Streaming and gaming without stutter

• Future-proof
• Lots of new security features
• Installation via the app is worthless, especially the personalization options. Saves changes half way (password yes, SSID not) After umpteenth attempt, factory reset

Another good router from Netgear

• Range of the router.
• Handy Nighthawk app, can also be accessed from a modem. Just don't know why you would want that.
• Installation via the app left something to be desired. Logged in via PC and installation was done in no time.

Streaming and gaming without stutter

• Future-proof
• Lots of new security features
• Installation via desktop browser and clear manual works better than via App
• Installation via the app is worthless, especially the personalization options. Saves changes half way (password yes, SSID not) After umpteenth attempt, factory reset

Streaming and gaming now run like a charm. Prepared for the future Playstation 5. Hopefully as robust as the previous Netgear router (8 years old)

Great product! Highly recommended! Router is definitely wort

• Very easy to install
• Very high speed connection
• Very user-friendly
• Price is high but definitely worth the money. Great product! Recommended!

Taken out of the box, plugged in and fully installed within 10 minutes.
Everything is clear in the Netgear App, in this app it is checked whether everything is properly connected, the system does the work (with other routers you have to check everything yourself). The app will indicate if everything is connected and installed correctly. Then you can have all kinds of tests done about the speed (download and upload speed). In the app you also have a clear overview of which devices you have given access to WiFi, you can also easily refuse access to these devices; permanently remove access or block temporary access to Wi-Fi. For a long time, the high price held me back. Once bought, never regretted it for a second. If you look at how everything is neatly packaged, the design has certainly been thought of, very user-friendly, very easy to install, a Netgear app that keeps everything organized and provides the router with the latest updates so that everything continues to work at optimal maximum speed . All in all, highly recommended!
