    I know it's spendy, but if you have a lot of devices it is worth the price ofrr the 3 bands. Very happy with this device on a prosumer level.

    This is a top of the line router that is necessary for multiple users at one time with a high speed Internet connection. Setup is easy and fast for an average person like me who does not work in the computer industry. You are definitely paying for what you get, but catch it on sale.

    Nothing but thumbs up for this router. I was waiting for it to go on sale, and bought it during Black Friday. Great buy. I have a lot of devices using WiFi at once. Streaming videos(Netflix, Youtube) and online gaming. I have not had 1 problem since installing this a month ago. Netgear has already provided top routers and I stick with them.

    The router does what it says it does. It comes down to your original signal to this router that provides the real quality of signal IMO.

    The Nighthawk X8 Ac5300 Router has many powerful features and is lightning fast - even with many wireless devices attached (our current configuration includes 4 computers, 4 mobile phones, 2 tablets & 3 smart TVs). The Netgear genie control panel allows you to configure & manage multiple wireless networks, Dynamic QoS and many more features.

    We have 4 college students and their friends and all their devices in and out of our house all the time. Our old router simply could not handle the volume and the lag was driving us crazy. This router handles the volume without breaking a sweat. No lag or buffering while multiple devices are streaming at the same time.
