.

    Definitely an upgrade from my old modem router combo. I bought this along with the newest nighthawk modem and they have worked great so far. I have a two story home and before I had trouble with WiFi upstairs, now I can get WiFi throughout the whole house without interruption

    This router fills all my needs, it handles all my electronic devices with its 3 WiFi bands balancing and selecting always the best one for your device. Easy to setup thanks to its UI website and also a very great phone application which is easier than the website. Totally recomendable!

    First off, this is a VERY nice router and has many features for it's price. It's a little large for a desk, but also has the option for wall hanging. Provides Wi-Fii all over my 2000 square feet multilevel home when my previous one lost service in a few rooms. Has a built in Circle by Disney router to help control the kid's viewing and easy access to remotely shut off the router if there's an issue. However, the Circle option is limited compared to buying a separate Circle (I own one), so I opt to use the Circle since it has more free features. It easily shows if something connected is off-line, such as my main PC because the button light will go orange. It holds a strong Wi-Fi connection to all devices and has WPS as well as log in options to connect. There's guest option that can be turned off, and 2.4 and 5 G options and a built in optimizer option for best connection options. Overall, I've used this product for over a month now and have no issues with the device. It does take a few minutes to set up and learn how it works, but it's easy to configure (I changed all the settings to the previous router and every device connected instantly).
