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 bought this recommended by friends and I have had nothing but problems with this from the start. It is constantly having to be reset and it has become a nuisance for my work from home wife and my distance learning kid. I am going returning this ASAP

Setup was easy, and it worked right away. Haven’t had any issues with it, and we’ve been up and running for a full week.

After purchasing the nighthawk setup was easy after downloading the app and I immediately saw a boost of about 30 mbits/sec with my connected devices. And now the range covers my whole house at 1780 sq ft

My router arrived very quickly. I knew it should be an easy install, but I was incredibly wrong. No matter what I did it still would not work. I gave up and called tech support. The woman was so rude that I almost hung up, but I needed her help. Once it was working I was very pleased with the speed. The only issue was that it needed to be rebooted 2 to 3 times a day every day to regain any connection. I gave up and decided to buy a different brand. While reading reviews a guy that said he did a factory reset and reinstalled his router and it worked. So, I tried it too. Now it works nicely except puts itself to “sleep” requiring me to prompt it through the app. Overall, the install was not easy and it’s frustrating to wake it constantly. I personally think there are better and easier routers available. If mine continues to “sleep” it’s getting returned.

Set up was super easy and it’s worked great. Not sure if it’s the router or my internet provider but it does need to be reset occasionally cause we lose signal. But other than that it’s been awesome.

I bought this router for my college apartment which required it to be connected to multiple devices. During my time with this router it was used to the max and preformed like a champ. Either daily school use or a hardcore gaming session it was up to the task. I recommend this router to anyone!!

Solid performance, provides good coverage, and works seamlessly with a Nighthawk extender. But, I took away one star because the app is irritating to work with. Reverted to browser interface to do the set-up.

So thankful for this. Honestly… I do not know why it took so long to replace my ATT default router/modem with this. Works like a charm and no more crazy throttling.

Finally a router that was very easy to install and perform! Very happy with the results. Makes me think combo units are not the way to go. Very happy.

We subscribed to Spectrum for internet and cable services. However, the price increases were ridiculous, and they charged monthly for their wireless router. After getting frustrated with the rate hikes, we kept only internet and bought our new router – WOW! The speed and range it covers is OUTSTANDING! Not to mention the amount of devices it carries ALL AT ONCE! BEST MONEY SPENT!!!

This router is user friendly and hassle free. The signal strength alone is worth buying it.

I had a little trouble setting up my echoes but eventually got them to work. Instructions overall were easy to follow. I definitely needed a new router since realizing the difference in made in the speed of my internet. I had a Netgear before this new one and I’m just as satisfied. Excellent product.

This is a replacement to my Norton Core router. One of my biggest worries was setting up the router. It was a so easy with the phone app. The speed and broadcast area is awesome. Glad I selected this router.
