    It works fine, it was a little weird to set up but once the app was downloaded it took less than 5 minutes. Signal is much better than my last one.

    Previous router was old; needed an update due to increased number of users on network. Super easy to install; took less than 10 minutes. No issues with connectivity since switching routers.

    I did some research on routers and found this one to be one of the better routers. It has surpassed my expectations and with 3 children playing various games, it is definitely meeting our needs.

    We live in a 100 year old apartment with 2 foot solid walls. Consistent signal (when our provider is behaving) throughout apartment and streaming video is a good test of signal. The Nigjthawk X6 gets an "A."

    Having three channels on one router has helped to run several wireless products at once and maintain a constant internet speed. I was experiencing slow speed with my old router and many interruptions to my connection.

    Needed better range than the standard AT&T router. It was a bit better on the range. Thought it would have been better. The speed of the WiFi improved that was nice.

    This router is worth every penny. I love the tri band which helps with connects. We utilize all three bands with all our devices which I believe helps with the speed. Our Internet is much faster.

    Nighthawk soars through the internet

    Nighthawk router was purchased to replace a older failing wifi router. It has some issues reaching the far ends of 2500 sq ft house but it is expected with several walls and floors to penetrate. The 5Ghz connection sometimes drops out even being within 10 ft of the device. Speeds when connected are great, and multiple devices can stream at the same time. There are about 30+ devices connected including many IoT smart things.
