I may have gotten a lemon product, however I believe Netgear's quality control should have caught the issue. I bought this router, took it home and configured it with a new SSID and password, allocated bandwidth to a few devices and did speed tests. All was working well for a few weeks, then I had to unplug the router to clean and reorganize. I powered it down using the power button, unplugged it from the surge protector, discharged it, and set it aside. When I reinstalled it and powered it on, it did not retain any previous settings. I flashed it with stock firmware from Netgear's website and reconfigured it with my settings. This time a saved a .cfg profile just in case. I powered it down and up again with the same result. Basically the router would flash to factory settings whenever power is turned off. Great router if it never ever turns off. Hard pass from me.

None of the kids complain about lag while gaming... so it must be working very well! Disney+, YouTube, Netflix on a 4K TV all working great. We have 3 gaming systems running at the same time, along with a streaming TV.

Awesome WiFi5 router I upgraded from the 3200 to the 4000. Hasn’t really given me any issues so far. Product lets you link the netgear nighthawk app to configure settings and control devices.

Worked perfect for having the whole family home during covid and never had an issue with many devices connected

I can't speak to the routing capability because I use this in bridge mode as a wireless access point. But what I can speak to is that I have excellent wifi coverage throughout an entire 2-story 3800 sq ft home!

This device allows us to give priority to some wi-fi devices over others. A negative is that when it needed reset it did not retain priority settings.

This router is a great investment. I’ve had this one for nearly a month and it’s been wonderful. It offers plenty of security like I’ve never seen. It alerts you everytime a new device is connected to it.

Purchased but had a faulty one. Exchanged without issue, works like a champ. Download tests wirelessly is pulling 250mb on a 400mb connection. Good to call support to help get off of some of the factory settings to make it a bit more efficient

Our regular Att box ran really slow, we have now added this and good bye to Wi-Fi issues. All of our tvs, devices, phones, etc run off of this one device! Deal maker!

Wired i get 250 mbps wireless it pushes 35-40 mbps max. Not a great wifi signal. My older router would push 130-140 mbps wireless and 250 mbps wired. Usually i buy linksys but they didnt have one i needed so I bought this one. It was an emergency and now i remember why im not a fan of netgear because the wireless signals are trash on them.

Allows a good view into your network and offers additional security by installing apps on PCs and mobile devices. I have 30+ devices from cameras and alarm system to PCs, laptops, iPads ETC. it keeps up.

With a family of 3 gamers, over a dozen devices, and a repulsion to spinning wheels of doom, it is important to have WiFi that can keep up with our demands. The Nighthawk X6S has been that router for us - the one that can keep up!

AAA +++ Download nighthawk app. 1-2-3 set up. Plug and play. My network is 2 Xbox, 3 ipads, 1 imac, 1 ps4, 4 cell phones, 6 blink cameras, 3 apple watches, 3 smart tv’s.

i have cameras needed the 2.4 ghz band.so i was glad it was separate from the 5ghz bands...connectivity several phones,laptops,tv's, computer good internet thru out the home and garage. highly recommend this router ...

I really enjoy that this Router has the ability to prioritize its bandwith. With so many devices being connected at once I like the ability to say which is more important.

This router replaced my aging R7000 which served me well for almost 3 years. I was able to add more devices and not have connection drop outs. This may be overkill for some, but for me and my needs, it continues serve very well.

We have multiple devices in our house including an Xbox One. Overall experience has been solid. Occasionally have to reboot router but it’s simple to do on the Nighthawk App.

Two grandsons running Minecraft on separate computers playing with each other in the game, plus my laptop and 4 cellphones all running at the same time - no dropped calls or problems with the games.

Overall Id's say good product but doesn't reach as far as I expected. We have over 50.000 sq ft building and it barely covers our office area.

I was pleased with my purchase of this router. It was easy to setup and provides the coverage I needed. At any given time we have 8 to 10 wifi instruments connected with no loss of signal usually over 500 mbps.
