Customer Ratings & Reviews

Just simple to set up! Very easy to use and operate.

East setup. All Computers, TVS, phones, working!!

I wanted to try this router out regardless of the bad reviews I have read all over the internet from those who own it, to netgears admission of firmware issues related to constantly disconnecting and the required downgrade and reboot of modem. I wanted to believe that I wasn't going to have the issues I read about but I have been having more and more issues each and every day. I work from home and bought this router because of its advanced options for creating VLANs, QoS(slowed connections down even worse), MU-MIMO, beamforming, airtime fairness and more. But it just proved to be more frustrating than anything and I cannot wait to return this product today. I tried to downgrade firmware, reboot, and just leave the settings as created by set up. I have tried too many things, I can't have my internet going out every 10 minutes while I am working with patients over telemed. Buyer be aware and move on to something else- product is boo boo.

We’ve had it for a month now. So far, so good.....

Works great! We even have wifi in the backyard now!

Superfast Wi-Fi, is great for movies in online gaming.

A router that routes stabili like it's supposed to

Best router on the market right now , really recommend

We bought a new 75" LG TV and the color is amazing.

No problems easy set up. Unit has multiple guest access

Item truly lives up to its name and superior quality

I bought this based on the reviews. After buying it and trying it out I returned immediately. Just a aweful router and netgear had the worst tech support.

It worked only for one year. I don't know if it was because of an update that was done or this product is designed to stop working after a couple of months, the Internet connection bugs down many times a day and I have to reset it to get reconnected to the Internet again. I don't recommend this, I'm buying a new one but probably it will be from another manufacturer.

This has probably been the worst Wi-Fi router I've ever purchased. I purchased in Jun 2020 and worked great for about 4 months. Everything started to go south when trying to apply security updates; nothing would successfully install, web or tftp. Then devices stopped connecting and in troubleshooting myself I found the dhcp server is locking up and not providing IPs. Other devices that were connected just drop off. So I have to reboot the router just to get things working again. After searching the web forums for possible fixes and finding nothing I submitted a support ticket with Netgear. Now all I'm getting is the 1-2 day between responses email trickle like pretty much everyone else in forums has complained about. At the time I didn't have the money for the extra BestBuy warranty and so wish I would have gotten it anyway. Spent $300 on this thing about 6 months ago to upgrade my 5yr old Netgear router and basically have an expensive paper weight that requires a daily rebooting to keep things going.

It was a good router but before a year I starter to have issue with it and it started to drop my wifi connection. But when it was working good it did his Job

Signal drops too often. Used it for gaming and it was much slower than my ISP router. Just not what I expected from something with such powerful innards

Bought this to replace my R8000 X6. Installation was easy but when I got online to game I had random lag spikes. My ping was literally jumping to 900 and I was rubber banding everywhere. I reconnected my X6 and everything was back to normal. The X6S seems to have a few bugs in it that Netgear needs to work out. The X6 is proven and still works great. I hope this helps someone.

Good router, but it did not solve my problems. Not much change over my older two channel N*tgear router (although it was getting old).

Since the first day I bought this router it has cut my wired internet speeds from 970mbs to 400mbs. If I connect straight to my SB8200 I get 950+mbs but if I connect the router then it cuts it substantially. When I first realized I called Netgear and someone helped me fix the issue by resetting everything and it is back to cutting my speeds again and now my 90 day support is up so I can't get Netgear's help any longer. I will be returning this under the product replacement plan I purchased when I bought it and buying something else. I don't have QOS enabled and I am testing my speeds to my desktop through a cat 6 cable. I have tried different cables too and the only thing that makes me get the speeds I'm paying for from Comcast is unhooking this router!

I had to return this back. It kept losing settings at least once a day. It kept dropping devices. When it ran it was okay but that was not very often.
