Long story short... my Centurylink service changed without any notice, and I thought it was my old Netgear products failing. So, I purchased this new router at Sam's Club after being told it could run all of my wireless products with no lag. I live in a 2 story home, with the router upstairs and my whole life downstairs. I've been very pleased with it so far. The only product I had that the signal wasn't strong enough for, was my printer. I purchased an extender and now life is outstanding!!! If you're looking for a really good router, this is definitely the one to get. Super easy set up, great signal strength, no lag when running more than one thing at a time.
The nighthawk has provided me with amazing wireless connection with amazing range. The range of the nighthawk is what really drew me to it in the first place and trust me, my expectations were exceeded. The nighthawk ranges, for me, a good 50-60 yards. The only drawback is I have been having trouble with wired connections to the router itself losing internet off and on. I'm not sure if I missed a setting while setting up? Beside that I still would give the nighthawk 5 stars all the way!!!
Prior to purchasing the AC2300 router, we were using the provider's modem/router combo. I was getting nowhere near the speeds we were paying for. After installing the Nighthawk AC2300 we went from seeing 10-20 Mbps to over 100 Mbps consistently. It is made is a big difference.
This router facilitates excellent connectivity and device accessability. The versatility of negotiating 2G, 5G and Guest accounts is easily implemented and user friendly.
This router is good for both the beginner and more advanced user for networking. The basic setup takes care of everything that you need without having to configure all of these little settings. Plus the additional parental controls make it good for parents.
