Great range!
I have had intermittent problems with communicating to my outdoor cameras. I originally bought this router to help solve that problem and extend my range. Unfortunately, I had just changed my Verizon blade for the so-called updated modem router. It could not communicate with this Netgear router. I eventually switched back to my old blade router and everything worked great. I now have my cameras connected to the Nighthawk and everything works great!

wide coverage
Installed a Netgear Nighthawk at the suggestion of my son. Signal strength has greatly improved in my 2300 sq ft house with basement. I especially like the firewalls that can be used between main accounts and guest networks where peripheral devices can be placed for added security. A powerful and easy-to-use router!

Good router
Nice router but the coverage range is not what is advertised. Signal loss is greater than expected when not that far from the router. But overall satisfied with operation.

Durable and Easy Setup
A helpful router with providing about 900 Mbps download and about 32 Mbps upload speeds to connect my devices to 2.4, 5, or 6 Ghz wifi networks depending on how many devices are connected to each one.

It's a great router. Easy set up, customization, updates, great for gaming. One thing that is a bit annoying is expensive optional

Great Router
Had the google pod pro wifi mesh network and it was consistently laggy on the wifi network. Spectrum speeds suck in general but this was bad. Bought this router and it’s been month with zero lag. 10/10

What a wonderful upgrade!
I upgraded to the Nighthawk Raxe500 from a mesh system - and so glad I did! I saw tremendous difference in speeds as soon as it was plugged in. I have recommended this to several already on such a easy way to get your internet speeds to what you're actually paying for!

Reliable Long Range Router
Bought this router to replace the TP-Link AX6000 which was very unreliable and had consistent connectivity issues. The RAXE500 has not let me down! No issues since my install! Smooth transition and the user interface has lots of options and amenities. The range is perfect for my home. Would definitely recommend this router if you're looking to upgrade or switch over to something reliable!

Netgear for the win!
This router is doing great! I got this router for my in-laws because the router provided by their internet provider wasn't doing that great of a job. They are extremely happy with it!

Good, But Not Great
Very easy to setup and install if you use the App. Could not get it to install correctly through a browser. Speed is fantastic and the quality of the product seems exceptional, however range is less than I would really like.

Nighthawk review
I have tried many brands of wifi routers and I can honestly say nothing has compared to netgear. This is my 6th upgrade and they keep getting better. For the price you pay you should always feel protected and have amazing speeds and with the RAXE500 it definitely doesn't let you down. Perfect for gaming, home security, home automation, laptops, desktops, cell phones and everything in between. Our home has so many wireless devices so keeping up with the speed, downloads and everything has always been our first goal and netgear has never let us down. Very easy to set up and with the nighthawk app its very convenient to see exactly what is on your network at any time and with thw security features its easy to shut down the wifi for the kids at bedtime. If you have never tried netgear especially the nighthawk, you definitely should give it a go because they will not let you down.

just satified
I replaced an older Netgear router, hoping to have a stronger wifi signal, and for the wifi signal to go farther thru my house. Since this router was saying it was good for 3000Sq ft. home, I bought the tri band nighthawk. It works ok, but my signal is the same as the older router I had. But I will keep it, and just call it a pricey replacement, I wont call it an upgrade since everything works the same as the older netgear that i have.
