Tech deficient dad here and it was a cinch to set up. Didn't even need help from the kids. Strong signal. Cut the cord and the savings from TV alone will pay for the Nighthawk in one month!
You want every single mbps that you paid for? Get the nighthawk. Ditch the provider router. I was pulling in 30/30 with the providers router out of what im paying 100/100. The nighthawk got me 103/112 or better when i plugged it in.
