    Our speeds and connection quality improved immediately after making the switch from the Xfinity gateway. Disappointed I didn’t switch sooner. 20 devices connecting has been no problem for this thing. Great router.

    Nighthawk Rules

    I had dead spots with the provider provided modem WiFi. Upon using the very easy installation of my new Nighthawk my dead spots are now history. I have fast strong WiFi throughout my house and get no buffering either. The best part is I own it and do not have to pay rental fees for poor equipment that gave poor substandard WiFi. This Nighthawk Rules!!

    I had dead spots with provider modem WiFi. Instantly upon the easy install of my Nighthawk I have clear strong WiFi throughout my house with no dead spots and no buffering. So happy with the performance of this device and best of all I own it and not paying provider rental fees that kept going up for terrible service. The Nighthawk Rules!!

    This is the best piece of tech I have bought in quite some time. Once connected I instantly saw an improvement in my WiFi connection. It really showed how crappy my cable providers router was. I encourage anyone who is able to buy this router to do it. Is well worth the money and the support team has been excellent. I don’t usually give reviews very often so this is really saying something

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s only 1 week with this new router n so far it’s been great. To have ur Ring devices on 2.4g n everything else on 5g has made life easier with setup n separation. I’m giving it 1 month to really see if I really love it.

    I've strayed, getting a router from a different brand when my Nighthawk 7000 reached its end of life. Long story short, I kept getting dropped connections and IP conflicts. The other brand was returned, and I upgraded to the newer Nighthawk. It has one job, and it does it well.

    Our previous router kept disconnecting from the internet. This one covers the whole property and works steadily. Also, the price was not bad at all.
