    I have more than 30 devices using Wi-Fi and was always reseting my older router or unplugging devices. This makes my home very smart.

    Purchased this router to replace an existing similar router as the old router had begun to drop the WiFi network. So here we are a few months in to usage of this new nighthawk only to find that it will not upgrade its firmware. I then find out from the user forums that very many users across the country are having the same issue... but what is disturbing is that Netgear is completely silent! At this point I am considering buying another brand of Wi-Fi router, maybe mesh technology. This problem with the nighthawk router’s seems to have been going on for months now.

    This router is super fast and has tons of configurability. However, it requires a daily reboot on account of losing internet connection. My advice: look for a different router.
