    I had an older router from Netgear that was limiting my internet speed before so I knew it was time to upgrade. Since the last time I bought one was 10 years ago and the number of connected devices we have at my home increase drastically this router has been reliable strong and easy to use especially with the nighthawk app.

    I read others reviews & was very skeptical about purchasing this router! I figured with the 45 day return policy I was safe enough to try it out... well, it's been nearly 45 days & we absolutely love this router! We have nearly 40 items constantly running off the router & now with this Nighthawk, everything is nearly perfect! The only issue we have is with the Xbox ONE's... we have 3 of these systems in the house & the Xbox ONE's do not like the Nighthawk router...however, call up Netgear & after they walked us through getting them setup, have not had any issues since. Others have said they had issues with their router dropping and having to reset...well, we did have the first week of wondering if we'll have that same issue, but once we got through the hiccups, everything works perfect! Let's face it...we all are gaining more & more electronics requiring a better router....the Nighthawk answers that problem with an A++++ ... at some point we'll probably have 50+ items requiring an even better router...lol...just hope by then there is yet another better one!

    This router was so easy to set up. The App is very useful in that regard and to monitor home devices. Zero lag since we got it. Running 4 laptops, a gaming PC, Xbox one and all our phones. Handles it all. It’s nice to be able to assign devoces to different bands to help avoid overcrowding.

    Purchased this router/went all in on this router for my home. We have 2 stories and brick walls and the signal is strong throughout the home. Love that it has multiple bands and can assign devices automatically to the fastest band for fast speeds. Paired this with a Motorola Surfboard modem (SB6183) and my internet FLYS! Will be setting my parents home up with this same combo. Future proof your internet setup with this combo for years to come!

    We have an 3K sq ft house. This router is excellent for large homes. In far corner we are still getting 58G speed. I would definitely recommend this item.

    Consdering you should only buy this if you have a 100+ Mbps internet, it gets really nice going. Updated software lets you fully customize the bandwidt delivery. It also has a ton of customization options and the range is more than I expected. Lab tests showed great results among devices connected (intranet). Tottaly worth it.

    Best Netgear Router yet

    I've used several routers in the past and all of them have worked for a short time and all have had limited range. I have a large house, 3000 square feet, and the range has always been limited. We have several devices connected and needed something with a little more power. This router has exceeded my expectations. I was able to get the deal with Batman Arkham Knight for the ps4 included. The look of the router is very cool, however could be a hindrance with the many antennas sticking out. I've been using the router since June and not one issue.

    This is a fast router/AP. Certainly more than capable of the fast speeds offered by ISPs. The six antennas are fragile. It was knocked of a shelf and fell less than 2 feat. The antennas were extended at the time and it landed on them and broke two of them. The performance, surprisingly, does not seem to have suffered. This device is definitely not as durable as onset with stumbles, but it IS fast! I am unable to find replacement antennas for it.
