Router has issues

I have used Netgear routers for years. I have been having problems with this unit. It drops the internet every 2 days (Spectrum) and rebooting the router restores the connection. This is a pain. Netgear is sending a replacement. The router is great when it is working. I don't know how many others are having this issue, but there are plenty of posts on the internet with the same problem. Hopefully, the new unit will solve the problem.

Fairly easy to setup with the app. Dashboard is easy to navigate. Noticed instant speed increases compared with my old Charter Sagecom WiFi router. It seems you get what you pay for.

Use this to have my security cameras on a separate band from the two household members. Runs without a hitch and the signal reaches across the entire house cleanly. Setup was very quick as always basically being plug and play. Would recommend as always from Netgear.

My old writer began to drag. It was five years old. After replacing it with this new router we were able to stream videos on multiple tablets and watch AppleTV all at the same time seamlessly. It was very easy to install and seems to work really well. I would recommend This router.

Just got this item to replace my old ASUS router. Didn't expect it doubled the speed of my wifi. I can separate now the work loud of my wifi enabled devices. It is so easy to setup and didn't even have to call technician. I would highly recommend this.

Love this router, you can manually assign what band to use on your devices or let the unit do this automatically. With all the different devices in the house there has been no slowdown or lack of coverage. I would recommend it.

Upgraded to Nighthawk after using an Airport Express for several years…..WOW. HUGE speed jump. Easy setup…LOVE the auto network switching (wear it will choose an appropriate network to join (either one of the 5ghz's, or the 2.4ghz) pending the need of the device.

This gives me a range to about my driveway and it is plugged in the back of my home. It is much faster than my modem so I dont get full potential use. But every tv in the house can run along with 6 computers with zero issues.

So far used it 2 months and was super easy setup and had plenty of power to deliver strong signal to all our devices and smart home items. Even works good in far reaches of large backyard. Plus inside our 2300sq ft home.

This is replacing an Apple Airport Extreme. As the amount of devices accessing our Wi-Fi network, we noticed that sometimes devices would have a problem connecting. Disconnecting a device that was on the network from the network allowed for the device not connecting to the network to connect to the network. I just wanted to write that sentence.
Anyway, this has solved that issue. There wasn't as noticeable of a speed bump in connectivity and in fact, I feel like the wired connection (my PS4 connects through ethernet) is slower than the Airport Extreme.
If I had to offer my biggest gripe is that the sticker on the front leaves behind a lot of adhesive when remoted.

This router is amazing. I opted for this model when my old router crapped out and stopped giving me the gigabit speeds I was paying for. Setup was easy and within a half hour my speeds were back to normal and I get full wifi coverage in every room.

I was having all kinds of connectivity issues with my old router, so I replaced it with this one. It has been fabulous. It is fast, reliable, and I have not had a single issue. I highly recommend this product.
