Easy to set up and use; Gives good coverage around the house and into the garden

Bit pricey

I'm SO happy with this router! Our old router required us to reset the router multiple times per day- not with this one!! It was extremely easy to install, worked immediately. I've used it with my iphone, ipad, and PC. Works great with all and extends the reach of our wifi.

Netgear's Nighthawk AC 1900 Smart WiFi Router, better known as the R7000, is for those who need to save a few bucks while creating an up-to-date wireless network. At $190, it's priced about $100 less than the competition (including Netgear's own R8000) and delivers strong throughput, but can't match...

Excellent combined throughput; Genie software; Removable antennas; Affordable; Open-source firmware

Disappointing range; Large in-wall AC adapter

NETGEAR's original R7000 Nighthawk has stood the test of time, becoming one of the top-selling AC class routers. NETGEAR has wisely left the design alone, resisting the lure of a Rev A to shave a few pennies off manufacturing cost.

I use the Nighthawk in Spain with Vodafone ONO and a CBN (Compal Broadband Network) CG7486E router. It sits in a room above where the CBN router is and the signal strength is excellent.

Fast when it works

Stops working just about every night

It seems NETGEAR is on a constant refresh loop with many of their product lineups. What started years ago as a single solution with the R7000 Nighthawk is now the name for an entire portfolio of products.

Easy set up and very powerful. Coverage is great. No issues at all.

It's ok. Nasty bulky thing. Setup is ok. UI for settings is very basic

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.

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.
