    Very good router. High throughput, decent range, easy to setup and also access via a smartphone. I was hoping the range was a touch better which is why it gets 4 instead of 5 stars

    I have used the X6 for a month now and even though I have had the X10 earlier, I think that is an overkill. The X6 is great everyday midrange router.

    I replaced a dual band router that would have a lot of lag once the grandkids started playing on their iPads. Now they can play and I can stream 4k movie on Netflix.

    From the stellar reviews this item wad given I was expecting stronger signals at a better distance. Works a little better than my old cisco wireless router that is 4 years old but not impressed for the price I paid.

    Best buy associate recommended this one. My wifi speed is excellent. If you have at least 2 4k smart tv, get this one. Apps run smoother no buffering.

    Worst WiFi router I've ever owned

    This router replaced an older Netgear Wireless AC router that performed flawlessly until it's death. Purchased this router as a replacement. The router initially pleased me and my family of users with fast response when connected to the router. Connection to the router for mobile devices is treacherous at best. Router doesn't recognize the correct password on iOS devices and also our Galaxy 10e phones. The devices are rejected by the router constantly and do not auto reconnect to the network when we come home. The connection to mobile devices is driving this rating. We live in a low reception area for T-Mobile and also previously with Verizon so WiFi calling is essential for us. On the plus side, Netgear just released a firmware update that is supposed to correct the issue. Just installed the update today and performance does seem somewhat improved. The jury is definitely still out on this router. I so much wanted to like this router, setup was easy, also allows users to use the same network for different connection protocols (n, g, AC, etc.) which my old router could not do and greatly simplifies printer sharing with all devices on the same network regardless of the speed protocols.

    I have had the Router for about a month now and Love it! I have been able to get much quicker connections and my drop off rate through the router is minimal. At the house we connected 3 computers, 2 TVs, Printer, Storage Drive, 3 phones and 3 iPads none of them have had issues running with the system. I also like the Netgear Genie software which allows me to turn users on or off...Its amazing how well my daughter and I listen when my wife threatens to turn off our wifi access :)
