    I recently upgraded my internet speed through Comcast from 200 MBPS to 600 MBPS as part of a 2 year contract. I never rent the 2 in 1 unit that comcast will lease to you. As a result of the upgrade I needed to purchase a new modem and router. This router was easy to install. You can monitor your networks through the app. This router can handle streaming on multiple devices at the same time all while having other computers, tablets and phones on the network at the same time.

    I bought it to replace an older netgear model. It's a lot faster and has a better signal at the far end of the house. It handles all of our connections. We don't play games so I can't comment on gaming performance.

    We've had problems in the past with trying to get the wi-fi to the other end of the house (didn't want to buy a booster), but Netgear's Nighthawk X6S AC4000 does the trick! It is the best router we've had to date.

    A great, fast router! Easy to set up. We had problems with our old one which wasn’t even more than 2 years old so we got this one and haven’t had a problem!

    This so far has been a good router. I replaced a Linksys AC4000 router. I will never ever own another Linksys product again. Netgear has stand behind their products and they keep the firmware up to date. The only issue I ran into with my new Netgear that seems to be across devices. This is where you have setup your router and set the admin password, then add a USB device to share. The USB device is not accessible, until you change the password for the Admin once more after its attached. Then everything works great. Also to use the USB you do not need SMB v1. Which is great news. I'm very happy with my purchase and would recommend it to family and friends

    Wow, I didn't realize how much faster our internet and streaming could be. The X6S steams multiple devices seamlessly and at speeds with no buffering. Love this router, it was worth the buy.

    Great product for mid sized homes with standard walls. Performance is great for most homes without the need of an extender. I love these for fairly open office spaces also.

    I live in a very solid 100+ year old farm house with oak framing and plaster walls over plaster. My previous router was just not powerful enough to get a strong signal throughout the house. And with 7 or 8 devices all competing for wi-fi it could really get bogged down. The Nighthawk X6 delivers excellent signals throughout and the speed has noticeably improved on the older devices. Installation of the router was a cinch, and every device hooked up right away. zI'm very happy with it.

    Good quality upgrade for an older Netgear model. Faster since it incudes 802.11-ac as well as N. It also appears to cover a larger area higher speeds with all antennas extended.

    I mainly purchased this because of the range it offered and because of the potential to future proof myself when I elect to get a higher download speed from my ISP. I must say, this has not disappointed so far. I have my router and modem on the second floor of my medium sized house and I am getting a solid connection in my backyard and in my basement. I have had a few people tell me that I screwed myself for having my devices on the second floor, but I knew that if I opted for a better modem I would avoid having to extenders or other devices to increase range and I would not have to move my devices at all. Great purchase that delivers.
