This router was a breeze to set up. Didn't even have to use my laptop, set it up all on my iPhone. I can manage everything from the nighthawk app as well which is awesome. Money well spent.
This router not delivers speed but security. Very easy to set up and navigate the menu's. A plus is the smartphone app to view all connected devices from anywhere. The 2.5 and 5 ghz setup is great now I have not only great wifi range but faster speeds with no dropoff.. Highly recommend it this is written from a netgear user. This is the best router they have made to date. A+++
The Nighthawk works extremely well and improved my speeds tremendously. I am now getting the full capability of my internet, and I am able to control my router from my phone with the great app.
I replaced my old router with a stand alone Disney Circle because the Circle seemed to be slowing down my internet speeds. Since the Nighthawk has Circle built it, it does not have those same issues and flies!
