In all, despite the clunky web user interface, the Netgear Nighthawk R7000 AC1900 is a triumph. It may not deliver the fastest top speed over 802.11ac, but its class-leading range across all network types more than makes up for this slight lack of top-end grunt.

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.

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

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.

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.

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 R7000 Nighthawk: Not cheap, but this exciting-looking router is the stuff of dreams

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.

Definitely looks the part, smooth, slick, stealth like appearance. The UI is clear, concise and exactly what you want it to be. Handy apps for your tablet and phone give complete control. The 5Ghz wireless network gives superb speeds, definite improvement for my Shield Tablet in console mode.

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.
