    This blows the $250.00 Linksys router away. This Netgear is my first Netgear product and it does exactly what the company and the Best Buy Rep said it would. Completely satisfied!

    My roommate had this router, but he had to move out so I ended up buying the same one without realizing. Love having tri-band and the speeds it puts out.

    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 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.

    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

    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.

    I initially bought an eero mesh system to replace my old outdated Netgear but had to return it because it would not recognize my wireless printer. Eero tech services told me due to their security system their router would never connect to my Canon printer. I took them back and pruchased the Nighthawk X6…it instantly connected to my printer by itself. So far the X6 has performed great. Lots better reach than my old one.
