Just ok, nothing to get excited about. My NG6100D gateway booted up much faster. I could set up security along with many other things myself. It also had signal strength on the unit itself. I can’t tell a difference in speed.

For me and my optimum set up it does not automatically switch to LTE when my lousy high-speed Optimum network goes down

Honestly, the worst router I’ve ever owned. Randomly certain devices WILL NOT connect to the 2.4GHz network. I had to pull my old router out and connect it to this one for the devices to be able to connect. The user interface for the iOS app and web portal are clunky and slow. The app and website keep trying to sell me additional services that I DO NOT WANT, and I can’t tell it to stop annoying me about them. I’ve debated returning it, but the LTE connectivity works mostly and that’s the main reason I bought it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This is a great router for lte users. 4 stars because I wish vpn service was more user friendly.
This router is everything i expected. I live out in the country. About 20 miles from civilization, so there are no other options for internet, besides satellite. And thats no good for gaming. My primary use. The netgear nighthawk 4g lte wifi 6 router provides exactly what i need. Thatnk you netgear
I would recommend this to a friend!

Living in the country where cable is not available, this made a good alternative for a home network with a cellular connection to the internet.
