    The best I've had so far

    I've had three wireless modems in three years. This is by far the best. All the signals are strong and available far away from the device. Bes for streaming movies. We have more than 10 wireless devices and it works so well. So happy with it.

    My computer is in my office in our basement and we were having problems getting a good signal in our 2nd floor TV room making it very hard to watch Netflix, etc. This router was very easy to install and now we have a very strong signal upstairs so it definitely solved our problem.

    We run 13 wireless devices using the NETGEAR - Nighthawk X6 AC3200 Tri-Band Wi-Fi Router (R8000) - Black. It has been an excellent device. I am very satisfied and would recommend this to anyone who has a large house running multiple devices.

    Fairly easy to set up, I think I appreciated the older interface as opposed to the new Genie, highly guided one. Nice and powerful range wise, solid speed. Would buy again.

    A surprisingly effective router, which even though is placed inefficiently in my home (hanging on the back wall) quite happily covers all 2000 sq ft of my house and even the adjacent out building. Set up was fairly simple although admittedly the Nighthawk app could use some work (it really does not like my phone) but since I am rarely changing settings on the fly that's not much of an issue.

    So this is for a small business - when it is fast, reliable and easy to set up - that checks all the boxes for me. Had everything up and running within minutes and it is a power house.

    They say you don't know what you don't know. Prior to buying this router i thought i was taking advantage of my full internet speed. I sure was wrong. This router is way faster and works better with my portable devices. Game console also is much faster.

    Solid router/AP

    I purchased this router, but I use it as an Access Point. The great thing, is that is comes with two radios, 1 in the traditional 2.4GHz range and one in the 5GHz range. I needed a much more powerful signal, while also receiving great bandwidth for video streaming and several other wireless devices. I can consistently stream five different video streams consisting of 720p and 1080p. I have not had any issues out of the product, and on several others I have tried before this one; would need routine reboots. Those others would lock up or simply stop responding. No issues as of yet out of this one. Good price point for a solid and powerful platform.

    Total worth the price. Easy to setup. Was going to hire an electrician to rewire my house. Got this instead to see if it would help. Better then expected. Ended up saving me hundreds of dollars.

    Good router, easy to configure

    Bought the router yesterday it is easy to install and configure. Have lot of configuration. I was looking for the parental control and extend my range, so I still evaluating if will solve both issues. I noticed that the circle app you have to pay monthly (4.99 as now) to use full features, what was not clear to me, so I would say that it is a cons. Also I am noticing some lag, trying to figure out if is my internet or the router. The usb sharing works as a charm, now I can easily share files between my Mac and pc

    This unit was extremely easy to get hooked up to my modem. My old router covered a decent range but this one has improved on that significantly. I have a 5000 square-foot house and used to have trouble picking up a signal in multiple areas. Now I have good coverage throughout the house. Highly recommended.

    Love the ability to set parental controls on one device rather than set them for each phone, tablet and pc. Would like to have an overide screen come up when something is blocked as sometimes I come across blocked sites wwn online. The coverage of router is great. I can be anywhere on our double lot and maintain my wifi.

    This is a very good router I wish I would've brought it first I have a satellite Internet system and because I'm in the country it doesn't work that properly but this router works much faster than the one on previously owned I would highly recommend it to anyone in need of a router I was surprised at how good it worked

    This router solved the problems we were experiencing. This gives coverage for all of our wireless needs throughout our 4200 sq. foot home. We use this in place of the Comcast router which would not reach all of the rooms in the house. This is a great router if you have a gamer in the house like we do.

    Netgear Nighthawk R8000

    The Netgear brand was recommended by my local (small business) ISP. This particular device is clearly on the higher end of wireless routers and is arguably overkill for my true needs; however, as technology advances, it will 'future-proof' my little world for some time to come. It was a breeze to set up, and connectivity was almost instantaneous. Installed it on a high shelf in the middle of my home, and it does a great job of covering everything and everywhere, with visiting users wandering here and there with their mobile devices without a single peep of complaint. I'm super happy with this router, and do not hesitate to give it the highest rating.
