I bought this router to replace the one I was renting from service provider. It has improved the wi-fi connectivity throughout my entire house. I am happy with this purchase and recommend it to anyone.

Bought this router at the beginning of 2022 after reviewing 25 other routers. I’ve been in the IT business for 30+ years and needed an ultra-reliable solution for my business network without having to migrate over to NOC level aspect. The cost for this router was comparable to other high end routers. I also purchased the CM2000 Modem and discarded my ISP’s equipment due to their unreliable functionality. Unpacking and setup was very simple and all equipment appeared to be brand new with easy instructions to get started. Changing the default login info was effortless and I was able to configure the entire process with no problems. Updating the firmware was also unproblematic and the phone app installation when well too. Several months after the initial installation, I had some issues with the phone app. The app would not sort the list of devices connected and the reset function would not work on the app. Shortly thereafter, the phone app was updated and everything worked fine again. A couple more months later, I ran into a few new issues with the router. First, I cannot change the QOS function. If I try to define my internet bandwidth – the router interface does not save the setting and reverts back to the “SpeedTest” setting. Second, the “Security” says it is not enabled on the Home page of the router after logging in. Even though there is security setup on the routher and the phone app, it still says that it is “Not Enabled.” Lasty, I am unable to turn OFF the “WPS” function and button on the router. The “LED Control Settings” just turn off the lights on the actual router device. This is not what I need. The WPS button can still be pushed and a device can be connected. The “WPS Wizard” get to a point when it asks to input a “PIN Number” if chosen not to use the recommended “Push Button” option. If a 4-8 digit PIN is not entered, there is an error requesting that a PIN be entered. And at this stage, nothing more can be done to disable the WPS feature on the router. So, minus the listed issues; it is a good router but I think I am going to go with the NOC network option and hopefully there will be no feature holes or discrepancies.

The router has worked flawlessly since I began using it about 10 days ago.

The wi-fi speeds have been great and coverage in our house (approx. 2500 sq. ft.) has been no problem. Setup and install was very easy and quick.
Enoch Gerlach (verified owner) –
This router is giving me better coverage throughout my home, better speed, and better stability. Setup was straightforward and painless. The USB port is a nice additional feature for connecting a network drive. So overall, really happy with my new router.
Keaton Watsica (verified owner) –
I was disappointed that there were not complete setup instructions included in the box. Everything needed to be done online, and if I wasn’t an impatient amateur, I would’ve figured this out. Anyways, after I had help setting if up, it works great!

Bought this to replace my Spectrum-supplied router, which was not doing the job. I hooked up the Nighthawk in less than an hour and the thing screams. Good coverage over the whole house, full wifi speed that I payed for, and all devices hooked up with no problems. I should have got this months ago. Doh!

My last router kept disconecting and did not have range for a 2800sqft house. This one covers almost the whole home and I get so many more features. Best purchase yet. And I have 3 gaming systems running at the same time. Performance is great
Randall Oberbrunner (verified owner) –
I WFH and before getting this router Ethernet was required for my Remote Desktop. On a whim I tried a full day of work on wifi and had zero issues! Additionally, the range on this is INSANE! I can walk my dog along the canal in front of my apartment and still stream with no interruption.

Upgraded to gigabit internet service and added this router. Works very well and was easy to setup and install.
Yasmine Parker (verified owner) –
The router has no issues at all, set up was a breeze and best of all the connections (have 13 devices connected) are all stable and consistence in overall performance.
Jordyn Kshlerin (verified owner) –
Has a better download and upload speed than our previous router and covers a much greater area!

Great Christmas item faster than i thought it would be
Chauncey Sanford (verified owner) –
Hands down the best performing router I’ve ever installed. The APP makes it simple to have your network back up and running in minutes after upgrading your old router.

This router is handling everything thing thrown at it and then some. My whole house is wireless with over 30 devices and still able to handle multiple devices streaming and playing XBOX and Nintendo switches recommend to anyone like this bad boy meets and exceeded all my expectations A . Oh I forgot to mention the armor software and netgear app is absolutely amazing Thanks Net Gear

Nighthawk 5400 is amazing. This router has amazing reach. We live on a lake and our doc is about 125 feet from the house. Our WiFi reaches the dock so we can stream videos at night under moon light. Great product. Very impressed.

Purchased this as a replacement for a 6 year old router. Wow what a big difference and improvements on my existing ISP service. The router was pricey but I can say money well spent.
