Initially I setup my Netgear Nighthawk as a router behind of my AT&T Uverse gateway router. That setup resulted in poor wireless performance (Even with Wifi disabled on AT&T Router). Then I left AT&T wifi disabled and configured my Nighthawk router in AP mode and my network has been fast and stable ever since.
This router has meet all the needs of a busy house. There is never a day that people are not streaming, gaming, or surfing the web alone and this device has easily met our needs.
I come from using a first generation Nighthawk. After almost 6 years of using that router I thought it would be a good idea to update my network. Obviously I had to go with Netgear as the last one worked splendid. This router stretched the range of my wifi slightly and that alone is worth the price tag. While I wish I could use the old nighthawk as a repeater and still maintain a password on it I can't, can't really fault the new Nighthawk for that. I would definitely recommend this product to friends and family.
