Please read before buying - considering just throwing it away

I just wanted a basic router - nothing fancy but short range. The router might be fine, but it comes with that ripped armor that's more annoying than any malware I've come across. Check the internet. There are so many people who are trying so desperately to get rid of it but can't. Those who use it find that it restricts their access to the internet without finding out why. I figured out how to turn it off but I still get all these messages about one level or another. One user called Netgear…

  • Dope 🔥

Easy to install, fast WIFI

I'm not a techie but I have some computer experience. It was very easy to install and for the most part I don't have as much buffering as I used to. I can watch recently released movies with little or no buffering. My WiFi speeds are much faster in the farthest corners of my house, which has been a problem in the past, especially with music channels. It was not so easy for me to connect other devices to the router. It connects easily to my mobile phone, laptops and TVs. This was difficult with…

what rubbish!

I have been using Netgear products for a while and when it came time to change my router I decided to buy this RS400. What a mistake and what a disappointment! 1. I received an email from Netgear asking me to update the FW to the latest version.2. Since the app remote is disabled (safety first!), I did everything "manually" - for example I downloaded a new firmware, unzipped it and tried to install it via my browser3. no luck, i still have the old revision 4. chat with support. They told me to…

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Crumpled

Hawk routers - networking products

It arrived today, it's damn hard to connect, the app is useless, there's no one to help you so I guess i will return it They provide a phone number to call, but once you've bought the product, be sure to register it and you'll get help faster than any other customer. Lie that I called the phone just to have a laugh to see if they answered, left it on for two hours, never answered, never answered, will be right with you. That's a lie. I called them about a product I bought, I had a question and…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Really don't like it, everything is fine

Router loses connection for no reason - updated

Update 10/03/20 I gave up on this router, it keeps losing signal for no reason. I searched the internet, many users have the same problem. That happened to my friend too. Never had a problem with any other wireless router, only the Nighthawk. - Update, the problem seems to be an interference, it was a place between two stone walls and I think that caused problems with the wireless signal. I have never experienced any interference. The logs on the device don't help either, so you have no idea…

  • Handy thing

EXCELLENT DEVICE ZERO INSTRUCTIONS

The router was delivered on time, excellent seller. The router works great after installation. Unfortunately: >>> There were no instructions included, just a link that didn't work for the smartphone app. I had to dig through extensive Google searches to finally find a manual and instructions on the Netgear website. There is absolutely no way you can install this device without these instructions. Why they aren't included, or at least not linked, is some unforgivable folly on the part…

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • too stupid

This is a great looking router with great performance, easy to use mobile app and 3 years of Armor Security. You can easily set everything up with your smartphone by downloading the Nighthawk app and scanning your router's QR code and it will register for you. You can allow and block network access, change your password, set parental controls, check your internet speed, manage devices on your Wi-Fi network, change security settings and much more with your smartphone. This app lets you connect…

Super happy with it!

I had a 10 year old router replacing this Netgear router. The old router could only output 750 Mbit/s. With an internet package with speeds up to 100 Mbit/s and an old router, I lost no more than 95 Mbit/s and often slower. If I upgrade to this router and choose an alternate DNS server with the same internet package, I get speeds up to 120Mbps on all my devices (except the tablet, which is slow anyway). Quickly! The installation was fine. The app really helped me get started when my desktop…

Pros
  • Not cheap but decent
Cons
  • Long wait
