My apartment complex only offers one WiFi company which is already a bummer. And I was paying for 1000 mbps and the modem they gave me only put out 300 - 400 of the 1000 so it was clearly not giving me my moneys worth. So I decided to buy the router which drastically improved my WiFi to 800 - 900 mbps I would highly recommend this product not only does it speed up my WiFi significantly but you can create your own dedicated network separate from the one you create with your ISP and you can protect your network through the app as well as create a guest WiFi network if you don’t want a ton of devices on your main one.

The Netgear Nighthawk router is superb in all respects. It pushes 800-900 Mgps easily throughout all levels of our home (4K sq ft). Setup is a breeze. Setup is completed via the Nighthawk mobile app, which is the first time I’ve ever seen a non-Commercial Service Provider (CSP) router set up this way. Also, the added analytic and security features are excellent if you have children and/or guests using your main and/or guest internet networks. HIGHLY recommend this product if your CSP router isn’t performing as advertised and/or delivering the quality of internet speed you are probably paying serious money for.

The router seems pretty fast and has great controls and settings included with it. The app used to connect to it and control it is actually a decent app. The only con I’ve had so far is that the app notifies me when a NEW device is connected. Well about a week ago the router must have automatically updated itself and when it came back online all the devices re-connected to it at once. It sent me 40 notifications over the next 3 minute period. My phone was going absolutely nuts. It’s suppose to only send a notification with a new device, not a existing known devices. It’s only done this one time over the past couple months I’ve owned this router, so i remain happy and satisfied.

Bought this to replace the old netgear router (Wi-Fi 4). While these new speeds are much better, it keeps dropping the 2.4 GHz band for only two devices. While it could be the age of these devices, they consistently lose a signal when Smart connect is on. It can take hours for the signal to fail, or it can take minutes, but the signal WILL fail. Turning off smart connect seems to solve the issue. I hope the smart connect issue can be patched smehow, because it's a nice idea. Considering returning it for an older model that might be more reliable. Three bands just might be too much to program for right now.

Installed my RAX70 On a Friday and had trouble connecting with an existing network in my home. After an evening of working with it I called customer support on Saturday and within five minutes was connected with an expert who communicated well and was able to get me connected and registered within 10 minutes. I don’t want to set that expectation but I want to complement both the product in the customer support. After connecting with my existing network and adding two extenders I was able to achieve full coverage for an approximately 6000 square-foot home. A month later I still have astounding coverage and reliability. I am very pleased with the RAX70, the extenders and the support.

If you're willing to pay a premium price for faster performance, it may be worth looking elsewhere, even if this is a solid router

Excellent performance over 802.11ac; 4x4 MU-MIMO; Good physical connections;

Not quite as fast as the competition; Unambitious feature set; Only dual-band;
