NETGEAR - Nighthawk X8 AC5300 Tri-Band Quad Stream Wi-Fi Router - Black

No matter where you are, bedroom to backyard, you’ll experience a stronger, faster connection with this tri-band NETGEAR router. Get rid of lag, freezing, and buffering while you game, stream and more on multiple devices.

Started great; failed on second day.

I was initially pleased that it had range as good if not better than my old Nighthawk R7000. Setup was simple, and it worked great for about a day and a half. Then the 2.4Ghz radio apparently died; both my primary and guest 2.4Ghz networks were no longer accessible on any device even though they still showed up as fully enabled in the Netgear admin app. The 5Ghz networks still worked, though not perfectly--it usually took two or more attempts before a connection could be established, even when working on an iPhone or MacBook Pro just a few feet from the router. Router admin functions also began running very slowly, taking anywhere from 20 seconds to 2-3 minutes or more between screens. I finally reset the unit to original factory settings, and still couldn't get any connection on the factory pre-set 2.4Ghz network. Very disappointing--it's being returned this coming week.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
