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 really like the speed and app for this router. I picked this particular one for the circle app compatibly. I had a nighthawk before this that randomly broke, not happy about that, but overall it’s a good one.

Just purchased this to replace an older/outdated router. The difference is amazing- so much better.

Really fast router for Xfinity. Most importantly I like the automatic frequency management where it switches your devices from either 5Ghz or 2.4Ghz depending on different conditions. Cool device

Not a plug and play for me. Took me lots of time. First called NightGear. First guy (probably not US) not interested, Probably his boss came on line and helped a little. I gave up and waited for next day. Called back and got some more advice, last try before file 13. Advised to get Xfinity to remotely remove a block in their modem. That took time but Xfinity very helpful. Called back to Nextgear and very helpful lady helped me finally get it sorted out and working. Good speed through router 58.7 download. Big improvement from my 4.3 old router. Upload is 5.7 which is not important to me. Just a small loss downloading going through xfinity modem but forgot that number. For what I use it for, it works. Not sure about range but my phone picks the wifi signal up from the road at about 150 ft. so I can open my garage door. Before had to almost get to house and right spot.

This router is just what we needed to upgrade our old router with. Our internet is faster and also covers our entire home which our old one did not.

I think the product is fabulous, however, my new router is a replacement that would not have been necessary had I had free access to customer support. Turns out, I only needed to depress a switch, I did not know existed.

Had to replace an older Nighthawk. Once it was set up. Has been working like a champ.

I really like our netgear night hawk router. It is perfect for all the devices to connect without slowing down. We have a big household and my kids do a lot of gaming and streaming movies so it’s perfect for us.

The router is a huge set up from my isp, but for some reason all my devices lose connection to it from time to time. I’ve had the router for 2 weeks or so and 3 times all devices lose connection and I have to reset the modem and router for it to work. Never a problem before.

I am not very techy and I asked my son-in-law to install for me. It installed as expected and there were no glitches. I have been able to connect my other devices to this network on my own. It has been trial and error, the error part was my fault always. I would recommend this WiFi Router to my family.

My biggest complaint is the router forces each of the clients to use the router for DNS resolving (it then forwards it) instead of the actual DNS setting. If you use pi-hole or AdGuard Home, you will only see the requests coming from the router and not the client, which prevents you from troubleshooting a malware event or having client specific settings.

The NETGEAR Nighthawk AC1900 Dual Band WiFi Router (R7000) has given me some of the fastest internet speeds I’ve ever encountered, with an efficient and DIY setup process. All while looking great, it gives me just about everything I would need for insanely fast and impressive internet speeds, and I couldn’t be more glad to have purchased it when looking for the right router. Highly recommend!

We sorta installed it ourselves, with some help from out internet provider…it was actually pretty easy and what a difference in my internet. A definite keeper.

After adding 2 more Ring Cameras I realized that our old router couldn’t handle the workload. Nighthawk solved the problem! It improved the speed and picture quality.

Upgraded after a previous version was starting to drop signal all the time and now I no longer have the issue until the next wireless upgrade happens.

We moved into our new home almost 7 years ago. At the time we were not away we couldn’t get internet. We have tried for 7 years to get it run to our home and finally just this least week we were able to get it. When we hooked up the wifi router we had instant connection on all our devices and this has made life a lot simpler. I am able to work from more efficiently and once my child returns to school she will have the resources at her fingertips for what she needs to do school work. This has been a great product and works really fast.
