There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I still have things to work out. I will edit this after I settle in and refine settings. I still need to "talk" to our Oki C5500n printer. If this Netgear unit stays stable, I'm a very happy consumer (that somehow sounds inadequate).
Edit, the morning after:
Things are still as they were yesterday evening. I also realized a list of connected devices could be helpful. ISP is Comcast (ouch, I would change this If I could), There is 1 desktop, 1 laptop, 1 Blu-Ray, 1 DirecTV, 1 network printer, 2 Android Smartphones, 3 Android tablets and 2 'smart switches'. The Android devices and laptop connect via Wifi, the remainder via LAN.
Net diagram:
2nd floor: ISP-> Modem - > router - > 10 port Netgear switch - > PC, printer, Synology NAS -> LAN Cat 5e, length 50 ' to 1st floor
1st floor: 5 port NetGear switch - > Blu-Ray, DirecTV. The Belkin Extender was here, it is no longer necessary.
Note: all LAN cables are Cat 5e, either 1 or 2 meter except the run to the 1st floor.
I will update this as the story continues.
Edit 3/8:
The issue I was experiencing with printing wound up being a windows (Win 7 home Premium, 64 bit) driver problemm - and me messing up the IP addressing in my printer. A quick and simple fix, funny thing about aging, the conceit of youth becomes much less important. Monday I will address the remaining network issue - reconfiguring my Synology NAS. Signal strength and network stability are still great - actually amazing. I only wish this was the router I started with. I expect Monday to be a long day. I will make a final edit later in the week. If everything continues similarly, there will bea glowing edit to finalize this review (provided my fingers actually do what I think they are doing..) :-)
NetGear has done well.
NOTE WELL: The firmware update is very important as it addresses the reported negative issues discussed by some purchasers. The router performed the setup AND suggested the firmware update. It requires you to confirm the update by clicking on the appropriate flags. It takes maybe 2 minutes to do.
Edit March 26,2014
This router is still flying along, to the point of I almost feel guilty that I don't have to fuss over my home network. To be perfectly clear,
this is the router I should have started with! I highly recommend this unit. You get what you pay for and this was SO worth the investment. Thank you NetGear!
Edit December 15, 2014
Wow, where has the time gone. This router keeps providing wonderful connectivity. When the time comes, I will be pirating another NetGear product. It remains stable and continues reliable performance. I highly recommend this product

Like a lot of the reviewers here, most of us seem to be coming from either older routers or replacing Asus routers (at an alarming rate I might add from what I have been reading.)
Like a lot of you, I am ALSO replacing an ASUS Router I have had for about a year now. It's not that I wasn't okay with the Asus router I just needed more from the router!
I live on the East Coast and I have a tri-tiered house and getting a signal to the basement has been a challenge. I ended up having to put in a powerline Network (el-sucko when it comes to speed) and wanted to improve that throughput several times over. I also have, at times 3 kids who LOVE (and I mean LOVE) videos and online gaming over a wireless connection. I needed a router that could keep up and going from a single core CPU router to a dual core with TWICE the throughput sounded like what I needed as my house has the following (all talking to my router):
- 4 Roku's (HD)
- 4-6 phones
- 6 tablets
- 4 DVR's
- 4 TV's (wireless and LAN)
- 4 Blu Ray players (firmware updates)
- 2 Surround Sound systems (firmware updates)
- 2 gaming systems (if you have teenagers, you have gaming systems): 1 - XBOX 360 and One PS3. Both wirless connections.
- 3-4 laptops (depends on which kids happen to be home)
- 1 Desktop machine (mine, multiple NIC's and active connections)
... and I believe a Partridge in a pear tree (up in the attic!)
Bottom line... I have a hell of a lot of things that have to talk to the router who are constantly chewing data. I needed more and I needed more fast!
For me to purchase a new Netgear router took A LOT! I have been VERY disappointed with Netgears offerings as of late as prior to my Asus router purchase I had Netgears 'other' TOTL router, the R6250 Smart WiFi Router. That router was so bad, I had to take it back to the store once AND had to return the router to Netgear once (so x2 total) because it kept dropping connections and rebooting... all on its own. I had (up until that point) never had a router perform that bad. It blew...
