Netgear works again
By JasminBoss on Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2025
I got this as an upgrade to my refurbished Netgear RS7000 router which seemed to have trouble supporting my security camera. I was not able to get the camera to properly connect to the internet after a reset. Installation was easy once I found the button to add a new system to the Nighthawk app as the app seemed to try connecting to my old device. The WiFi signal strength was tested to very fast as I also upgraded my internet plan. Sometimes when flipping to pages on my phone the page briefly says offline but reconnects back quickly. Streaming movies was great with the 5G GHz WiFi while 2.4 GHz handles my other devices. So as long as there is connectivity I am happy.

Good but... nerfed by Netgear through their own app and the required account log-in
By Matt Howard on Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2025
My previous router was a Netgear AC1200 and I liked it. The Nighthawk AX5400 is not bad, but it's held down by Netgear insisting on the user creating an account that the router then can't log into (my experience). You get pushed to the app, which is not enough for advanced users for advanced settings such as port forwarding or reserved IPs. I just want a router that lets me log in without a hassle, change settings and save. I will be use this one for the time being, but I will seriously reconsider Netgear in the future unless they let go of some of these "features" and just let the customer manage their equipment. Keep the app for others, but don't force me to use it or the Netgear account log-in just to use MY ROUTER.
