The R7000 Nighthawk AC1900 Smart Wi-Fi Router from Netgear uses a dual core 1GHz processor and AC1900 Wi-Fi technology to deliver speed and performance that’s perfect for gaming and streaming HD video. It supports both 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz wireless frequencies, providing up to 1900 Mbps (600 on the 2.4 GHz band and 1300 on the 5.0 GHz band) data transfer rates.
The Nighthawk router utilizes Beamforming+ technology, meaning that unlike omnidirectional Wi-Fi which fans the signal out within a range, it communicates directly with devices such as tablets or smartphones, and beams a signal specifically to the device. This reduces interference, and provides stronger, faster, and more reliable connections. Mobile Wi-Fi speeds are much faster than previous technology thanks to the router’s high-powered amplifiers and antennas.
The R7000 Nighthawk router also supports both Google Voice assistant and Amazon’s Alexa for added functionality.

I love the netgear product and it’s the best. I always buy netgear for my home and I tell my friends and family about it also.

Works wonderfully for networks with 20 devices or less with a fairly high wireless speed cap of 600 mbps. The accompanying Nighthawk smartphone app is also extremely useful with monitoring your router’s performance and includes a free trial of a Netgear’s wireless security service (Armorware) and 90 days of free technical support for your device. Overall would highly recommend this product!

Very easy to swap this unit for my outdated WiFi router. Directions are easy to follow and can be completed in less than 10 minutes! I really like the app that allows me to run real-time checks on access and internet speed.

Updated my router to the Nighthawk and I really like all the options it has. It was a huge upgrade from my previous and I was surprised at how easy the setup was and how much I can control with the app.

I live in the country where service is sketchy at best. This router was recommended to me from a friend and I went from waiting 10 minutes for a page to load to mere seconds. Priced well and easy to install. Highly recommend!

A great WiFi for our extended office and shop with 8 computers. Have a router for our network using lasers and other engraving machines, it keeps us altogether!!

I have been using this for over 3 years and it has rarely given me an issue (like needing a reset). Setup is quick and easy especially with the app, and the range is good. Now, I don’t have a gigantic house, but I can even get good signal in my neighbor’s house! I can definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a high performance and reliable router to serve a small to medium size house!!

I had no internet. Tried to troubleshoot never thought I needed to replace my router. Once I replaced the router with the NETGEAR nighthawk, internet was available

Works great for all my Ring cameras now. My old router kept showing a weak signal of ( -72 RSSI) Received Signal Strength Indicator to my Ring floodlight / camera. This camera / floodlight is approximately 60 feet away from my router. With this new router I’m reading a consistent -60 which works great now. I would definitely recommend this device to anyone wanting to upgrade their router!!!

This router is better than my last router. The last one I had to unplug and reboot once or twice a week. I have not has to do that with this one after a few months of use.

Works great, looks pretty sharp, and the app control is a really cool feature. Probably can’t do much better at the price point.

We had an Acura previously but the signal would drop periodically with this new nighthawk Netgear our signal is strong for our 3800 square-foot house

The router has allowed my internet features to be used in such a more efficient and powerful way.

When it’s working, it’s great. I’ve had to reset the router everyday this week….. but like I said, when it’s working, it’s great!

Had this router for 1 year and 2 months exactly and what do you know, stopped connecting to the internet. I have a seperate modem that I connect to this router. When it worked it was alright, wifi speeds are really slow to be honest. Seems to be a trend with netgear products. I have never had one last more then a year or so. Anyway, the r7000 was receiving internet from my modem but not sending internet to any devices. Tried power cycling and factory reset and still nothing. Ended up buying a new router and everything works great again so clearly the netgear r7000 was defective after 14 months of use. and for the price point I would hope to get more out of it. I have been a loyal Netgear user for years but this was the last straw. Bought a Linksys product this time around. Netgear has just consistently been an OK product when it works and they also stop working after about a year of use. Waste of money, look elsewhere.
