    This is a great looking router that has great performance capability, convenient mobile app, and 3 years of Armor Security.You can set up everything easily with smartphone once you download the Nighthawk app and scan your router's QR code and it will register for you. You can allow and block network access, change password, do parental control, check internet speed, manage devices on the Wifi, change security setting, and so much more with your smartphone. This app allows remote connection so even if your smartphone is not connected to your router's Wifi, you can control your routers hundreds miles away.Before I purchase this router, I saw the review on this product in regards to the issue with Armor Security that blocks access to many websites. I don't have this issue. I don't know why that reviewer is having that problem but obviously he/she must have done something wrong or tried to access some illegal web maybe.One possible downside is that the status LED light on this router is EXTREMELY BRIGHT. If you allow all the status lights on, you might have a problem sleeping in your room if you're sensitive to bright lights. But you can turn the status lights off by logging into netgear.com. The power status light won't turn off but all the other lights will be turned off which is so much better. But if you turn status lights off, you obviously won't be able to see the internet status just by looking at the light.Yes. It is bit pricey but overall I'm very satisfied with this product as this is performing very well ever since I purchased this and installed it and had zero issues with it so far. I think this is a good investment for your optimized internet & gaming experience.

    Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2020
    We've had this unit for almost a year now. I replaced our outdated router with this one so I could get 1Gb ports (since we have 200Mb+ internet) and faster wifi. It was very easy to set up, and the included app allows you to manage it through your phone. I was surprised at how good the wifi signal was, figuring I'd need a repeater for the farther away downstairs rooms, but not the case. The wifi is typically in the 50Mbps range, and the wired ethernet is indeed 1Gbps. Would definitely buy this again.
    Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2020
    I had a 10-year old router that this Netgear router replaced. The old router, max, could do 750 Mbps. With an internet package with speed up to 100 Mbps and with the old router, I was getting no greater than 95 Mbps down and often slower. Upgrading to this router plus choosing an alternate DNS server, with same internet package, I am getting speeds of up to 120 Mbps across all my devices (except a tablet, which is slow anyway). Speedy!

    Setup was okay. The app did help get me going when my desktop was down during the switch, but then I found it easier to configure everything on my desktop, in the router software, once I got my desktop computer connected. Setup time was about the same as most routers. It wasn't without some frustrations. But now that it is all set up, I'm super excited about it!

    Really slick looking design too!

    This is a great looking router that has great performance capability, convenient mobile app, and 3 years of Armor Security.

    You can set up everything easily with smartphone once you download the Nighthawk app and scan your router's QR code and it will register for you. You can allow and block network access, change password, do parental control, check internet speed, manage devices on the Wifi, change security setting, and so much more with your smartphone. This app allows remote connection so even if your smartphone is not connected to your router's Wifi, you can control your routers hundreds miles away.

    Before I purchase this router, I saw the review on this product in regards to the issue with Armor Security that blocks access to many websites. I don't have this issue. I don't know why that reviewer is having that problem but obviously he/she must have done something wrong or tried to access some illegal web maybe.

    One possible downside is that the status LED light on this router is EXTREMELY BRIGHT. If you allow all the status lights on, you might have a problem sleeping in your room if you're sensitive to bright lights. But you can turn the status lights off by logging into netgear.com. The power status light won't turn off but all the other lights will be turned off which is so much better. But if you turn status lights off, you obviously won't be able to see the internet status just by looking at the light.

    Yes. It is bit pricey but overall I'm very satisfied with this product as this is performing very well ever since I purchased this and installed it and had zero issues with it so far. I think this is a good investment for your optimized internet & gaming experience.

    I enjoy my nighthawk router because it’s fast. It provides me with updates of what is going on with my router. I enjoy the fact that I do not have to use the router of the internet provider. I can look at my app and see how many devices are using my router and control them. It helps out a ton especially for those whom WFH.

    My new Netgear Nighthawk router has made a noticeable difference in my internet reception. Easy to set up and reliable. I also appreciate the added security.

    This arrived today harder than hell to connect , the app is worthless there’s nobody to call to help you out so I guess I’ll be returning this.
    They indicate a phone number to call but if you purchased a product make sure you register it and you will get help faster than any other customer. Lied I was on the phone for just for giggles to see if they’d answer left it on for two hours never answered never responded will be with you in a moment. It’s a lie.
    I did call them on one product I purchased had a question and they said in order to help me they would need to charge me I believe it was $105. If not they could not help me. But I thought I would give them another try with this stupid thing never again. Netgear you’re on your own good luck to anybody else who likes their products not me I ended up going with Google router Wi-Fi. Was a bit challenging to set up I had 2 frontier from the phone company come To help install it. But we couldn’t get the second Device to work. But after about an hour after they left I tried it before, I was going to return it gave it one more try and bingo it set up and they work wonderfully.

    I purchased the Nighthawk AC2300 Cybersecurity WiFi Router based on performance claims, price and product reviews. A primary need was to expand the number of square feet the router would support. Our home is 1,760 sq ft and the Nighthawk AC2300 claimed up to 2,000 sq ft. The unit also came with 3 years of free Armor cyber-security, which by the way has already blocked numerous malware attempts. The Nighthawk router has met all my needs and the price thru Amazon was very competitive. One final point when you download the Nighthawk application to your cellphone, you have enhanced control over the router, who can use it including one-time guests and the ability to monitor unit performance. I am very satisfied by the product and have recommended it to my friends.
