I rarely take the time to write a review on anything I buy or own, however, this router's sheer excellence has pushed me to write my opinion and experience with it.
This router will handle whatever you throw at it with insane speed and reliability, all by providing very impressive range for N clients (about double the distance) and quite literally multiple times the throughput of my Apple Extreme 6th Gen. **Apple Extreme @120 ft. distance - 14Mbps ***Netgear Nighthawk @120 ft. distance - 75Mbps.
I attached a USB 3.0 HDD to it and NAS functionality flies, resulting in 20% faster file transfer rates over Ethernet than plugged into USB3 equipped desktop.
Netgear has done a brilliant job with their first AC router, an absolute must buy if you're in the market for a future-proofed high end router.
What's great about it: Absurdly Fast, Reliable, Versatile, Super Range
What's not so great: Management software - Netgear Genie is ok, not great.
