    Great reception in every room of 2 floors. Two smart TV's, four iPads and three iPhones aren't a problem.

    Read all reviews from Bestbuy,Amazon etc before purchasing. Needed wifi coverage for. 5500 sq. Foot house and the old router (Apple AirPort Extreme) was not cutting it. Finally purchased this router and I'm never going back. Have 10+ devices running simultaneously and it can handle it all.

    I recently switched from the Comcast supplied router, and there were coverage issues with that unit. With the Nighthawk, those coverage issues are a thing of the past. Set-up was very straight-forward, and I'm very satisfied with the product.

    Very fast, assuming your wifi card is AC compatible. I've had it a month or so, I'm pleased with it so far.

    Now that the number of wireless devices in my home has increased to the point my N600-based router was rebooting all the time, this handles them all with no problem. Fast enough to set up a VPN on the router. Very fast wifi...now if I could just get 1G Internet service...It is pricey, though.

    This one is the best we have ever had. If my son shares the guest password with someone we don’t really want them to have it. We can actually kick them off the network and they aren’t able to reconnect. It’s great!

    I was generally happy with the performance of the router. I have dozens of connected devices and it scaled pretty well. Unfortunately, it died just shy of two years. At nearly $300, I expected it to last a bit longer.

    This router was very easy to set up. You can use their smart phone app or computer to perform initial configuration. It has great parental controls, Armor security for the router and computers and has Disney Circles for added parental controls.

    I bought this router only because my old apple time capsule finally died and I am glad I got it. It was such a great upgrade for all my devices, I have in my home. I know have blazing speed for everything. Cellphones, Wireless cameras, TV's and video games systems.

    This router is a powerhouse. I can run 12 wireless components with zero issues. 3 of which are used to stream hd to various tv's in the house from NAS drives I have hooked up to the system. I have yet to experience any lag. Great unit for a large home with lots of room to grow.

    Have over 50 devices connected to the WiFi. Still delivers top performance. Only way that I could get the performance from my internet provider was to use this router. Disabled the wifi provided by the modem. Hardwired the router to the modem. Very pleased.

    Worked Very Well For 11 Months

    I purchased this router at the start of the 2020 lockdown, since my old router was not going to cut it for working from home. The coverage is excellent, reaching every device in my house with ease, including the wireless cameras outside. We have had no issues with devices losing connectivity, and no speed dips, even under heavy usage with multiple devices. Then, suddenly, 11 months later, it started flaking out roughly once per day, requiring a reboot each time. I have reached out to support to see if they are releasing a firmware update to deal with this, but at this point, I do not recommend this model.
