Could not register correctly, would not accept the serial number of unit, said it did not match the numbers on box which it did! So it registered as a rs400 which is wrong. The setup was terrible, would not accept modem. I finally got it to work, some of my wifi equipment could not find the signal and still doesn’t. Some of the problems was a password problem. As for my experience I would not recommend this unit...

I bought this device two months ago. They worked fine for a while, Then suddenly the WIFI kept dropping. The Netgear provided a new device new device through RMA for which shipping cost I had to bear. Then with the new device experienced similar problem within two days and on investigation found that the 5 GHz band WIFI drops intermittently. Netgear does not have proper solution for this and asking me to get a RMA and bear the cost for a issue which I am not responsible. I have been in hours and hours of tech support and wasted my time . Really Netgear made this very inconvenient in this time where we work form home and really on proper internet connection to do our job.
The router overall is has everything to be the best, 5 starts, specially with the Circle Parent Control and NETGEAR Armor powered by Bitdefender. However, time to time, sometimes everyday, the router looses Internet connection or freezes. I tried everything, from updating firmware and many other troubleshoots. It is just unstable.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Previously had Verizon router which wasn’t strong enough for all our equipment. Additionally we have a tin roof which gave us a weak signal. We now have a good signal and are happy we switched to Nighthawk.
I love that the range is so wide. My streaming is faster and the number of devices that can connect is excellent. The setup was fairly easy and everything connects quickly. I would recommend this to anyone looking to upgrade to a more powerful router.