That said, it looks like Netgear has FINALLY listened to me! I wanted router that had a dual core processor and could cover my ENTIRE house or at least "talk" to my access point consistently without 'losing the connection' every time the wind blew.
I do want to say upfront, I did look at the new Asus "super router" which also sports a dual core processor but I read a few reviews over on Newegg and it just doesn't seem like it's as good as what Netgear is offering (I know... mind blown also!) - [...] - so I decided to give this spaceship a try.
I bought this from my local Best Buy store as if it sucked I wanted to be able to take it back and not have to mess with the shipping.
Like a lot of people state here this router is twice the size of any router out there (but looks really cool!). I honestly like it better since the cooling of the router seems to be much better especially when we're cranking multiple video streams to multiple devices throughout my house. I can also tell you that after getting it hooked up and set up on the 'inter-tubes' I've noticed that even my wired LAN speed seems to be much smoother (not necessarily faster but smoother) than it was on my top-tier Asus router.
Setup of this device was ridiculously easy. Actually easier than most other routers that I've set up over the years. I changed a IP addressing range and subnet, change the password, plug it in, and off I went.
So far this has been an absolute pleasure to work with! That said I'll see how it is in a couple of weeks but the smoothness of this router and the wireless speed I now get throughout the house is better than anything I'd had before.
I'm not getting rid of my Asus router just yet. What I'm going to do is actually use it as an AP point in the basement after purchasing some very large antenna extenders so that I can get rid of the powerline adapter that I have down there. I believe any kind of wireless connection is going to be 10 times faster than the powerline adapter that I have down there right now.
The only word of caution I have for Netgear is don't screw up the firmware updates! Netgear has a tendency of putting out updates that actually cause the router to become unstable over a period of time. I just want any Netgear folks who happen to be reading this review to 'take note' of that. You put out a really nice product, probably the best product you have put out in several years... Don't screw it up!
Again, if you're looking for a router that can handle all the devices that you have in your house especially when it comes to mobile and video you need to pull out your Visa and get this baby in your home. Going to Best Buy and purchasing a $30 router and then hooking up 20 to 30 devices to it just doesn't cut it.
So far... A pleasure.
If you're in the market for a new router or you just need more than your current router can provide, so far, I have to recommend this router. I'm actually stunned it's this good.
Top reviews from other countries
Bad form! After I buy the product, get out of the way and let me use it.
But then I discovered FRESHTOMATO opensource router firmware. It's free, easy to install, and has a clear and easy interface. Now this router is awesome! In fact, the nighthawk r7000 (and r8000) are among the recommended routers for freshtomato. Since I flashed the firmware, the router has a ton of new features including the ability to run multiple VPNs, a long list of DDNS clients, Access Control (limited the amount of time that the kids can be connected to the internet), NAS support, and even a built in torrent app.
Tras leer varios reviews en internet, me decidi ir por este por lo que ofrecia y no creo haberme equivocado en la decision. Se necesita tener un conocimiento basico de redes para hacer el setup del router, pero no es nada que con una investigacion en google de 10/15 minutos no resuelva. La aplicacion del celular es sencilla y cuenta con muchas de las funciones que necesitas. El interfaz de la computadora es un poco mas complicado pero ofrece muchos ajustes, como la posibilidad de tener una red de invitados, tener QoS y restringir el acceso a otros dispositivos. Tambien tiene control parental pero ese no tuve la oportunidad de probar. El router tiene las dos bandas 2.4 y 5 GHz y junto con el MUMIMO dan una experiencia de internet muy buena. Los streams cargan casi instantaneamente y los juegos rara vez se lagean. Definitivamente una muy buena compra.
My next step is to try replacing the firmware with OpenWRT, dd-wrt, Tomato, or maybe even see if I can get OpenBSD running with pf acting as a firewall. This device has some serious hardware in it, and hopefully a third-party firmware will let me get the functionality I had expected out of the box. Or perhaps Netgear will release another firmware update that solves these issues.
Regardless, I still give it four stars since it's a solid product as long as you don't try to use many of the advanced features.
