Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased the NETGEAR - Smart AC1600 router and am very pleased with the overall performance in terms of speed, range, and bandwidth. Very easy to set up and includes two bands so that you can optimize for your device. I think this is the best compromise between performance and affordability.

Using this to replace my old Linksy e1500 which still works great. I set this up using my desktop web browser which was very easy. decided against the phone app due to numerous bad reviews. Download user manual from netgear first was helpful. All you do is type routerlogin.net in browser and a window pops up asking for login....which is admin and password for the password. I then changed my password. I used smart genie or whatever its called to auto connect to my dsl and I was up and running in no time. For me pc browser was easy and im not a tech guy. Hard to believe people have so much trouble. This works good in my small house. Bigger homes need a more powerfull router. Ihave 30/30 internet and that's the speed I get with this....lil bit better than old e-1500 liksys. I will update review after using for a while.

Works great, easy to set up. I'm not sure if I needed this one or if the AC1200 would have been sufficient. I had the AC1000 at first, but that was only good for 100 mbps input.

Sleek design and easy to install. Reaches all corners of our house concrete walls and all. Highly recommend this router!

After increasing speed with ATT, I was still having buffering issues. The routers are the worst in modem/router combos provided by ATT. Purchased Netgear AC1600 and speed was immediate improvement!! The Netgear app was easy to navigate, I really like how it shows you how many devices are connected at one time!! I would recommend this unit for medium sized homes.

Easy setup. Good signal strength and range. Highly recommended

The unit was easy to install and simple to use. The netgear ac1600 is an incredibly fast router. I feel that this router was a was a good deal for the price I paid for it. I have paid more money for routers that I purchased in the past and they did not perform nearly as well as this unit. I would recommend this router to friends and family.

I really don't know much about this other than it works for what we intended to use it for. It seems to have quick speed and easy set up to start working. From store to out of box, set up and use took very little time and no real instruction reading. I would buy another if needed.

I connected to the model and completed the set up using the computer instead of the suggested App (I didn't want to install another App on my phone). The installation was pretty easy and the signal seems to be strong enough to cover all the rooms

Easy set up and I haven't had any problems. Fits in a small place and you never know it is there. Provide plenty of coverage for my entire house. Good product. I like Netgear.

This is a great product !! I followed online instructions I printed out, and was able to install it by myself.....and I'm no expert. It's been doing a fabulous job so far, and very happy with the purchase.

old wifi - also netgear went bad - replaced with this one and speed has increased threefold. This was a really good purchase. I did a thorough review before selecting this particular wifi.

I don't do streaming but even so this router has been great for computer and smart tv work. Very easy to install. Very slick as a matter of fact.

I liked this router, but I bought a faster one because of the research I have to do. I think this is a great router and would suggest for internet browsing this works best.

Easy to set-up and add to home network. Performs better than old Linksys and the standard AT&T gigabit WIFI router

This router was very easy to install, very user-friendly and works really good.

Was relatively easy to install, but does require access to net to activate it. I did it through a phone app. Was difficult only because app on instructions changed names so had to search a bit. Once the app was loaded it was running a few moments later

So far so good. No issues, great connectivity, and easy to use app.

Very easy setup. Working great, much faster response they my last router.

Great for the money has good coverage in my house Very easy setup.
