  • Worth the purchase!

    If you’re looking for a new router, this one is pretty good! I’ve been using a cheap $40 router for the past 7 years, and it just was awful. Couldn’t really connect in my room (router was downstairs, and my room is upstairs) But after setting it up today, I noticed how much faster every thing loaded. I can finally connect in my room better. Make sure you download the Netgear app first though, because I tried using the web browser to set it up, and it wouldn’t connect. So I downloaded the app, and it was super easy from there. Amazing router that I should have purchased sooner.

    Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

    Bought it for the cabin. Easy to set up... covers it all plus around the outside so the kids can surf inside or out. Nighthawk app is easy to use. All we needed

    Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

    This router worked excellently... for 2 days. Then it kept disconnecting and not working at all. I tried resetting it and that worked for a day then it cut out again. Customer service for this product is extremely poor. Very disappointed with this purchase. Would never recommend a Nighthawk router to anyone. Awful.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

  • Not so good
    Reviewed by Sanji - September 27, 2019

    I purchased this as an upgrade for my Rogers mode_router from 3 years ago. Netgear reviews seemed ok. This product is not like other netgear routers or at least based on the reviews. The wifi is just ok,but everthing else is bad. I downloaded the app and many of the features don't work with this model?? Come on Netgear this was not a cheap router. Search continues.
