Loving this router, I was having so many problems with my modem router combo. My wifi seemed to never have been amazing, and continued to get worst to the point where I couldn’t use the internet without hardwiring or just using my cellular data. I replaced it with this router and a new modem and its was like the sky opened up and shown like and the angels began singing! lol, seriously though it is amazing and works fast! I have my computers, tv, children tablets, and cell phones linked to it with no lag. The speeds are amazing! Finally getting use out of the internet speeds I am paying comcast for!

Got the Netgear Nighthawk to replace my old Linksys WRT310N. My 2200 sq ft house has a large brick chimney in the center, which caused me to lose 1/2 my signal strength for a large portion of the house. Thought about a mesh network, but decided to try the Netgear router first. My signal at the new router is now 3X what it was, and my signal at the far end of the house is about 2X stronger than it was. I won’t need a mesh network.

My Apple AirPort Extreme was on its way out and since it has been discontinued I needed to change up. The RS400 seemed like a great deal with the 3yr Armor security included. Setup was easy, but requires the Nighthawk App. Would have preferred to do this directly through the computer. The only reason I did not give this a 5 star rating is because I also had to download a print manager (Netgear USB Control Center) on each of my computers to use my USB printer, and this requires you to disconnect before switching computers. After using Airport routers for years, which did not require additional software, this just seems like unnecessary busy work. All of that being said, I would still recommend this router as a good alternative to Airport.

I was long overdue for a new router. Did some research and chose this one due to my home being completely WiFi now. Easy install, great product and blazing speeds throughout the house. Thanks!

Easy to install. Increased download speed from 30 to 48 gig per second. Only hiccup was PPPoE credentials didn’t seem to work via Nighthawk app. Used routerlogin and credentials worked. Great range. Was either mesh or upgrade to Nighthawk. This router works just fine inside and outside our 3000 sq ft home.

I had only the basic cable router from the cable company with a very weak wifi signal. The Nighthawk was a significant upgrade and now I have a strong wifi signal throughout my entire 3000 square foot home.

Had so many devices on our simple Linksys router that I was getting kicked off WiFi and couldn’t even keep my cell connected. Got the nighthawk router it made a world of difference. I can even go to next door neighbor’s driveway and have decent signal. All devices can stay connected. Well worth the money

I have had this router for over a week now and have nothing but praise for it. I run a Plex server and do a lot of media streaming, which all runs very smooth thanks to this router.

I picked up the nighthawk after continuous failure to appear from our ISP. Since our internet at our business location has been phenomenal. Our ISP showed up and tried to replace it with their Arris router, I informed him that the nighthawk is by far superior in every way and that we would keep the nighthawk over their garbage.

I procrastinated on installing this. Cause I thought it would be alot of registration and complicated IT procedures. But I was wrong . Installed with in 10 mins! My WIFI is now available throughout my entire home (1700 sqft) even works outside while I stream my music. Only thing is it disconnected a couple of times , on its own. Not sure why , but just had to unplug and replug. I love the app you can see what devices are connected to the WIFI and you disconnect them from the app

Heard good things from Wirecutter and other friends, setup was straight forward and seeing very consistant down/up stream connections. The coverage has been so good that I do not need extenders in my two story home.

I went from a very old router to this one. It is extremely fast I can get in line so much quicker and we have multiple devices on line at the same time

My previous router was about 6 years old and I thought it was time for a new one. 6 years ago people only had a few things to hook up, but with today’s smart home plugs, lights and cameras I wanted something modern. So far so good
