We have owned this router for a few weeks and have already noticed a huge improvement in our wireless signal strength and coverage. Out of the box, this was easy to set up with just my iPhone. The SmartConnect feature allowed us to maintain our previous SSID but we no longer had to choose between 2.4 or 5 GHz. The Nighthawk App lets us monitor connected devices and even preform a speed test. Dead spots seem to be gone that we suffered with from our previous router. The only downside may be the Armor and Circle apps, which seem like upsells after the trials (it is nice that there is no additional hardware required for Disney Circle).Overall, this intuitive router has really increased our family's connectivity.
This router is amazing! Anywhere in my house, garage, and down the street it is powerful. Before getting this router, I would get disconnected from so many online games. Since I bought, no disconnections!
Paying for 400mbps and our providers router was bringing in less than half of that and was constantly dropping. And we were always rebooting their equipment. Our new nighthawk brings our in full speed, even over our wireless connections. Great at handling multiple devices including streaming. Great router, highly recommend!
