Must be restarted several times a day!

100% does not work. I recently bought this router after switching to a 1GB internet service and needed a router that could handle the bandwidth. As I work from home, reliability is very important to me. The first thing that struck me after unpacking this thing is that they are trying to sell you crap. Parental controls, security updates etc. But. however. I had problems with this router immediately after installing it. I'm a software engineer and I understand the iterative process of software…

  • dream come true
Cons
  • secret

Lost connection with iPhone. No connection to Dell laptops

Good speed for a wired connection. Cannot connect to 3 Dell laptops, one is old, one is only 1.5 years old. All drivers updated by a highly knowledgeable family member. Without change. Every day the signal disappears on 2 of my iPhones (xr). Never had to work. Easy Amazon returns. Now I have Google Nest WiFi. perfection

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • Some minor issues

Garbage computers and accessories

The signal often breaks off. Don't waste money. I thought my intermittent dropout signals were my modem, replaced it. Thought it might be my ethernet cables, replaced them. Even the cable company has replaced the trunk. Still problems, only this router remains; Which I definitely didn't see as a problem considering I just bought it! Turns out he was the culprit the entire time. What a waste of money!

Pros
  • understandable for the old
Cons
  • Protection

There were problems at first, but now it seems to be working.

This router kept breaking down after I first got it. It took several attempts to contact tech support to figure it out. After a few failed attempts, I had to manually install the router's firmware/software to get it working. Should have come out of the packaging like this. I like the router, but there weren't that many problems before.

Pros
  • Not just useful for its intended purpose
Cons
  • Big and bulky

Big improvement over previous generation routers

PROS: Provides a strong signal in small to medium sized homes (we have a 2100 square foot two story house and the modem needs to be in the corner). general floor plan, but with this router we get full coverage everywhere.) Armor, which analyzes your smart devices for vulnerabilities. Easy management and setup with an iPhone or Android app (initial setup only took 10 minutes and I'm happy to check/change/run speed tests with my phone) - Outperforms a/b/g/n generation routers in throughput ( You…

Easy setup, high-speed WiFi!

Great router so far. Setup was easy, using the Nighthawk phone app as suggested. I had to restart a couple of times, but then everything was synced. I have 200MB internet at home. I usually get a little more on wired 215-230 connections. With this router, I get the same speeds on my Wi-Fi devices as I get on wired PC connections. The app is great for changing settings etc. There are some nice security and parental control features too. Highly recommended.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Some problems

Huge improvement. Worth the money to support multiple devices

This is a great router. It powers my work computer, my two tablets, my TV and my phone all at the same time with incredible speed. GREAT UI and easy to use phone app. Very happy with this product. It also has the ability to send high-speed bandwidth to more modern devices while still going to older devices at optimal speeds. Great router!

Pros
  • nice touch
Cons
  • Expandable
