NETGEAR Nighthawk Smart WiFi Router (RS400) - AC2300 Wireless Speed (up to 2300 Mbps) | Up to 2000 sq ft Coverage & 35 Devices | 4 x 1G Ethernet and 2 USB Ports | Includes 3 Years of Armor Security

I had a 10-year old router that this Netgear router replaced. The old router, max, could do 750 Mbps. With an internet package with speed up to 100 Mbps and with the old router, I was getting no greater than 95 Mbps down and often slower. Upgrading to this router plus choosing an alternate DNS server, with same internet package, I am getting speeds of up to 120 Mbps across all my devices (except a tablet, which is slow anyway). Speedy! Setup was okay. The app did help get me going when my desktop was down during the switch, but then I found it easier to configure everything on my desktop, in the router software, once I got my desktop computer connected. Setup time was about the same as most routers. It wasn't without some frustrations. But now that it is all set up, I'm super excited about it! Really slick looking design too!

I recently purchased the RS400 for my new home and I am very happy with it. The setup was easy and everything was up and running in just a few minutes. The mobile app works really well and allows me to see what is happening on my network when I am away. The range is really good too and covers the whole house with no problem. Highly recommended!

This is a great looking router that has great performance capability, convenient mobile app, and 3 years of Armor Security. You can set up everything easily with smartphone once you download the Nighthawk app and scan your router's QR code and it will register for you. You can allow and block network access, change password, do parental control, check internet speed, manage devices on the Wifi, change security setting, and so much more with your smartphone. This app allows remote connection so even if your smartphone is not connected to your router's Wifi, you can control your routers hundreds miles away. Before I purchase this router, I saw the review on this product in regards to the issue with Armor Security that blocks access to many websites. I don't have this issue. I don't know why that reviewer is having that problem but obviously he/she must have done something wrong or tried to access some illegal web maybe. One possible downside is that the status LED light on this router is EXTREMELY BRIGHT. If you allow all the status lights on, you might have a problem sleeping in your room if you're sensitive to bright lights. But you can turn the status lights off by logging into netgear.com. The power status light won't turn off but all the other lights will be turned off which is so much better. But if you turn status lights off, you obviously won't be able to see the internet status just by looking at the light. Yes. It is bit pricey but overall I'm very satisfied with this product as this is performing very well ever since I purchased this and installed it and had zero issues with it so far. I think this is a good investment for your optimized internet & gaming experience.

I purchased the Nighthawk AC2300 Cybersecurity WiFi Router based on performance claims, price and product reviews. A primary need was to expand the number of square feet the router would support. Our home is 1,760 sq ft and the Nighthawk AC2300 claimed up to 2,000 sq ft. The unit also came with 3 years of free Armor cyber-security, which by the way has already blocked numerous malware attempts. The Nighthawk router has met all my needs and the price thru Amazon was very competitive. One final point when you download the Nighthawk application to your cellphone, you have enhanced control over the router, who can use it including one-time guests and the ability to monitor unit performance. I am very satisfied by the product and have recommended it to my friends.

We've had this unit for almost a year now. I replaced our outdated router with this one so I could get 1Gb ports (since we have 200Mb+ internet) and faster wifi. It was very easy to set up, and the included app allows you to manage it through your phone. I was surprised at how good the wifi signal was, figuring I'd need a repeater for the farther away downstairs rooms, but not the case. The wifi is typically in the 50Mbps range, and the wired ethernet is indeed 1Gbps. Would definitely buy this again.

I was using Netgear products for awhile now, that is when the time came to change my router i decided to buy this RS400. What a mistake and what a disappointment! 1. I received and email from Netgear to update FW to the latest release. 2. Since App remote management is disabled (safety first!) i went to do it all "by hands" -such as downloaded new FW, unzipped it and tried to install using my browser 3. no luck, i still have old revision 4. get to chat with support. they told me i had to reset router for 15 seconds (was not mentioned in the UM). 5. OK, i kept reset for 20 seconds 6. router came back with old FW 7. chat again. the same reset power down power up 8. the same result 9. Call technical support waited 20 min - the router i have requires a special group 10. waiting for 25 minutes for this technical group on the phone, and still no answer! what a company Netgear became! what a shame! Update; FINALLY: after almost four hours the problem was solved! i was lucky to get connected to Rich. He is located in Phillippinnes. This is the best tech-support person I talked to from Netgear! thank you Rich! I don't know what I will do if there is another problem with the router! another 4 hours to fix it? Anyway, thank you Rich! Yesterday, my Roku had stopped communicating with router on 2.4MHz band, as well as my iphone7. I had to switch to WiFi *-5G band! and the Netgear as a company does not pay any attention after my 90 days had expired. not that they have during 90 days

I enjoy my nighthawk router because it’s fast. It provides me with updates of what is going on with my router. I enjoy the fact that I do not have to use the router of the internet provider. I can look at my app and see how many devices are using my router and control them. It helps out a ton especially for those whom WFH.

Router was delivered right on time, great seller. The router works great after you get it installed. UNFORTUNATELY: >>> It came with zero instructions, only a link that didn't work to an app for a smart phone. I had to dig thru massive Google Research to finally find the manual and instructions on the Netgear website. You absolutely can not install this device without those instructions. Why they are not included, or at least linked, is inexcusable stupidity on Netgear's part. I've purchased many Netgear devices in the past, all worked as advertised. But, whoever is running the router business now needs to be fired; and take all his "Kiddie Parade," helpers with him. As they are completely out of touch with reality when it comes to customer supplied data and support. Which does not exisit. I'm a licensed professional electrical engineer with massive experience in leading edge technologies in Computers, and telecommunications. And, this stressed me to the limits making it work. I do not recommend this product unless you have and electrical engineer experienced with telecom and computers available to help you install it. Because, you will just be returning it for whatever refund Amazon will allow you to have. Just a disgraceful, awful marketed, and packaged product: I do not recommend unless you have expert professional help.
