This router brought my LG OLED to life: streaming now is not buffering and picture is sharp. Great user interface. Great app to get router up and running.
I am getting better wireless speed than wired! My wired speed is still good at 100 Mbps but my wireless is getting around 110mbps. The ease of installation is also a plus. The apps let's me change my SSID name and password with no trouble at all. I can see who is connected and even block devices. It has a parent control feature if you have kids. The range is perfect for my apartment. If you have a bigger house you might need to set up repeaters but for a all house it's good. Only thing I'm finding hard to do is hide my SSID.
We've been using the xfinity gateway modem for awhile and I was tired of the bottlenecking issue with all the things we have on out WiFi. The nighthawk was a recommendation my friend gave to me and I love it! The freedom to change setting and prioritize which devices need connection first with the QoS is a dream. If anyone is ever debating on upgrade I would recommend the nighthawk in a heart beat.
We decided to buy our own equipment and quit paying rental fees for equipment, this router along with a matching cable modem is definitely a HUGE upgrade to the cable companies equipment, we have a 3600 sq ft home and the modem/router are centrally located and each floor of the home gets great 5g connection, I check our speed vs the neighbors and we are almost double (one of our neighbors is the head of IT at a local hospital). I'd definitely recommend this to anyone looking for an inexpspensive upgrade for better internet connection/speed.
