    I am very conflicted on this purchase. I am past the 14 days to return it so I have to keep it now. But I purchased it based on a friends recommendation. It worked really well at first because my wifi router kept on going in and out. I bought this to try and boost the signal while working from home. 2 months later I switched companies and my new laptop was having a hard time staying connected to the internet. I am not sure if it had to do with security or the software on the new computer. I ended up going back to my other router and it worked fine.

    This router was easy to install and get running using the NETGEAR Genie. The streaming is excellent with my high speed modem feeding it. It does a great job in allowing movies to stream with little to no buffering interruption. Good value!

    Replaced an older model because it lacked range. I considered buying an extender, but decided to try Nighthawk first. The unit expanded the coverage, thus eliminating the need for an extender. Great product!

    We had a lot of difficulty using the less expensive routers due to the size of my home. We would loose Wi-Fi in the upstairs portion of my house. This router eliminated the need for booster and we can even use the Wi-Fi while enjoying the backyard.

    I purchased this router based on the large number of users (2 adults and 4 kids) in my household and it has worked as advertised. The only thing I am disappointed in is the range of the signal. It is less than what I expected and can't get a signal in a few parts of the house.

    This was purchased to cover very heavy usage in our house. We get signal everywhere around the 2500 SF Single Story and throughout the yard. Best Router we have ever used. Heavy Gaming, Streaming, 10+ devices and no issues at all.

    Blindingly fast (I had to get this after increasing my broadband speed from 50 to 120 Mbs). My old router wouldn't handle it. This has guest networks on all three bands so, If I enable them, I won't have to worry about my internal network being penetrated

    This is the best router I could have bought for the size of my home. My internet connection is very slow because of where I live. The video streaming is fast with excellent quality also. Internet connects are remarkably fast also.

    I purchased this router to get the Circle functionality, as well as to increase the range so I could get a signal in all the rooms in my house. So far, it has been a win for both needs. The router is sleek and was very easy to set up.

    Purchased this router to replace the Linksys router that we were currently using. After the purchase the problems which we were experiencing with the Linksys router disappeared and we were able to play the games the Linksys was stopping.
