    Our Arlo is plugged directly into the router, but we're sure whether we are getting the fastest band or not.

    This product is amazing. We had internet issues for almost a year and then purchased this and our problems are gone. The internet is so fast now and we never loose connection. I highly recommend this product.

    Old router was in the 50’s for speed. As soon as the nighthawk was Installed speed went over 100.

    The Nighthawk router has improved the overall performance of Wi-Fi in my home dramatically. Netflix and Hulu are completely stable all over the house and even simple web browsing on the most remote spots in the house is dramatically improved. Simple installation and setup. This is a great router.

    I installed the WiFi router in the kitchen connected to the charter internet router in the bedroom by a cat7 cable through the attic. In this position i get strong coverage throughout the 3 bedroom single level home I live in and coverage in the back patio. Very satisfied.

    It had been a "few" years since the last time I upgraded my router....wow what a difference. Used to chalk up dead spots in the house to the fact that its an older house. No more deadspots after the upgrade! The NETGEAR genie interface and app are both super easy to use as well.

    The companion application works seamlessly, and having multiple channels is great for distributing bandwidth.

    With a growing family, my older router wasn't doing it's job. This router was overkill, according to the sales associate, but with a coupon, points, and sale price, It was slightly more than the one he was pushing. I don't want to buy a router every other year and I won't have to with this one.

    This router is great for a large space. Make sure to place in a central location for the best strength throughout the house. I wish the app had more functions to control what devices were on each channel. If I was going to do it again I would look into buying a mesh system though.

    I got this to replace my old AC3200 which was a very earlier version that did not function like it did when it was new. I had been pleased with it's performance, so I replaced it with a new version. What a difference! The new version handles anything, and everything!

    Until now, I have almost exclusively purchased Linksys routers. Switching to the NETGEAR - Nighthawk X6 AC3200 router is probably one of the best computer related decisions I have made. The router was easy to install and configure. Perfect for my needs now, and room to grow.

    When shopping around for new gaming router I found that this thing is the best bang for your buck. I don't need it for gaming but I use it for my office. I have shared network folders and about 20 users. Even on WiFi the file transfer speeds are nice.
