    This wireless router is easy to connect and setup. It often runs 4-5 devices streaming Netflix, Hulu or Prime with no issues. Highly recommend.

    I recently moved from where I have everything hardwired so I am used to very fast internet speed. For example browsing the internet, checking email and file sharing between computers. Well were I moved I didn't have the time to hardwire the new place so I thought I would get the fastest wireless router I could find and found this one. It has been great, I haven't noticed any slow down with any of my normal activities. The router has been great and I'm glad I gave it a try. It was a lot easier than trying to run RJ45 all over the place.

    We went from a router and modem combo to separate router and modem. We now are able to support the over 20 devices with out the lag. It was very easy and quick to set up as well.

    Amazing Tri-band router

    The Nighthawk was easy to setup. The App Netgear provides makes the initial setup very easy but there are some quirks that required a second pass to complete the setup. I recommend letting the App configure the router as it wants with default information to complete setup then change the password and other settings later on since trying to do everything at the same time caused the setup to fail. Other than the initial setup challenges the router works great. Very good distance and the ability to split the 5G network makes life easy.

    Great router for High Speed ISP services. Range wasn't quite a good as expected, considering my older N600 gave roughly the same signal strength in all the areas I've tested so far. However, with our new modem and ISP service, it's definitely an upgrade. Still struggling to understand why the range isn't noticeably different from my previous N600 despite being located in same location (Open and centralized).

    Much better than old router. A lot stronger. Reaches farther. Old router had to have a booster. The new one does not need a booster for me to use downstairs.

    Man I was trying my best to find out what to do to have great internet speeds at my game room. I've got Fiber 1000 and wanted to get close to that without having to run an Ethernet through the house. I tried out the Google Nest Wifi Router but while playing the latency would take a dip and cause the game to skip, which isn't good for online gaming. I got the Netgear Nighthawk and it lets me assign three WiFi networks, two on 5Ghz, so I can have certain products at home on the 2.4 and just my gaming stuff on 5.

    This is one of the best home routers I have ever owned! It has been nearly six months since we purchased this router, and it is located above our garage where they brought the Cable in. There have been NO issues with signal strength to the top, middle, or bottom floors with this Linksys Router. And it handles the gaming of an Xbox One, the streaming of three Roku devices, and the online data of phones for two adults and 7 random teenagers easily!! You have the ability to prioritize the importance of each device with an easy to use interface.

    Somewhat disappointed with the range of the router at this price point. Having the 3 different bands is nice for attaching your various wireless devices. Spectrum set me up with ultra fast internet and this router tested at 460 mgbts download. Probably will have to set up an extender for far end of the house. Software set up/app needs some improvement; still not fully loaded. Had some hang ups loading, so I finally gave up.
