What customers say about "Key Specs"
NETGEAR Nighthawk (R7000) AC1900 Wireless Speed (up to 1900 Mbps)
- The Netgear does the job I bought it for and I am happy with the speeds I get when multiple devices are connected.
- Bought to replace a Netgear D6200, the setup was a breeze, and I'm seeing considerably faster speeds on both 2.4 and 5 GHz bands, as well as longer range.
- Wireless speeds are impressive and gaming on my PS4/PC is lag free and no NAT issues either.
- I managed to stream a Youtube video seamlessly at the end of the garden and on my wireless AC-enabled tablet I get aspeedtest download speed of over 60Mbps!
- Outstanding speed, i am impressed!
NETGEAR (R8000-100UKS) Smart Wi-Fi Router
- I now get full internet bandwidth, or close to, on mobile devices, and the stability is absolutely rock solid.
- With the new R8000 and the PS4 connected via 5Ghz I am getting a consistent download speed of 67Mbps.
- Streaming is a dream! I can happily game in one room, whilst HD films are being streamed in multiple others with no buffering.
- I would happily recommend this to anyone wanting a high end router with great performance.
- The speed this thing connects is amazing. I am really happy!

What customers say about "Network"
NETGEAR Nighthawk (R7000) AC1900 Wireless Speed (up to 1900 Mbps)
- Great router - very robust with superb wireless coverage.
- The Nighthawk is extremely well made and is providing very good wireless coverage!
- The QoS system manages perfectly in between where streaming sites or video viewing sites are used.
- Easy to set up, fast, great range and looks like something the US millitary have been hiding at Area 51.
- The range of the router is okay (but definitely not great). Is it worth the money? Not really.
NETGEAR (R8000-100UKS) Smart Wi-Fi Router
- The antennas are easy to open up and it's straight forward plugging it in.
- This is a superb router. Multiple fast wireless channels and six antennae to reach all corners of a very large house.
- The unit itself is sleek and looks quite modern with easy to see indicator lights, it also comes with 6 fold out antennas to help maximise range. Good design and decent range!
- The range is surprisingly much lower than I expected.
- Unbelievably the BT hub provided a stronger signal than the nighthawk even though it’s got 6 antennas sticking out of it.

What customers say about "Security"
NETGEAR Nighthawk (R7000) AC1900 Wireless Speed (up to 1900 Mbps)
- Placement of router is key! The extra features are great too, qos, parental control all work really well.
- There are a few nice features, such as QoS, the parental controls and the USB port for device sharing. Works well!
- Easy set up; excellent parental controls, recommended!
- The only real downside so far is that live parental controls are a bit clunky in use.
- I bought Netgear R7000 solely for the parental control features. Unfortunetly these features are easily disabled by pressing the reset button at the back of the router, no password is required.
NETGEAR (R8000-100UKS) Smart Wi-Fi Router
- The VPN service is pretty wonderful, not too tricky to set up and gives a bit of piece of mind when using public hotspots out and about.
- The VPN function is really useful and it is quite pricey but so far, so good.
- Amazing router with with useful features, the VPN works great, and I would recommend this router highly.
- A bunch of security features such as VPN support, being able to separate secure and guest network access, SPI & NAT firewall protection and preventing Denial-of-Service (DOS) attacks. Decent router!
- Minus for me is the VPN capabillities. It only support up to 4-5 connections and the auto config file export does not work for me.
