The R7800 is not for the faint of heart. My meaning is that it will require some preparation and some reading. Certainly, plugging the router straight into the cable modem should work fairly well as a sort of plug-and-play device. Nevertheless, some set up will be required. Conversely, this is the superlatives advanced router that comes equipped with many advanced features that I will allow the reader to research all by themselves! I do like the on and off switch on the back! Finally, a device that one can turn off at will! For reasons that I cannot fathom, manufacturers of many varieties of in-home use Internet connected devices come without on off switch in capability. My Roku ultra device for example, has no on or off switch. I do believe this is entirely asinine! The perverted neurotic obsession to force consumers to keep devices switched on and running 24 hours per day 365 days per year is simply evil to say the very least. There is a clear intent here to undermine the ability of the consumer to control Internet connected devices. In fact, it is quite likely that net gear will probably remove the on and off switch for the back of this router perhaps for its next model release of this roter. I recommend connecting these devices to a power supply that you can easily turn off at will. Cheers and never surf the web without a safety net! In other words, a switch that will allow you to turn the damn thing off! Read full review

This is the second new unit I purchased, both have faults that cannot be resolved via Netgear’s troubleshooting techniques. I’m hoping the third time is the charm. The first one, after updating the firmware, would not allow changes, the second one, won’t allow internet on the 2.4Ghz wifi.

Was expecting to pay more for these kinds of specs - 4 Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports, 2 USB 3.0 and an eSATA ports for file sharing, and great range, but got it when it went on sale. eBay had a 20% off sale at the time, so it was a no-brainer (got it for $180). I bought this with recommendation from various Reddit posts and smallnetbuilder's ranker (https://www.smallnetbuilder.com/tools/rankers/router/view).

It was easy to set up and worked very well in the 2 story home it was installed in. No extensions need for WiFi . The old system, installed by the internet provider, was inadequate and serviced only about half of the 3200 sq ft, 2 story home. This one does an amazing job of allowing internet to be used in every room. Excellent product and well worth the price.

This product is amazing because it has an app called NETGEAR genie and it allows to see who is on my network and also it allows me to control the important vs the not really important flow of traffic. I used to have the wifi router from xfinity but I was only getting speeds of 90-130 mbs and now with this nighthawk x4s I'm getting a constant speed of 240 mbs never below 200 mbs. I would highly recommend for people that are paying for high speed networks.
