Reviews around price (5.00 of 5)

  • The Netgear R7900 is one of the top two or three routers I've used, and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a high-end router at a fair price.
  • In sum, because of the great performance and price, I can highly recommend this router.
  • In many ways, it's probably more than most users need, but if you're the type that has lots of devices and a very fast Internet connection, the R7900 is a great way to get the most out of your network at a fairly reasonable price
  • No improvement in range vs. a cheap Cisco WiFi router that is 10 years older, 1/3 the price and 1/3 the size
  • I bought it for a decent price but should still last for much more than 6 months.

Reviews around signal (4.69 of 5)

  • Strong signal throughout my house, fast speeds and so far, very reliable.
  • Upgraded from a router that was several years old which had a weak signal on the second floor of my apartment.
  • router works very good throughout even having a brick house you get a good signal
  • The router is pretty much in the middle of the house, so I expected it to have a strong signal everywhere.
  • My old router was no longer giving good signal all through the house and I would get lag spikes all the time

Reviews around performance (4.33 of 5)

  • All looks and blah performance
  • Of course, most people don't use WiFi routers to go back and forth between computers on your own network...more likely you're going out to the Internet, and here you're most likely limited by the bandwidth of your Internet service more than any limitation on the R7900.The other part of this test involves adding more and more computers and seeing where performance starts to decline, and in this test, the R7900 really excels
  • In conclusion, there are a lot of things to like about the R7900, from it's easy setup to it's great performance and extensibility
  • I am using this router in place of my older trendnet ac1900 and loving the performance
  • The set up was fine and the performance was fine for about 11 months.

  • It's a little like a funky looking insect on the wall (if mounted) and you can't cover it or put it in a closet because that'll restrict coverage.
  • Got this in hopes of getting better coverage in my house
  • The router provides excellent wifi coverage to a very large home with 3 floors
  • I had spotty coverage prior that I tried to solve with repeaters and other tricks to no avail.
