The setup for this device was extremely easy. I really like the inclusion of Disney Circle and some of the other advanced features. As far as operationally, I'm getting periodic network drops in which I will lose my internet connection. The local LAN stays online.

My family really enjoys our new wifi router. The set up was really easy, and we have about 15 devices connected to our internet. It has increased our internet speed significantly and we enjoy our purchase.

Huge improvement to the ISP supplied equipment....

The worse technology for an expensive device, after the setup it lost the configuration in less than one week, I did it again twice, all my cameras and devices was offline several times, it wasn't my provider issues, I'll keep my cheap and stable router tplink, it's just 1/3 of the NETGEAR router...

There is little to dislike about this unit. I found the installation easy enough although instructions were very basic (I am a beginner). Wifi speeds appear to be good, although I am only sending the signal around a small house and cannot comment on distance of the wifi as I have not tested this.

I got this router about 3 days ago. So far it is a great router. I did struggle with connecting when I first set it up but I called customer service and they got it up and running quickly. I'm sure if I had read the directions thi step would not of been needed, haha. The strength if great.

Was happy after spending about 50 minutes with Netgear cust. service upon first purchase. Speed great and wireless. Then had to reset router after 2 days (no connection). Then everyday. And even multiple times per day. Final after 5th week, it quit working altogether.

Pretty easy setup, pretty fast, good range. I thought it was a bit pricey - but not horribly expensive. Died between 5 - 6 weeks. Could be a fluke, but it took time, energy and money to replace and re-setup. That bumped it DOWN to 3-stars rating.

Bought this for my father-in-law. He lives in a winding farmhouse, with lots of rock and solid walls. This router beat out all the rest to project through his entire house, even into the basement, even outside. The signal is strong, the speed is fast. Nighthawk indeed.

I have been frustrated by the Virgin Media CM Router for some time and needed something a little more powerful. The stock firmware seems good but I will probably be flashing it with ddwrt or tomato. Good build quality and I got it in the sale.
