    Needed to replace a 8 plus year old Apple router that was becoming unstable We called the Geek Squad for a recommendation. The Agent asked the questions he needed to and pointed us to the Nighthawk X6S router. A different Agent came to the house and inside an hour the unit was installed and all three (3) WAP's and all WiFi printers were on the network. Great job to all - thank you.

    Before the purchase of my Nighthawk AC4000 Tri-Band Wi-Fi 5 Router I was experiencing lagging during streaming videos and dropped connections along with network delays. Since June 11, 2019 my network runs smooth with three dedicated WiFi bands: a 2.4 GHz band and two 5 GHz bands. Tri-band WiFi optimizes my connection speeds of each device on my network based on their speed and performance. Excellent purchase from Best Buy.

    The X6S has worked well so far. It handles our heavy wifi bandwidth usage like a champ (concurrent, internet browsing, gaming, and two Netflix streams). The only negatives are the lack of fine QOS tuning and a fairly large footprint. The Nighthawk app needs better engineering to make it work with the X6S.

    Best purchase I made in a while...the picture quality is superior to the TV we replaced. The reviews we read about was mostly 5 fives from satisfied customers. I want to mention It takes a day or two to get use to the remote control. I want to express my gratitude to the GEEK-SQUAD in their customer service and professional skills and knowledge while installing our TV. They answered all our questions. Great team to work with.

    This is my third netgear router. All have been good for what I needed. This particular router has some nice features. I particularly like the 3 band's. The only issue I have come across is that at times the router does not switch bands as it says it will. I have found that resetting the unit fixes this. If not for that I would give it five stars.
