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.

This is my second nighthawk and they are reliable and fast products! Could not recommend more to someone who needs a fast and flawless connection. Have never had any issues and set up with the app makes for a smooth ramp up.

Miserable Experience.!. Router stopped working a few months into using it, and I was unable to log back into the setup until I powered the router of 2 ties and “hard reset” it 3 times. Now it doesn’t seem to see all of my connected devices that are plugged-in to the RJ45 connectors. Nothing but a nightmare and waste of my day.

This router works great. It has a pretty long range even if I’m out the house and in the front yard. I have like 15 devices connected, so it does the job. But idk if it’s my internet provider or if it’s the router….so the only bad thing that I would say is that it drops the connection at least 2 times a day. It takes about 5 mins to reboot and we’re back up. But overall it’s a pretty great router.

It functions nicely and helps alot with the wifi. It lacks the control ability at times but overall does what it claims it will.

Replaced a Netgear product after 2 years. A “firmware” update compromised my old router. I felt this is a Netgear issue and should get a new router.

This router provides some of the best coverage I have seen. I particularly like its user interface, which makes configuring this device a snap.

every day at around the same time a hacker or multiple hackers attack my router. we power down and they move on. had the router for 7 days. no problem for first 3 days. i had a norton smart router but that is being decommissioned jan 31 2022. any suggestions or strategies to eliminate these whack job hackers.

Product works well. Downloading an app is unnecessary tech. The constant marketing for the Armor security is annoying. I’m to the point where my mind has been so bombarded with advertisements everywhere I turn that I no longer pay attention or believe any of them.

a couple of times I had no internet. seems to reboot itself from time to time.

The router is super easy to set up. The set up app is quick to install and easy to use. The only minor issue I had is I wish there was a way, in the app, to adjust the channel the router is using. You have to go to a webpage and login there to do this. You should be able to do everything all in one place. Either you do everything in the app or you use a website, otherwise there is no point in having the app if you still have to go somewhere else to access some control features.

Worked well for a year or two but now it can’t hold the internet connection for more than a few hours. On a video call? Forget it. Want to stream? Not happening. It’s definitely victim to the concept of technology obsolescence.

Have used this router for several years now and have had very good results. Covers a large area, and the USB ports is so useful for file sharing! It is very customizable, and we’ll supported.

I just got my nighthawk based on friends reviews and I’m happy so far, had a few issues with the app but so far it’s way better than my ISPs router!

Owning and operating a small business is difficult enough as is without having to worry about the signal of our mobile and wired devices, and knowing that our Netgear Router is able to keep up with all we need to do is the best piece of mind we could have bought. Great product, amazing signal strength, and best class performance.

Unpleased with this product. Purchased the product and after the hardware warranty expired. The port on my device just went out. It was working fine one day. Then the next day, literally nothing. Port just goes out and I’m just stuck. Now I have to pay for the internet person coming out and I also have to go buy a new router or pay to rent their device.

We had a different router previously and found that it wasn’t functioning with three people using high bandwidth software during work hours. A few people recommended this Nighthawk, and it’s SO!! MUCH!!! BETTER!! We haven’t had any connection issues so far, and things seem to run so much faster and more smoothly. I don’t plan on going back to any other router after this.

So far so good. It is handling all the devices we have connected to it.

This router is the best router I have ever owned I have not had any problems with it for as long as I have owned it. All other routers I always had to replace between every 6 months to a year but this one havnt had to replace at all and its been way more than that. Thanks netgear for helping me find my real life superhero.
