I won't need another router for a few years, Thank you!

The router has a strong signal throughout my 1500 sq ft town home. It can load balance devices across multiple channels and I tested 3 devices streaming Netflix or YouTube for several hours with no skipping or latency. The web-based interface is easy to use and the router sports some advanced configurations for better administration control, advanced policies, etc. The router is large but it looks cool and will serve as a great home or small office router. One final thought, the web-interface is similar to WNDR or earlier model Netgear routers so if you owned a previous Netgear router this one will be easier to use as its configurations will look all too familiar.

Very stable the software was very painless to install

So happy we got this router. NO more problems in our tri level home with dead spots, weak signal etc. Highly recommend anyone in getting this. Well worth not having frustration anymore! Worth every penny!

I was told by geek squad that this product will be great coverage for my home but it doesn't work. I still can't get coverage in my back room. It was easy to set up. You don't need to pay the $99 for geek squad's install.

We ended up taking it back, because we didn't need it

This router definitely out performs my previous netgear router. It gets much more distance and even using it for my business has features we probably wont even need or use. Its a good value.

Great signal for multiple floors. Super for gaming.

Works great! Was set up. Wish it had a little longer range.

I bought this thinking it was more powerful than my ATT unit. I have to use an extender and thought also I could discontinue that as well. The answer is NO is does not perform any better. Yes, I’m still using an extender. The three WI-fi channels are handy.

Needed a stronger router to keep up with all the extra devices being used during Coronavirus home bound time.

I got this because I was upgrading my cable. Completely different world from what I had before. I know it is pricy, but it works

Had issues with this router. Specifically with iOS devices. It more often than not will refuse to let iphones or ipads on the network by saying the device has the incorrect password. Then miraculously it will work after a reboot (or by trying many many times). I found others with the same problem on a few forums, and it's been going on for a while. Wish I had known this before buying it. I can't recommend this router because I had to return it and I replaced it with an Asus that doesn't have these problems. Both routers were configured identically, yet this one was unable to cut it. On the other hand, the speed and range of it were excellent. It's a shame it doesn't play nice with some devices though. I really wanted to like this one. Netgear has always been my goto router company, and will likely give them another shot in the future. But this specific one was a large bust for me. Couldn't get it to work.

This is the best router out there and fixed an issue in our house with multiple devices. With Netflix and 5 or more iPads and phones being used, it gets a little crowded. This router sped up everything!

love the fact it has 3 different wi-fi to choose from

My internet connection is so much better now. My old router use to lose signal to my TV all the time. Now that I have purchased the Netgear Nighthawk, I no longer have this problem.

Once I got configured it, the access to my current internet speed increases on all my devices. The installation requires an extra reading to get the specs of your current modem and service provider.

We have a large family and many devices connected at once. Keeps up with our needs. We had the previous model and needed to replace so we got the newer version of what we had. Awesome!

Needs a better explanation on how to use features!

Router works great. Bought to replace a Monthly payment to cable company. The wizard is good but has been dumbed down little too much, making it harder to find advanced settings.
