    BUYER BEWARE. Do not buy this product. It started to fail due to a firmware issue at 99 days. Free technical support is good for 90 days, and it comes with a 1 year hardware warranty. Here's the kicker, if you are outside of the 90 day free tech support window, you need to shell out $ in the order of $50 (one time) or $140/year just to get them to evaluate it whether it's a software or hardware issue and whether it needs an RMA. I know what the problem is as plenty of people have mentioned it on the Netgear community website. Here's the link: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-WiFi-Routers/Netgear-Nighthawk-R8000P-Firmware-Update/m-p/1955796

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Firewall and ACL functionality needed

    Tis isn't a cheap router and for the price I'd expect better firewall and ACL functionality. Besides this major disappointment, it delivers. Parental controls are basic, leaves sometthing to be desired and cannot say I've gotten them to work consistently. The array of apps and controls are confusing. Inserts in the box, point you to netgear genie app, it's no longer supported so you're download the nighthawk app. Then Parental controls you are steered to "circle", I believe by Disney, however if you want you can opt to use openDNS if you're more technical, however it too is limited.
