Fast, easy, simple to configure. I have not set up the backup or the usb network drive yet. but I intend to. I am replacing a failing decent quality N router and changed nothing but the router. My speed went from 10 Mb/s to over 50 and in non peak around 100. I can now stream from my network drives.

This is Netgear's long awaited ‘AC1900 Wi-Fi' rival to current top dogs the Linksys EA6900 and Asus RT-AC68U . We say "long awaited" because this sassily named router actually launched at the same time as its rivals in the US, but we have waited five months for it to appear in the UK.

Fastest peak throughput yet; Class leading USB network performance; Slick design; Front mounted USB port

Loses out at range to AC1900 rivals; Asus & Linksys rivals offer easier setup; Premium pricing

This router has successfully served as the backbone of a 30 device network with ten users. It was running DHCP up until recently (before moving to a dedicated server) but rarely had any issues.

- Tonnes and tonnes of settings; - Full of features; - Solid dual band; - Guest network works properly; - Doesn't choke on high traffic; - Looks great; - Customizeable

- Large size, - Router has to reboot for even small setting changes, taking everything offline, - Free support is only offered for 90 days; After that it's paid; Luckily I haven't ever needed it

Excellent. A huge step up on my previous, more entry-level, WiFi router. Genie control app is handy for keeping teenager in check. Easy setup. Has been bulletproof so far (after 1 month).

Exchanged for a different router with a more reliable 5Ghz radio. If the 5Ghz band isn't critical for you and you don't require an advanced firmware (without going aftermarket) then this router would be just fine for you.

-Great range -Great speeds -Easy to set up; and takes the very minimum of oversight/knowledge -Firmware is great for people who don't want have to figure things out

-5Ghz band is flaky and the 5Ghz radio seems to drop very frequently -No stand for different orientations -Although the stock firmware is easy to use; there are very minimal advanced settings

More than doubled my household range (2.4gig) form old Cisco wireless Lynksys. Stable signal. Good internet interface. Wireless printing now with w/ 3Gig usb port; a savings from having to buy a new AirPrint laser printer! Have not yet attached my HD for photos and music central storage

Installs Easily

Very good product. Easy to setup and works without any issues. No need to reboot, no freezes and lots of options to setup. Guest networks, vpn, the whole sha-bang. A little pricey, but if you have many devices connect to your internet this is totally worth the money.

This is an excellent product with lots of features. Though I have not used many of the features yet, I really liked the "Parental Control". You can set many levels of controls and unfortunately, this is not well highlighted in the product features.

I am a CCNP certified network engineer, I understand how this equipment is supposed to work, but it fails miserably at what it is supposed to do.

Wired connectivity is rock solid

I have had a Dell laptop

I replaced my Cisco Linksys WRT610N v2 with this Netgear Nighthwawk router a couple of months ago, and it changed my life. This thing is a ROCK! Outstanding range, jaw-dropping performance and speed, unequalled reliability, at what I consider to be a reasonable price.
