Nighthawk R7350 AC2400 Router: Fast Beamforming Wi-Fi for Gaming, 4K UHD Streaming. 2400Mbps, 2500 Sq Ft, QoS, Dual Core, 2.4 + 5GHz, 5 x GIGABIT + USB 3.0 Port, Smart WiFi Router R7350-NAS

Replaced an old +10 yr old router that was only getting 15Mbps (out of the 100Mbps we pay for.) Now we are getting 40-45Mbps, higher if closer to the router. Old router was also dropping signal several times a day (very annoying.) Zero drops with the new router after about a week. Quite happy with the Nighthawk purchase so far. This router sends out 2 Wi-Fi networks: a 5G network and a normal one. The 5G sends out a faster speed but to a smaller area, so if you are having trouble with slow speeds or disconnects, check to see if you are on the regular network (which covers a larger area.) Netgear also asks you to use a mobile device to install the router, but there is an option to install the router if you don't have one available. Setup was not difficult. So far, so good. Thanks!

I don't know why several other reviewers were upset they had to create an account on the Netgear app. It did make me a bit hesitant buying the router but what the heck, I bought it, made an account, and I'm so happy with this purchase. I like being able to control, change settings, etc from the app, soooo easy! The range on this is excellent, I've walked about 150 feet from the router and never lost signal. This thing is unreal fast! Get off the fence and buy it you won't regret it!

Wifi signal worked very well for 3 months but after that would not produce a wifi signal. Contact customer. They tried to help and after 4 hours the tech concluded that the router was not sending a wifi signal and agreed on replacing it but the company did not have one I stock and decided to give me an upgrade after I sended the old one back. The replacement arrived but it was the one I sent back to them. They mentioned that they would send out the rorrect one and they apologize for the delay. They wanted me to pay to have the same one I sent back already again a second time and because the mistake was thiers and it was not fair for me to have to send this old one back a second time. I did not get the replacement router from netgear. Customer service does not work they work it should. They will answer the phone but they will not honor thier customers at all. So they will try to get you to fill out a survey to give them a wonderful experience with andrhats when they will stab u in the back.

I would give it 5 stars if it wasn’t for the pushy extended support sales tactics. Works just fine once you make it through the overly complex set up process. I used the net gear app installed on my cell phone as recommended in the brief written instructions. They basically hold you hostage until you get to the part where you are offered extended support for a price. There is no clear decline option. It’s either buy plan A or B. You have to make a decision before your router will work. Trying to figure out how to decline or if you can even decline, I “FINALLY” noticed a black X in the upper right corner of the web page. I hit the X and the page disappeared and a new page greeted me with “you are now done, your WiFi will now work”. I think the only reason for doing that is to strong arm you into an extended plan. Never experienced a set up process like that before.

I needed to replace my previous router, which was running on 6 years old. That was a NETGEAR Router too and worked great! So, I was looking on Amazon for a new one and found this one at $157. I checked the reviews and ratings, which were great, and I planned on spending a lot more, so I purchased it. It came with a small guide with a website link to register the router. I called my Internet provider, who helped me easily set up and connect the router with my account. My WiFi speed has been fantastic (as it should right). I highly recommend this router. Hopefully see you in about 6 years for the next router review. :-)

I got this NETGEAR Nighthawk as a recommendation from a friend who's generally had good experience with NETGEAR products, including routers. However, I had trouble with not one but TWO attempted installations of a NIGHTHAWK router. With the first one, the installation was easy, but apparently there's a Firmware Update requested for after all is done. Little did I know doing this Firmware Update from the Nighthawk app actually messes up the Firmware, causing the Router to STOP WORKING. Power cycling the router doesn't work, nor does doing a factory reset of the router. Thankfully with Amazon I was able to do a quick router exchange. The second NIGHTHAWK router I got, I was able to install with relatively little issue now that I know NOT to do a Firmware Update from the app. I was able to even have proper Wi-Fi for a few days. After after taking vacation for a weekend, I walk home and INTERNET WAS RANDOMLY NOT WORKING. It seemed to be a NIGHTHAWK issue, so I tried to do maintenance through the Nighthawk app as well as on a browser maintenance tab. I tried power cycling the modem and router and made sure all the proper ethernet cables and such we're still plugged in. I had an old Apple router I still had as backup, and the Wi-fi was working on that. I then proceeded to ragequit, and return this second Nighthawk router. I don't plan on getting on Netgear router or heck maybe even other products from them. Despite the low score I will give a few positives -The Nighthawk app is actually pretty nice, nifty, and quick. Just too bad the product itself sucks -When you can actually get in contact with support, the people are nice and helpful. The problem is, by far the fastest way is through online chat on Netgear's site, and sometimes it can be "Too busy" so you can't access them. Attempting to contact them by Phone and E-mail takes forever, though that's just common with any popular brand I guess. TLDR: Router setup has sensitive SOFTWARE BREAKING BUGS. I'm decently knowledgeable on tech, and a person who doesn't know how internet works will likely hate routers if they tried to use this.
