This router is perfect for when I'm gaming on my Xbox or my pc before I had this I would lag and have a bad gaming experience but now I have no lag and everything runs smoothly!
If you haven't replaced your router in 3-4 years, now is the time. I'd been running a top of the line router that was ~3 years old. (Archer C7) When I replaced it with this, the difference was night and day. Wifi signal is much stronger, speed is hugely improved. The difference is even noticeable during 'light-weight' activities like browsing! Running multiple heavy loads at once doesn't degrade the performance. We can watch netflix, stream steam games, run heavy downloads/vpns/etc for work simultaneously without issue.
I just moved out for the first time, and had to learn how to do everything. I was nervous about setting up internet, and thought it would be complicated. But I got the nighthawk router. Soon as I got home and opened the box, I had the WiFi working, WiFi name changed, and a new password. All within 10 minutes. The set up process was amazing. Let alone the strength of the signal, and the distance it can go is incredible. Love it for streaming my movies and games. Above all, I love how quick my phone reacts to it. One of the best purchase I've made in awhile!
