  • Easy to set up
Style: WiFi 6, 5.4Gbps, DumaOS 3.0
I like this router a lot, my old one finally died so I needed a new one, and saw this one was on a sale so I decided to pick it up. It was easy to set up, and it has a lot of settings you can adjust. Been using it for a few weeks now and I’m really impressed with it and the speeds I get especially when gaming ... show more

I’m and older gentleman whose dealt with cable company services for decades and in my opinion just purchase and AppleTV and your router, I’m using there modem but only except the one that comes in its box not in the plastic wrap, because a technician I’ve gotten to know mention this to me, the ones in the plastic wrap are reconditioned the components coming out of there box are the new ones.

Netgear Nighthawk to the rescue. My previous Netgear router was 8 years old and time to replace it. I purchased this and now there is no more buffering when I’m streaming programs. I would recommend this item. I got it half off.

I've purchased multiple Nighthawk routers now and am always please with the quality and performance of these. They are reliable and easy to set up. Will likely continue purchasing these as they are dependable as I need them to be.

  • Glitzy Gunky and doesn't deliver core freatures
Style: WiFi 6, 5.4Gbps, DumaOS 3.0
Update: I'm a security architect / engineer, been in the profession for 20+ years. Manage firewalls at work. Pro’s: Wifi - fast, true, nice maps, lots of charts. Very Pretty, That’s where it stops though. Usefulness? I found 17+ major areas where this > $300 item just does not stack up, so it will be ***returned***. TL;DR VASTLY SUB PAR for a) the price (> 300) b) NetGears' Rep (I have several products) c) and the maturity of the market. Yes, it is updated to current version as of early May 2022. I found at least 15 major usability problems that cause you to go elsewhere. Editing your own PING heatmap is buggy, error pone and just does not appear to work. These problems that WILL affect home users. There are BUGS listed here and significant user usability issues that, with 3% of effort, would make this device *significantly* more usable for the home user. 1) Router does not come with an AdBlock list, it should, as its a core feature. When you *first* open the ad bock area, you get a nice message explaining feature, and it specifically calls out protecting smart TV's. When you go find in the support forum the suggested block list, the “default” one, and … you go to Amazon TV, IMDB shows do not play. Why? Because … they have an ad. Stop the ad blocker – IMDB shows play. Now this is not some obscure cheap-o “smart TV” service, its … AMAZON and IMDB! 2) Router has a “ping map” feature, the idea is to see response time for common games. That’s not valuable to me. The idea of having my OWN ping map for work services, Google DNS. OpenDNS servers, etc., would help me to be sure that the services I need for work are “up” and I have good I’Net connectivity. All of the entries I created do respond to ping (ICMP Echo Request) at the cmd line, but … alas … when you add them to the custom router’s list and try it, you get zero response. Unlike the game lists. 3) AD BLOCK: The adblock feature has a “bubble map” showing volume of adds blocked by a given device on the network. Devices are listed as “unknown”, UNLESS the device gives up its name in some manner. For a home user, this is useless. The absolute minimum should be to show the sending devices IP address. THAT would allow the system user to at least see if ads are blocked for … oh … I don’t know, their SMART TV!!! It takes a LOOOOONG time for the ‘adblocker’ page to paint (longer than others). The ad blocker screen did not paint on initial access when I started this write up. I tried going to other screens, and back to ad blocker. ONLY when I hit the “refresh” button in the browser did the adblocker page paint. AdBlock history only goes back 24 hrs. Does not appear to be a way to export ad blocked sites – although you can click at a point in time on the bubble chart and see the ad sites blocked for a specific point in time. Does not appear a way to ‘exclude’ a system from adblocking (that would solve my smart TV issue…) 4) QoS: On day one of getting the device - I set this up. ON day three, when I wet to the QoS settings, I get the “Welcome to QoS” page. I looked at it 3-4 times, and never got the ‘welcome’ page before til day 3. QOS display just has broad classifications of applications, does not appear a way to edit the classifications, or add/delete/edit them. 5) Network Monitor: Same as point 4 on the “welcome” page. 6) “Network Monitor” shows information in the aggregate, you cannot (on this page) identify a top consumer. Why? Because what little “device” information there is not an IP address, or a system name (7/8 say “unnamed device”). I had a Nintendo Switch online – but it did not show up here on this page. 7) “Device Manager” – you may see a device name, you do see a MAC address, you DO NOT see the current/most recent device IP unless the device is online "at the moment". Most home users can connect the dot w/ a system name or IP, and may not know how to find a MAC address. Why show the MAC and not the most recent IP? OH – and I do see a “Nintendo Switch” in this screen, but not others … so … the Identifier in this fancy map display isn’t seen elsewhere, like the “traffic controller” page … Oh no, wait, after 30 seconds, there it is in the list on the TC page … why the delay? 8) The traffic controller page does not reliably populate – 2/3x, it is blank, 1/3 there is no info when you get the page elements – all of which are devoid of data. This is a page where you ‘configure’ properties – so it being empty is OK. It is not OK that a page with no data for its areas does not initially paint. 9) The “wireless status” don’t tell you the number of connected devices. Every other router I've used does. 10) LOGS: There are two places where you see logs – Setup | Monitoring ) Logs and Sys Info | Logs (bottom). These areas display … different information. (so they are different logs, but not labeled that way) The first just has DHCP logs. The second is system level activity. Aside from copy/paste (into notepad?) doesn’t appear to be a way to export/save logs, although there is an ‘email logs’ button – but NOT on the Sys Info | Logs area! 11) ON the dashboard widget that shows “Internet Status” you see the ISP IP, you do not see the DNS servers – have to go to the setup area for that. When you resize the widget you get an error “Missing JSON response” - QA should have caught that. 12) The “Block Sites” does not take a list off the Internet, you would need to edit each entry by hand. QA should have *DEFINITELY* CAUGHT THAT. Many other devices do this, lower than this price point, and PiHole does it for free. So does OpenDNS (for the most part), and NextDNS is $20/yr. 13) The “Block Service” function doesn’t block a “service”, it blocks a TCP or UDP port. Services can run on any port, this section is poorly named. 14) The “Email” address config page does not appear to have any ability to work with MFA enabled services – I did not try here, just reporting what I see on the page. (MFA may work, no idea…) 15) UPDATES: When you press the “check update” button, you get … black text on a dark read background, which is barely readable. You also aren’t told if you are current or not. SO – the user doesn’t know if they need to .. update. QA should have caught that. Most other areas have white text on the dark red background. 16) NTP – one server only, not multiple, can be defined. 17) PING HEAT MAP: This is supposed to be a shining area o/t product. I have Five (5) entries selected in the list for the heat map – a pencil icon shows. Cannot figure a way to change that. SOME times when you click on pencil, you get a “RPC error 'ERROR_UNKNOWN': cannot open //data/dumaos/rapp-data/com.netdumasoftware.pingheatmap/data/usr/custom_1651432715.lua: No such file or directory -> stack traceback: ?: in function …..” error message. Sometimes you get to create / edit a list. Inconsistent. 18) Other – I could not find a way to change the system color scheme, you are stuck with a fairly garish “red” scheme. AND … I do have “accessibility” checked as “on”. (I could see no difference with this checked on or off). ORIGINAL Post: Had it for two days. WOW - buggiest code EVER!!!! Took me several attempts to create my own 'ping' list. AND ... then it doesn't work. Can't tell you how many parts / panels generate a JSON / Javascript error. Seems that very little QA was done. Super Un Happy. ... show more

