Great quality router

I really like the router so far I’ve only had it a week the features are great and the menus are organized well. The app on the other hand doesn’t work too well with ios13 but maybe that will be fixed in time. The performance of the router is great I am getting 238mbps which is great for the plan I’m under with my isp. The setup of the router was fairly simple and straight forward. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a good quality router.
I’ve had this router for 6 months now and I’m really impressed with it and the quality of it. The speed is amazing and I have 37 devices hooked up to it and they all still are going great. The app is really handy to access all of the options that this router offers. If you are on the fence about purchasing this router you will not be disappointed if you purchase this one.
I received this router for testing, and was surprised at the capability. It has signal strength equal to my previous mesh system, and speeds that are better! The router has all the WIFI 6 features plus Netgear's Armor security available and a great app that makes setup easy. You can download a very thorough user manual that will guide you through specialized setup. This is a very powerful router for a big home, a home office, or even a small business. I recommend it!
I was a beta tester and know of all of its features now. The range is excellent and the signal quality is excellent in any corner of my home. It has also 5G WiFi which is way faster but not all of my IoT devices are compatible with it. However, the regular 2.4 Ghz WiFi is excellent too and I can use it even from afar in my backyard. The latest firmware update is stable and I didn't experience any bugs and signal loss. I also use it with Armor that comes with Bitdefender (yet subscription is necessary). It has a user friendly mobile app too with which I can control the router and change settings. What I like best though is how it smartly manages my internet connection and how it prioritizes media streams so I don't have to suffer from buffering. In the back is also a USB port so you can attach a USB drive/storage and share it with all who are connected to the router's WiFi. It has many advanced settings which should be a delight for power users.
This is one of the best routers I have actually used. Previously I was using a plume mesh wi-fi system and even though it provided decently high speeds and good protection for a network the Netgear router with Wi-Fi 6 is been performing way better than the plume system!
