I bought this in May 2019 and it was dead by October 2019. The common gripe from users was related to a firmware update that bricked the device. I left the device in storage and tried to resurrect it in March, 2020. It received another firmware update and is still working.Pros: easy to set up and configure. Phone app simplifies managing devices connected to the router. Visibly improved performance of my network compared to the router provided by my ISP.Cons: Limited lifespan. I noticed that it would “black out” without warning. Rebooting the router was the initial fix. Hard resets became a later fix. Now it’s totally unresponsive. It powers on and all the indicator lights remain dark no matter what. It’s a paperweight now.UPDATE: 03/20, latest firmware appears to have solved the problem. Will it last? Time will tell.

I was wary when first buying this product because I thought it was very expensive. However, the Best Buy consultant told me about the benefits it has and I explained to him why I needed a router and what type and honestly—one of my best purchases of the year. It’s fast, very tech friendly with the application, super easy set up and looks cool. It covers the area of my home and honestly-um thankful I bought it.

The NETGEAR Nighthawk X4S Smart WiFi Router (R7800) – AC2600 that I ordered arrived on time and with no damage. Setup was relatively simple. I now have wifi outside (my backyard) but only a good signal(wanted excellent). I will contact support to see if they can improve that but I think my home’s construction may be a factor. Inside my house has an excellent signal throughout.

Works a lot better than my old 802.11n router. I bought this to replace the old 802.11n router that refused to work with Hulu app on Roku. This router has been flawless. One cool feature is that the lights on the front can be turned off except the power light. The lights are pretty bright and this feature is nice if the router is in a place that is visible all the time. Speeds are great, but I only have 30 mbps internet.