  • A very good router with some caveats
Style: AX5400 WiFi 6 | 6 Streams
I bought this router to replace an aging nighthawk previous model. I was drawn to it's better speeds both in terms of the internet and the intranet. Setup can be a little funky. The device comes with no instructions whatsoever. The only thing they tell you is to download the Netgear nighthawk app to your phone and to follow the instruction. This works fairly well as long as you don't make the same mistakes I made. Tip to avoid my mistake: Since I already had a nighthawk, I didn't use the power supply and internet Ethernet cable that came with it. The power supply looked identical to what I already had with the same connector. When I got the first AX5400 I could not get it to work at all. It simply would not come online. Their tech support seemed lost and recommended I ask for a replacement device, which I did. The replacement arrived a few days later and it too showed the same exact symptoms. This time I wasn't buying it, no way I got two bad ones in a row. So I tried to install again. This time all i did was disconnect the old nighthawk from the modem and I used the power supply and Ethernet cable that came with it to install it independently without disconnecting all the cables on the old one. Darn thing woke up like Rip Van Winkle. Moral of this story, do not use your old connectors. I have no clue why but they won't work. The power supply had the same values and markings and the old cable was a standard Cat6e cable. Doesn't make any sense to me. Never the less at that point everything worked great. I get some serous download speeds 3.5 times faster than my old one. My internal intranet between computers also saw a tremendous increase in speed. I didn't care for the bundled Armour security that comes with it. It is essential a bitdefender antivirus with modification to be used by the router. Darn thing blocks all kinds of websites out of the box and it is only a 30 day trial after which you need to pay for it. All my computers on my intranet are already protected by good anti-virus software so I simply turned it off. Never did care much for bundled products because at some point there is likely to be a disagreement between the bundled wares and then you are just SOL. Another issue I am having is updating the firmware. It tells me new firmware is available but it refuses to download it and install. I still don't know what that is all about. Netgear products are pretty pricey to be having these kind of quirks, and they really should include more installation details when you run into problems with the app installation like I did. Aside from those few issues which don't seem to impact performance I am pretty happen with this new router. EDIT: I should add that Netgear tech support leaves a lot to be desired. ... show more
