Very powerful and has great range
This is much better than any modem/router xfinity gave me. Range, speed, set up, quality of the device and packaging. Easy to navigate app. Worth the investment in my opinion.

Best Router by far
Thus is my third router from Netgear. They have always been a top tier product. This new one however, blows me away. Was super simple to set up with all of my existing devices. Speeds and coverage are unbelievable. I have 2 gig service from my ISP, every speed test I have done has been over that 2 gig mark. The coverage is unbelievable as well. Not a dead spot in our 3,000 sq ft house.

Very Pricey But Worth It!
700$ for a router is insane! But this is the world we live in these days. This router is worth it!This replaced my old Nighthawk X10 (about 6 years old) paired with Surfboard MG8600 on Comcast network at the top triple play tier. I should be able to pull over 1G down and I was only getting 300MB max — hardwired. My upload speed was capped at 10MBS even with this router. This issue only became noticeable over the past month or two. Wifi coverage in my Bi-Level home was always shoddy at best.I first ordered this router and, after installation, immediately saw my download speeds hit 900MB. Even on 5G WiFi, I have much better coverage up in the bedrooms on the other side of the house. WiFi 6 was outstanding on my Pixel Phone, over 200mbs at the farthest point in the house. I can’t wait to see what WiFi 7 can do.This router also has a 10G port — which I currently have connected to my desktop. I have also bought an 8 Port switch from netgear that supports 7 10g connections to upgrade my home network. Can’t wait to see how that works out.I highly recommend upgrading your cables to the Cat-8 standard! You won’t get the speed you want without the correct cable.I hate having to register and use an app. This is a huge security risk. Luckily, there is still a web based solution.I love the design. No more spider like aesthetics. It’s a simple tower.After upgrading my cable modem to the CM3000, I now get 300MBS upload speeds. Very handy for working at home with teams calls and meetings.I’ve only been running this for 2 days, but it’s a dream come true for me. I’ll be upgrading my local network to 10G, and this modem (when paired with the correct switch) can handle everything you throw at it.

Not Full Featured
Very easy to setup. The app and device make that simple. No issues at all. Was able to use one of my old channels and passwords so all devices (except printers) automatically reconnected.Have to turn off iOS security settings to have the router identify iPhone names. Should be okay since it is a home network.The biggest disappointment is the Parental Controls. Even with the $68/yr subscription they are really lacking. Logs are restricted to the last 250 sites and the log entries do not include the device accessing the site. Only way to deal with that is to give everyone their own profile and add their devices to that profile. Which leads back to turning off the iOS security settings.Signal strength is good. Some of our Macs do not automatically reconnect to the WiFi which has never been an issue before.Adding printers is a pain as you have to install the Netgear USB driver on every computer (even though they print wirelessly).Quality of the router appears top notch. But what would you expect for $700!

Great investment
This router replaced a thirteen year old Nighthawk, which was still running good but had a limit on the number of wifi connections that it could handle.My internet provider said that they raised my speed but I never saw it via speedtest. My speeds ranged from 90 to 190 mbps, which was ok for my needs.After installing this new router, which was relatively simple, my speeds jumped to almost 500 mbps. Plus, the number of wifi connections is greater than I will ever need.This is a pricey router and probably not for the average user.I hope that it lasts as long as the one it replaced.

Solid security, Solid Range and Simple!
I would say that this is one of the most powerful Wifi I’ve had! The 2.4ghz range is quite insane and I’ve had quite a bit of Asus product to compete with.I would defiantly recommend this product if you need a bit of simplicity when it comes to security in your home!

Love it
Truly increased the speed of the network in my house. Seems to be consistent no ups and downs. Use to have a booster in the house, but I no longer need it because the signal strength seems to be good throughout my whole house which is 3,900 sqft

Rendimiento:TenÃa un AP Unifi AP AC Pro y todo mejoró estrepitosamente, rango en la misma planta, velocidad de respuesta de conexión de todos los dispositivos. La cámara que tengo en la entrada emite de inmediato la imagen, antes demoraba unos segundos, pese a que es de 2.4ghzEstabilidad:No es necesario reiniciar el router, trabaja sin problemas todo el tiempo. Sólo recomiendo que en los celulares se deshabilite la opción de MAC address aleatoria, tal como lo indica Netgear.Estética:Es un poco grande, pero es muy bonito, combina con cualquier decoración, eso en comparación con las arañas gamer que tienen las antenas externas.Precio:Si vale la pena si quieres lo mejor del momento, por lo menos deberÃa ser útil la tecnologÃa hasta dentro de 5 años, sin embargo, creo que hay opciones nuevas con rendimiento aceptable a menos por menos de la mitad de precio.Conclusión: Actualizando firmware y configurando todo debidamente es un excelente router.

funciono solamente por cerca de dos horas y su cobertura y velociddad, sobresaliente. Después, simplemente se apago para no volver a encender. Iniciamos la devolución por tal motivo.
