[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our router went down and we purchased this one as a replacement. It was so easy to set up and we were up and running again the same day.
Great router and set up instructions but almost impossible to update most of my Smart devices that work Amazon Alexa. Some has got to figure how do that. Most of my Smart devices are useless.
I am a retired and obsolete tech semi-engineer, so wasn't excited when I realized that I must replace my router. I could think of nothing but a black hole and hours installing, not to mention the daunting problems expected along the way. So I did have a small problem at the first and contacted Netgear via phone, as the instructions implored. The next prox hour I was on a glide path, following educated and exact instructions! Nothing but excellent assistance from my Netgear contact. Finished at the end and no problems so far in the two days since then. Have reset my other wi-fi devices without a problem. I am incredibly thankful to Netgear for their help, hence this very positive review. Needless to say, the Nighthawk router is now working flawlessly.
Super easy to set up, the app walks you through everything. My old router was dropping constantly, and this fixed it immediately. Strong signal throughout the house and even outside. Solid upgrade and worth it.
