NETGEAR Nighthawk 6-Stream Dual-Band WiFi 6 Router (RAX54S) – Security Features, AX5400 Wireless Speed, Up to 5.4 Gbps, Covers up to 2,500 sq. ft., 25 Devices - 1-Year Armor Subscription Included

I got this as an upgrade to my refurbished Netgear RS7000 router which seemed to have trouble supporting my security camera. I was not able to get the camera to properly connect to the internet after a reset. Installation was easy once I found the button to add a new system to the Nighthawk app as the app seemed to try connecting to my old device. The WiFi signal strength was tested to very fast as I also upgraded my internet plan. Sometimes when flipping to pages on my phone the page briefly says offline but reconnects back quickly. Streaming movies was great with the 5G GHz WiFi while 2.4 GHz handles my other devices. So as long as there is connectivity I am happy.

Personally, I have always preferred having my own router for my internet services and brands Netgear and Nighthawk for me are the absolute best. This one was bought for my dad since he had to replace his old router.This one is an upgraded version of the one he had before and he absolutely loves it. It delivers fast speed WiFi, connection is strong and dependable and it’s not just a router but one that extends the signal further out so whether he is in his apartment upstairs or his comadre in hers downstairs they all get a reliable strong wifi connectionFor the price it’s great because this something that will last for years if taken care of properly.No more wasting money on “renting” the equipment or devices. Just buy your own router making sure it’s compatible with your service provider.

Honestly I didn’t do a lot of research before buying a router as I was in the middle of moving and just wanted something that would work for me. I was slightly hesitant about this router because it’s expensive but I use wifi a lot and it’s essential for me not to have any lagging or trouble so I went for it and I don’t regret it. Don’t forget that it will act like it’s working but not work until you register/set it up but I’ve had no problems at all despite being in a busy area.

We recently downgraded our cable to just internet. I purchased this router to get rid of the rental router I had with cable. The installation was pretty easy to do. I like the external antenna’s because of the longer/wider range. I no longer have to use the 2 WiFi extenders I had to get WiFi out on my back deck and one of the wireless cameras. Also, the added bonus was no $18 monthly rental fee from my internet provider.The only downside I have, nothing to do with the router, is any device you have on your wireless network has to be changed. I had around 13 devices. Phones, cameras, laptops ,thermostats, printer, appliances etc. it took longer to fix them than it took to setup the router

So far it’s working wonders. I have not had any drops in my internet since getting this. The signal is really strong too! Definitely worth every penny. My portal for the ps5 used to degrade in graphics then drop completely. Not anymore! It’s smooth and translates my inputs with barely any delay! Much better than that spectrum WiFi router I had that was costing me 10$ a month to rent.

I bought this to replace my aging WiFi 4 Nighthawk. It was expensive when new and worked well for a while, but it started having connection issues, especially downstairs since the router was upstairs. This new router has excellent connectivity. Even with multiple devices, I haven’t had any problems.The app is also very useful. It lets you check your settings, see which devices are connected, and can warn you about unsafe websites. You can even block sites, though that feature is part of a paid plan. However, you get it free for a year when you register the product. I would recommend buying this.

The WiFi is great and the setup was a relatively easy process, but it's a bit confusing with there being 2 networks (NETGEAR24 and NEATGEAR24-5G) with some parts of the setup being based off assumptions more than instructions, like the app didn't tell me anything about the antennas but I just assumed you can finger-screw them on. Also, for some reason, it'll automatically block websites for malware protection, except the only websites have been for the company that fixed my refrigerator. Last thing, I don't know why but for all of my devices, NETGEAR24 isn't the default network, and it won't let me switch it, so they connect back to my original router a lot.

Purchased this to get updated (faster speeds) from old router which was bogged down from all the wireless items we use. This unit also provides a larger coverage area for wi-fi, which has eliminated dead/weak spots. It also handles up to 25 devices, so I am covered for not just my desktop computers and TV's, but also our laptops, tablets, cell phones, Alexa devices, Roku, Xbox, and wi-fi cameras around my property. Easy set up and great performance including for gaming. It is everything I needed.
