R6700AX

Bought this NETGEAR Nighthawk to avoid paying Spectrum for a router. If you're a Spectrum customer, this router works with the Spectrum modem. It arrived this morning and after 20 minutes it's up and running. We live in a one floor, 1500 square foot condo. Coverage is excellent throughout on 10 devices. The router is also small and fits nicely on our bedroom dresser. What I'm most impressed with is the setup and NETGEAR app. Download the NETGEAR app to your phone using a QR code provided on the instruction sheet. After establishing a NETGEAR account follow the prompts. This initial setup tutorial is fairly boiler plate, what sets this app apart is how it responds to issues. For example, if your router fails to connect on the first attempt, as mine did, it tells you precisely which settings to change on your phone to correct the issue. And these settings changes solved the problem in all three cases that occurred during my set up. I've never experienced this level of intuitive app support. I won't pretend to offer any review of the technical capabilities of the router, definitely outside my bandwidth, but if you're like me, comfortable with using technology, but needing guidance to navigate setups, this is a great product. The phone app is also easy to navigate and relatively self explanatory. To demonstrate, I ran a speed test from the phone app. It's way easier than using the settings function on your device. Download speed is 113.72 Mbps, Upload is 12.07 Mbps and Ping is 15.0 Ms. Do I fully understand what these mean, no, but with a small amount of research I could if issues arise. Bottom line, I'm so happy this product was easy to setup and am very pleased with the value. For a few months rental cost on my Spectrum Router, I avoid paying a lifetime monthly fee. I will leave it to others to debate the merits of the technical functions of this router. There is no debate in my opinion on the simplicity of setup and functionality.

Very nice Router. I appreciate that customer support was available to help me with set-up, which ended up being quite easy; but support was needed as it didnt come with specific instructions to set it up properly. I love that it is very small and has a nice, simple design. Only wish they offered it in white, as i dont like black, but thats just an extra. Ive had it a few months already and it works nicely.

Trying to reduce household expenses. Replacement for the cable company router that I paid for monthly for 6 years. That is essentially buying this router a dozen times. It has a small footprint, was easy to install and works reliably. It is one of the devices approved by the cable company.

Price was amazing. Setup was clean and easy. The WiFi signal was mostly excellent. Speeds were generally very good (850 Mbps on Ethernet, 64+ Mbps WiFi. Video conferencing worked without problem. But while 2 or more people are streaming video there is significant bufferbloat where the video pauses midstream then picks up again. I think for Video with Fiber, you need to get a higher end router or maybe one that doesn't try to manage QoS as much.

I am technology-challenged, so when I got my new Ring doorbell and had to replace my 22-year-old router because it did not have sufficient security, I panicked! I read reviews and decided to try this one. I was able to install it all by myself with the instructions provided by Netgear. My whole house was up and running again in a relatively short amount of time. It works well, and was a good buy for the money. Very user friendly!

I bought this router as a recommendation of my ISP for our city's new Fiber. It is rated over 1 GB, which is what I'm getting from the city's link. I have an ISP who I highly recommend, and they helped me troubleshoot it as far as they could, and the result is, the fiber is up (I tested it by removing the router from the network and plugging my laptop directly into the city/ISP's device, and everything popped back to life.) The jury is not still out on this one. I can't recommend it to anyone. I go back to work tomorrow, and don't have internet in my home office. Neither does my wife. I'll have to run to Best Buy (Worst Experience Ever), or Walmart (they know nothing about anything), and pick something up that WILL work. I don't trust the things Amazon has been doing, so am not sure that I'll get anything back on this purchase. That's just under $100.oo wasted for a product that lasted almost exactly 6 weeks. I used to trust Netgear. It's been a while since I bought anything of theirs. Not since I stopped being an I.T. Director and don't need to purchase equipment for a company. But, my customers now are places everyone's heard of, like Vanderbilt U., the U.S. Senate, the House or Reps; Apple, Oracle, Facebook. You know, tiny companies... I'm not a happy camper. It's Sunday late, and nothing's open, and it sucks to be me. Oh wait, Walmart is open, and I got a TP Link Wi-Fi 6 router. It works fine, as long as I have Smart Connect turned on. With that off, the link is flaky. I tried that with the Netgear router, but it made very little difference. So, to date (it's been several days since writing the above), I was told by Amazon that I had to go to Netgear for help. They will require going through the standard troubleshooting steps, so I'll have to take my internet down and plug this thing back in, then a Netgear engineer will access the router and check stuff out... I may get a new one out of this, and I'll be okay with that. No such luck. I reset it and it stayed up a couple of weeks, but now is completely dead. I'm never buying Netgear again. They charge monthly fees for basic services on the thing. I'll never pay monthly for services like this. QoS, parental controls, etc SHOULD NOT BE SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES!

I replaced my old router with this one and it is so much faster, should have done it a while ago.

Muy fácil de instalacion buen material buen acabado

Excellent. Easy to set up.
