Stoped working after 2 months!!!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had this router for a little over 2 months, updated firmware via their nighthawk app and the router stoped working! Spent time with their support and they could not help and they are giving me a new router, factory tested, but I have to pay for the shipping. Their product is faulty why do I have to pay for the shipping? I have to wait until they receive the old one then they will ship the new one out. If I need it right away I have to pay almost $30 extra! I have had my Motorola router for over 5 years without issues and had to reconnect it while I wait. Needless to say NO MORE netgear for me ever.

poor coverage
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The range /power? is weak. You'll need a house without interior walls to cover it all with this router. This is the 4th router I have used in this house and it is conspicuously the poorest performance. Very sad that I learned about its inadequacy after my 2 week window for return closed.

Not very good
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this as a potential problem solver as I had a bad WiFi connection through out our house. Was really disappointed that this device did not work. Would not recommend if your house is over 3,000 sq ft.

Good router for the price!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Make sure to hold Best Buy to Price match! Overall after installing this router we have been pleased. We elected to cut the chord so we stream everything now. This router is the heartbeat of that operation. Understand that I'm a retired network professional. Setup was pretty easy. Documentation could be a bit better because certain assumptions are made that may or may not be true. MAC filtering is a bit different although it does work well. Great range as the router is located on the second floor and we have three levels. Signal never drops below good or 1st and 3rd floor or at the opposite end of the second floor. Especially 5.0 Mhz band. Overall, good router, easy setup and good range for under $100. And you can "tweak" it to maximize throughput!

Not bad
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this router to create a seperate network in my room, and it's not bad at all. The wifi strength is pretty bad, though. The 5ghz goes out within like 10 feet of the router, and then the 2.4ghz is "fair" to "poor" signal strength at the other end of the house. Not bad for what I wanted it for, though. Could be much better in terms of signal strength.
