Terribly Easy to Setup, Great App as well!
on February 20, 2016
Posted by: yannigogolak
from Dallas, TX
I have some experience in setting up a camera network at work and let me tell you, Arlo is the way to go.
The package design is quite nice and the green box is very Cupertino. From opening the box to seeing a live image on my phone took maybe five minutes. Once you download the app, you simply hold your phone in front of the camera (with QR code visable) and viola! You're done!
A couple of things stood out to me as being excellent with this camera. The base of the camera is magnetic and that was quite a pleasant surprise when I was looking for a place to mount it, turns out I didn't have to use the supplied bracket or make any holes in walls.
Also, the ability to share the camera feed with friends and relatives has turned out to be a great feature. The in-laws can quickly look in on the dance-party my 1-year old is throwing.
I also liked that you can set the camera to alert you on motion or sound. BUT, the cool part is that you can "color-out" certain parts of the scene to motion (ie. clock with pendulum). Genius!
There is a bit of lag when connecting to the device from outside networks but once the feed is going it is smooth.
Being able to setup this camera and never once opening my laptop to do so was quite a pleasant experience. I did receive the camera as a part of the Netgear First Look Review program for free but I think the ease of use and the easy setup not to mention the spectacular features make this camera really well thought out. I'd definitely buy a couple more.

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.

Works Well for Growing Business
on November 8, 2015
Posted by: yannigogolak
I run a small business that employs about 20 people. Not all of them need internet access so maybe only 12 are on the network at a time. Being a small business, we don't have an IT dept. and we're trying to do as much as we can without outside help ($100/hr!!!). Our choke-point as of late has been our router, with 50 different devices on the network, (chromecasts, computers, ip phones, nas, streaming devices and more) we we're definitely bogging down.
In comes the Nighthawk X8, provided to me for zero cost as part of the Friends and Family program through Netgear. Initial setup was easy, as most routers are, but the ability to dig into the Advanced Setup and get specifics like port forwarding and QoS up and running were very easy. The most helpful thing I found was the Help Center on each screen which makes it easy to decipher terminology and proper setup. Well done, Netgear.
As far as the hardware goes, the box is sizable as compared to most other routers. It has a great design and the antennas and LED functionality is customizable, which is nice. Port aggregation is a must when having multiple clients access the NAS concurrently. This by far, my most favorite feature.
To see improved performance, you really need to be able to monitor your network. Since I had a benchmark with my previous setup (an advanced router but definitely not as hefty as this one) I was able to see a marked improvement in internet downloads but the best performance improvement was over the internal network itself. Connectivity to the NAS is vastly improved and internal downloads were at much much faster.
The next test was wi-fi connectivity and signal strength. We have roughly 2 acres of property and 6000sqft of building space. I had great signal through the building out about 200 feet past the building. (I know this is hard to grasp but just know that this thing will reach out and touch you.)
As far as value, this perfectly fits our small business' needs without jumping us up into the crazy expensive routers with far fewer features. It's astonishing how much those enterprise brands charge for their feature-less routers.
If you're a small business owner and looking to eliminate choke-points like us, this is a great place to start while not breaking the bank.

Do I have to pay monthly fees
This router doesn't give you internet access, it allows you to create a network using your existing internet service provider.
