I have worked in IT for over 20 years. This was the easiest Wifi router to setup I've ever used. It is full of great features. The app on the phone is a great feature that allows me to view the status of the device and monitor and manage all the connected devices. One of the biggest differences I noticed was the speed of triggering connected smart plugs/lights. I have several lights that work via Alexa. My old wi-fi router had a delay that could take several seconds to turn on/off a smart plug or light. With the new Nighthawk, the lights turn on/off almost instantly. Very pleased with the NetGear Nighthawk AX5400.
I am an old man why is it so hard to make easy to set it up.I have never done anything with an app. Your product works great but setup is very hard to do if your could make it so a person could do the setup without the app your product would be great.
