Works Well, Easy Setup, Solid WIFI Connection, A Good Value
I set up my internet connection at my new apartment and wanted a router that would just work. I decided that a separate modem and router combination was better than getting an all-in-one gateway based on my research. I have COMCAST/XFINITY service and in conjunction with the ARRIS SURFboard SB6183 Modem I paired with it I have stable WIFI in my apartment. Setup was easy using the web interface via WIFI. There is a basic menu and an advanced menu for getting things configured. It receives the internet signal from my modem automatically. All I had to do was to change the admin password (you must do this), name the 2 networks (2.4GHz and 5GHz) and set the security keys aka wifi passwords. I did upgrade the firmware using the built in firmware update checker/updater and now I'm current. It's optional but you can download a WIFI utilty app to your phone and check which channels have the least amount of traffic where you live and set your 2.4 and 5GHz frequencies to use those channels. That was easy to do using the web interface.Both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies work with my computer and phone. I have a Brother laser printer also hooked up via WIFI and there's no problem printing from my laptop or phone. This router is probably best for a one or two bedroom apartment and if you have a house you'll probably want something a little more powerful/faster, but for myself it's perfect. I haven't had any problems connecting or maintaining a connection after a month straight of use. I only get 25Mbps download from my ISP which is about 3MBps (big "B" or Bytes) and I get max 3.5 MBps on certain downloads so the router can handle that no problem. So along with the ARRIS modem this Netgear WIFI router does its job quietly and I can enjoy wireless internet with no problems. There is a USB slot in the back for using a USB memory stick as a sort of network drive, but I haven't tried that yet. But nice to know I could if I wanted.

What the instructions don't say! After downloading app Turn off 4glt, turn on WIFI on the phone.
Once up and running it works really well and I would recommend this router. I use it for gaming (Ethernet connection) and watching stream content via WIFI ( Netflix etc.)The instructions are simple except for one key issue they don't mention. You download the Night Hawk app on to your phone to set up the unit. So I turn on my 4glt on my phone and download the app. All is well until you the app tries to connect to the internet via the WIFI. I kept getting "no internet connection" continuously. Thought something was wrong with my cable modem. Not the cable Modem. So after dis-connecting and reconnecting the WIFI router a few times, I decided to TURN OFF THE 4GLT ON MY PHONE, and just have the WIFI on in my phone.PRESTO! internet connection via WIFI to cable router.Big fail on the part of Net Gear for not mentioning that small detail.P.S. you are SOL after 3 month of registering your product for tech support. You get a one year warranty but nearly impossible to make a claim after the 3 months if you don't buy the extended support contract. They give you a phone number that I stayed on hold for 56 minutes until I got fed up and contacted Amazon. The Amazon rep sent me a return sticker to my account and shipped me a new unit in less than 5 days. Amazing! Here's to not attempting an update and have a power outage at the same time after the 3 month tech support has expired.

Great router, but make sure you buy the right model
Make sure you know what you are buying. There is a difference between transfer speeds between devices and Internet speed capabilities. I upgraded from model R6120 (AC1200) to the R6260 (AC 1600) because my Internet speed is about to increase from 100 MB to 200 MB. While the transfer speeds of all the 6120 are more than 100 MB, the Internet port on it is 10/100. That means that it caps at 100 MB, so you will never see anything faster than that in Internet speed. Transfers among devices may come in above that but your Internet will never be faster than 100 MB. The 6260 is a Gigabit router with a 10/100/1000 Internet port, which means it supports up to Gigabit speeds. My speed before always capped out around 90 MB but switching to the 6260 puts me slightly over 100 MB (I still have the 100 speed). Initial speed test stars around 200 MB and falls back to 105 so I know this device will handle my new speed. If your Internet speed is above 100 MB, make sure you buy a Gigabit (10/100/1000) router or else you will never see past 100 MB. The AC1600 is a Gigabit router, the AC 1200 is not. That being said, the 1600 puts out a stronger signal than the 1200. The 1600 model covers 1600 sq ft while the 1200 covers 1200 sq ft. The 1600 is also larger than the 1200. Buy according to your Internet speed and coverage area. Also, regarding frequencies, 2.4ghz maxes out at 300 MB but has a longer range. The 5ghz reaches the 1300 MB but the signal doesn't travel as far. The 300 + 1300 is how the arrive at 1600 but it is actually max 1300 MB.
