installed over 5 years ago and still working perfectly

Speeds up my internet service. Provides Wi-Fi in my entire 3000sqft house and outside. Never glitches. And boots up quickly if the power ever goes out. Would buy it again if necessary.

Bought a new unit online. Unit did not work wirelessly. Contacted Netgear customer service and was told that the wireless controller chip in the unit was defective and was told that even though I bought a new unit but Netgear will not honor warranty on purchases from ebay which I was not aware of.

The tri band is great , you can split your smart plugs from your non 2.4 items. It offers great range of coverage.

While assisting a small business whom needed I chose this one. Its performance and security is great for all purpose use. Out of three different brands I chose this as the best.

The Nighthawk was very easy to set up and has increased the internet in our house exponentially. It meshed well with all of our TV's tablets, phones and gaming systems. Not only does it work really well, I think it's pretty cool looking!

This gives plenty of coverage for our 4000 sq. ft. home. Signals have good separation for those devices requiring 2.4G. Xifinity rocking at almost 1 gig!

My home Wi-Fi was a mess using the Breezeline supplied modem-router. No matter what steps I took, each time I attempted to fix various connection problems. Several devices just would not connect to the Wi-Fi network. The installation of my new Netgear nighthawk router fixed everything in a matter of minutes. All devices now connect throughout my house, no matter how distant they are from the router. I am truly impressed and grateful for the much improved performance of my home network. Thank you, Netgear.

The router is great and includes good security. My only issue is that I cannot get the parental control through Circle to work. Besides that, great router.

We got the Nighthawk X6S to replace a different Nighthawk router we used with our Spectrum modem. It was easy to setup as I already had the app installed and so far with all devices we are not having any WiFi issues anymore. Nothing to complain about. Though I will say it is helped by the fact we direct plugged my boyfriend's Xbox/pc into the modem. With multiple tv's going, phones, iPad's, laptops, oculus and a ps4 the WiFi signal has been top notch. Definitely recommended!

Cuts out during the middle of the day and won't come back online unless we restart router. It is failing a software update or something and so it stops providing WiFi and Ethernet when this happens. Been good for awhile, just now starting acting up a few months ago.

Very pleased so far with the router. Easy to set, easy to control, many options, good design. Pretty stable. Great speed. Stable operation. Nighthawk app. is big plus. Improvement from R6400 that I used prior R8000P.

It connects my room to the living room router. Has similar wifi speeds to the main router.

Finally, it's happening! With my new Night Hawk router, I have secured bandwidth and full control over who uses my WiFi. We really appreciate how simple it is to set up-just using the app without needing to go onto an IP address on a computer to manage settings. The app gives us the flexibility to monitor and control our network, even while away from home, which brings great peace of mind. Plus, there's no more lag during gaming sessions-no more drop time! It's a fantastic, user-friendly solution for our WiFi needs.

This router worked right out of the box but after a few days if failed and would not receive the internet signal. I'm sending it back and have ordered a new one. So I like the router but I don't appreciate the hassle to have to change it out. Hopefully the new one will work long term.

I have had this router since it came out. I have 36 devices on it and it hasn't ever let me down. I recommend this tri-band to everyone from GAMING to PRODUCTION works. The only problem I have is doing the firmware upgrade. Won't do it..

Setup is easy with the Nighthawk app, though the user interface could use a modern update!

We live in rural Northern Georgia, where the only available reliable high-speed Internet is through TMHI. THE netgear Nighthawk R8000P router works perfectly with the T-Mobile gateway. We have a dozen wifi devices connected at any given time, including two laptops, multiple printers, TVs and home devices, and we only experience weather-related outages. The Smart Wifi feature is especially helpful in automatically connecting our devices to the appropriate 2.4GHz or 5GHz port as necessary. We stream live TV and movies without annoying buffering. The Nighthawk is my fourth Netgear router, and I'm confident there will be a fifth.

No problems so far. Range is a bit less ample than what we were hoping for but good speeds overall.

This router is what I was looking for, it met all the expectations I had in terms of parental controls, speed, guest network, etc. I do recommend it!

Fast gateway router that's easy to setup with the best area coverage I've ever had. We now have WiFi reception over 100' out in the back yard where we never had signal from 3 or 4 previous routers.

While it took a bit and there was a waiting period, the used router that I purchased was cleared off of the previous owner's account and I was able to register it to my account. It took about 45 minutes on the phone, but everything that was discussed was followed through on and I appreciate that it was fairly painless to clear up my issue.

There is a know bug with assigning static IP addresses. This is at least a year and a half old, yet Netgear has not fixed it. Do not buy this router until there is a fix, as this indicates that they won't fix any know security problems either.

I have problems when I use the app to reboot the router that it resets everything. Kind of a pain to go put in the new router name and password over and over. And it hasn't done a firmware update in a long time.

We switched routers based on the sq ft coverage that was advertised on the Netgear. It has been so nice to be able to have a strong connection throughout the entire house.

Product is somewhat good..Cannot get the firmware to update and there are 50 forums online with the same problem. Called support amd could not get the help I needed without paying for a 100$ subscription to support their fedective software problem. Overall happy imwithbthis router over my old router. Will probably upgrade it in the next year if the firmware continues to be outdated.

My son bought this for me, as I could hardly get online in several places in my house with Xfinity modem. The minute he installed it - I was so excited! The minute I get online on my phone, TV and laptop I am online immediately - and in every room in my home! Thank you for a wonderful product!

Amazing
By Trevor M.
This is the best router I?ve ever purchased. We have a huge family and over 30 devices at a time on the internet. With this router the speed and connection are amazing and we can all stream, play games online, and other stuff easily! Would definitely recommend this router for a household of gamers!
Exceeds our expectations
By Cameron R.
I recently upgraded from a dual band to the tri band router. This exceeds expectations and covers our house very well without the need for a mesh system. We run multiple devices for streaming and gaming, as well as a smart home hub and security system. This thing is no slouch and is the real deal! I recommend for anyone looking to upgrade.
