It is a good device. I will recommend it to other people.

Can’t believe I installed myself beings I am not tech savvy! Easy peasy!

We would have given this one ten stars if we could have. Our new router may look like it is ready to launch a thousand rockets with so many lights, (forget a thousand ships!) but it works very well indeed! No more buffering on videos, which was a problem every few minutes, which was a constant complaint here! It covers our whole house easily, and even a nice bit of the lawn. Better coverage than advertised, even.(Our internet provider did have to do a bit of work on the pole outside, which was needed, and did help a little, but didn’t completely repair our issue. This new router was absolutely key!) Happily recommend the Nighthawk.
James M. Crawford –
This one of the most user friendly routers I have ever had the pleasure of using and setting up. Great coverage, excellent throughput and my devices see no buffering. Great product!!!

I got this one cause my buddies at the AC1750 and I wanted that, saw this one had better speeds and range so I decided to get the upgraded version. Love it, literally have no complaints at all after about 30 days.

This wifi increased my single up to 150MB in speed. My old one was only able to get up to 49MB, so this was amazing! I also like the Nighthawk app, which allows me to monitor speed or issues across multiple devices.

Been having trouble with my AT&T Internet not keeping devices connected and not letting multiple devices stream. Went and purchased AC2300, Shut off the WiFi inside the AT&T modem and hardwired the AC2300, reconnected all devices and not one problem since. I have 3 Fire sticks, 2 Roku, 3 smart TVs, and 8 devices (Phones, Tablets, Computer) all stream flawlessly. Best decision ever!!!
Customer –
Bought this product. Did not use it for like 3 months and when i started to use it, it goes off in less than 3 months, which of course is right by when all warranties are off. So I am talking to Netgear, they admit its faulty cos the 2.4/5GH light wont turn on even though it has internet. The app wont recognize anything (see image).Netgear of course admitting its faulty, processes an RMA but then says i need to pay the shipping cost of $30 for a product of theirs that is a hardware failure!!!! I WILL NEVER EVER EVER PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT EVER AGAIN. And it also is suppose to have a great range, but its spotty at best in a less than 950Sqft apartment. My cable modem wifi box has same range. Seriously waste of money. LOOK ELSEWEHRE!!!!
Customer –
Very easy to setup. The app puts everything at my fingertips. I have updates on performance and security. I can monitor all of this 24/7 wherever I am. I can also selectively disconnect any device from the network anytime. This WiFi coverage area covers the entire house with no problems far away from the router. This product came highly recommended by my internet provider for a new installation and I can see why. Definitely a worthwhile purchase.
Ev Jenkins –
This is one of the best routers I’ve ever had. I love the App and the amount of configuration and the speed you get with it. and the looks are great too! I also love how easy it is to load DDWRT onto it and also load back the original firmware if you wanted to switch back or give it to a friend that doesn’t have networking experience. Very easy setup! Has a network wizard and everything!
Jeff –
Love it super internet speed

I’m sharing my internet for 2 floors (about 1,800 square feet) and it’s been a challenge trying to cover the dead spots even with a mesh network. I decided to give the Netgear Nighthawk R7000 router a try since I read that it provides great coverage. The router was placed in the middle of the house and setup was pretty straight forward. I set everything up from the Nighthawk app and had some problems at first getting it to recognize the modem. Had to power off both the modem and router. Tried again after powering them back up and was able to connect.The router itself is kind of light but does take up a good amount of space compared to other smaller routers I’ve had in the past. It has air vents on the side and the router is never more than warm on the touch.I’ve used it for several weeks now and speeds are great. Range is much better which was the determining decision on purchasing this. The only problem I did notice is some network drops from time to time. I’m not sure if it’s my internet provider but it’s very short so it doesn’t last more than a minute.I was deciding between this router and one of the newer WiFi 6 routers but it all came down to what I need. I don’t think many devices will support that kind of bandwidth yet and I don’t have any plans on upgrading most of the hardware I currently am using. Glad I purchased this router and hopefully will last many years to come.

Purchase a Nighthawk AC1900 Dual Band WiFi Router (R7000) and have locked down my home and guest network. The impressive phone App was an installation dream. A few steps and that was it. The App gives you full control of each device, bandwidth limits, speed tests and best of all provides security alerts from spam and phishing. The WiFi speed is by far the fastest and best upgrade for our home. We cut the cord and only use streaming services not to mention all of our mobile devices and Mac’s and PC’s all perform well. I rate a 5 out of 5 and recommend this for any small business/home business and for personal home use.

What a piece of junk. Warranty expired last week. It doesn’t work now. Customer support takes 30 minutes, so far

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.

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.

Super fast

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.

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.
