Review on NETGEAR Nighthawk X6 AC3000 - Dual-Band πŸ“Ά Smart WiFi Router with Gigabit Ethernet, Alexa Compatible (R7900) by Chris Long

Revainrating 3 out of 5

JUNK routers are the best networking products

I bought this router in late 2017 and it worked great but sometimes it's very connection intensive. However, I overlooked these things as it worked great. However, this router is nothing more than throwaway garbage. I'd rather say what it really is, but I'll refrain from further abuse today. The oath box in my house is full of money after today. This thing died yesterday for no apparent reason after less than 18 months of use. Still glowing showing everything is EXCELLENT! I just spent 5 hours working on this thing; Replacing my cable modem and fixing this thing with no signs of it being defective. It even performed great on the NetGear Genie from my laptop to my router. Apparently the modem-to-modem ethernet connector on the Nighthawk is blown or just not working (the Keebler elf holding the connector together must have fallen asleep or died). After 5 hours of swearing, plugged in my old CISCO router and the internet was working fine. You know what I wanted to say at that moment. Starts with F and ends with K. Another great product from NETGEAR. I stopped using them years ago due to the same buggy cheap junk but thought I'd give it another try. NETGEAR - YOU'RE GONE AGAIN. Thanks for wasting over $200 of my hard earned money.
