Customer Ratings & Reviews

We need more coverage in house and we bought this at Thsnksgiving. So far it has been great!

The router has great range throughout my two story house. I do not see a big difference in speed. All in all, it seems a bit expensive for what you receive.

Great router in terms of range and speed. Power adaptor comes with support for 110V only. When plugging to 220V using auto-converter power adaptor heated and died. Replaced with third party power supply. Note that I found same device at a lower price elsewhere.

I recently upgraded to this monster of a router from my Netgear X6, but honestly, even though this router has a few more extras, my old X6 covered just about the same range and handled all my tablets/phones/PCs just the same as this new X8. So spending an extra $80-$100, depending on the sale price, it's not worth the jump... If you are one of those high tech guys and have the need for 6 wired devices, this would be a perfect fir for you... I had to be honest and gave it the 4 star that this router deserves, because after all, the router is a beast, but if all you need is to give wifi to 10-15 different pheripherals, there are other cheaper routers that will get the job done, with out breaking the bank (like the Netgear X6)!.

Awesome speed, no buffering, for very large or segmented house where you need wireless to every corner. Works well with external hard drive to access files. Only con for me is our placement in our house and the size of the unit. Biggest router I have ever seen.

As soon as I saw this router I could tell it would work great, and have a really good range just by the sheer size of it! It is worth every penny I spent on it. I live in a bigger house, with 4 smart TV's, 3 computers, and 4 other people with smart phones. Before buying this router the wifi was ok, but when watching Netflix or amazon video, it would sometimes take a while to load or the wifi would drop out and you would have to wait, or restart the tv. Now with dividing devices between the 3 signals every device runs very fast and smooth, and since owning this router I haven't had to wait for any thing to load, or have a freeze up. And that is with 3 or 4 smart tvs running YouTube or Netflix all at the same time, and with someone on a computer downloading documents etc... this router works flawlessly and allows us to use every bit of the internet speed we pay for! We are very happy!!!!!

This unit give me full strength anywhere in my house of 3000 square feet. Worth the cost

Bought this item as an upgrade and it went above and beyond what I expected

I have gigabit ethernet through ATT and their default wifi router degrades signal so fast the further you are from it. This router is so much more powerful! Full strength through out the whole house. Also great features with the streaming media content.

very good coverage in a hard to cover home. Would recommend if thick walls.

the best choice for everything, very easy to set up

Great job. Fast speed for your internet. Handles lots of different electronic gadgets

This is the best router I've bought it till now for couple months never stop or halt .

This one has much better range that the Linksys one it replaced. Easy install as well

I wanted something that would meet expectations for a while, and this is that! Hasn’t let me down, always good signal and can handle everything a smart house and many WiFi devices might throw at it! It’s spendy but quality usually is.

First time purchasing Wi-Fi router and it was worth every penny good strong range.

This router is fast, if you have a fast internet provider. Also the wired LAN is fast. It is the biggest wifi router I've ever had. Only thing is the price is too much. 4 stars for that reason.

getting more from a high-speed cable service is on the top of most consumer's to-do list. in my case, i wanted to cut my tv cable bill as it had ballooned to $133 a month (not including $10 for netflix). using my existing router + rook + slingtv subscription i eliminated cable tv - saving $100 a month (that's $1200 a year!). however, the old router was only serviceable for the streaming of movies. so an upgrade was in order. and the main reason to purchase this model is we have a large house and signal coverage is critical...especially with two teenagers in the house. this router has allowed me to eliminate 2 range extenders and worry less about running wires.

It was a little out of my price comfort zone but I am glad I did. Worth the buy.

One of the best routers I've ever had. Speeds are fast. You get 2 5ghz networks and one 2.4ghz. Tons of configuration options. Not to mention the range on this thing is great. You can't go wrong with this router. Very solid build as well.
