I ended up going with the wire cutter review stating this router was the 'Best for most people' and I must say I'm extremely happy with the purchase. It is a HUGE upgrade over my old TP-LINK router and the Smart Connect feature is amazing! Great product and happy I purchased it.
Replaced old router after ransom attack and found old router was part of the problem - no internal protection in the old router which allowed culprit to embed and there was nothing I could do to stop the attack. This was a second attack in six months because I was still using the old router. The Nighthawk has protection that my old router did not.
I used to have another make of router but it does not come anywhere near the functionality of this one. Firstly, I am able to control/adjust all the settings of the router from an app on my cellphone remotely which is a great. If you have kids, this router is a must. They have incorporated the Circle app which allows very granular control of what they have access to and when they have access to it.
We purchased this router for the speed, channel bonding, and the mu-mimo feature. Our neighbors WiFi was interfering so I expected to see maybe 150-200 mbps over WiFi with our existing modem but was surprised and happy to be getting speeds over 350 mbps with a strong signal throughout the house. The mobile app is also great, allowing remote access to the router from anywhere. I'm looking forward to setting up a personal cloud to sync photos on the go also. For the price I feel like I got more than what I paid for. No more buffering from running too many devices. Having 10+ devices with half connected and streaming at any given time that always seemed like a problem, not any more.
