    I have 72 kids, and reliable WiFi can be tricky

    Between me, my wife, and all of our kids (4 to be exact) there are a lot of devices (gaming included) that need reliable WiFi connection and the ability to support simultaneous usage. This router supports that and allows all my smart home enabled devices to operate accordingly. Easy setup, and plenty of customizable features as well. Don’t setup a home network, control it. If I had one complaint, it’s that I wish it could fold the laundry too.

    I was comparing the X6S and a mush router for almost the same price. I got X6S thinking it would be able to take all my devices (around 30) which it did but suffering from a major issue. Pros: 1- Powerful signal 2- Three networks and a separate guest network 3- doesn't lose speed when adding more than 30 devices Cons: 1- Loses all settings if you lose power 2- They say it comes with Parental control through an app called Circle, not true, you have to pay extra to use it 3- It has a mobile app that doesn't allow you to connect new devices via the WPS button which makes the app useless 4- Expensive

    Replaced an old D-link with this Nighthawk 4000 after having a new fiber internet connection installed. Works better than expected. Now I can get WiFi everywhere in the house and 5g in most areas. The house is a 4800 sqf two story. Have two access points that I probably don't need but they work fine and provide 5g where the Nighthawk 5g signal is weak. Oh and it was almost $100 less at Best Buy than Micro Center.

    I switched to the nighthawk from the wifi 6 Orbi mesh. Loved the Orbi but this one is exponentially faster. I don’t have 6e capable devices yet but the speed for all my regular devices has nearly tripled. My ps5 ran at 330mbs with the Orbi. It’s at 830mbs with the new nighthawk. My iPhone now gets close to 900mbs. I can’t wait to see what a 6e device is capable of

    Works great for large households with lots of modern devices streaming, gaming, and anything else that involves the internet! Guest network, 5G bands 1&2, as well as a guest network with 2.4G and 5G bands! 1G Speeds! Love the Circle family management app lets me restrict content on certain devices not just one. as well as the security shield to protect you're family from viruses!
