Very please with the speed of this router and the easy setup.
The setup was easy and I have never had a router with such constant, intense connections.
Setup was easy out of the box and so far reliability has been excellent
It worked for 1 day after the frustrating setup, then it dropped all connectivity and broadcast, and then would continually cycle through some sort of reset.
I'm a bit confused though... apparently a lot of the reviews dinged this unit for poor setup software

I was told I'm out of my complimentary tech support and now have to pay
n’t have the radio issue but was getting BSoDs using their own USB-AC68 but that’s for another review.
Spent two hours on the phone with Netgear tech support and it was determined that this router was defective.
I call tech support and can't understand a word the guy is saying, between his accent and the extremely loud tech support lady that must have been sitting behind him

It is probably something I am doing wrong, but reverted back to old router as it is just easier.- Size: Without a doubt this is the biggest (2 - 3 times bigger) router I ever seen.
speed on all device(please check smart connect feature box
The most useful are the beam forming and the Smart Connect features
It was very easy to disable the "aggregate" feature and use all 6 Ethernet ports for other devices.
The router also did not work as it was supposed to: I just couldnt connect at all to the 2.4 GHz band (Netgear73)

At our house, we have 10 plus devices at any given time, wireless and wired and this router just pumps it all out with great performance.
Bad performance when it comes to storage, wan-to-lan throughput is worse than in the R7000
It is probably something I am doing wrong, but reverted back to old router as it is just easier.- Size: Without a doubt this is the biggest (2 - 3 times bigger) router I ever seen.
WiFi coverage is much improved as well as network performance for wireless devices.
The ambient temperatures I measured since I the router began operation has never exceeded 79ºF; right now it's 78ºF.Because of this, the router reliability is likely marginal, maybe because of bad thermal design

Keeps up with a PS4 and PS4 Pro running simultaneously as well as with many other devices
The router also did not work as it was supposed to: I just couldnt connect at all to the 2.4 GHz band (Netgear73)
Overall, I really wanted this product to work as it was impressive while it did work

and I've come to expect a really nice software experience with everything I use
Having had a good experience with NETGEAR products, I decided to purchase the AC5300, as we stream more video and use gaming consoles more than we did in the past.
I'm surprised because my previous experience with Netgear has been good, but if this can't be fixed, it's going back.
Like I said in the title, I hope you have a great experience with this router.
Bad experience with competitor products but found success in the X8

They missed the callback by two hours and left a phone number for "back door" access, which of course was a 45 minute wait to be told there was no one available to help.
This is a solid B in this category
There were a ridiculous number of clicks to find the phone number
Once I got back online, I looked for a service phone number and could not find one.

I'm still not sure whether the new version of firmware (which, as Netgear indicated did not create any problems with Windows 10) will resolve the bad config issue I've had, but at least the hardware problem is fixed.
I might increase the rating to 4 stars if this issue ever gets fixed reliably
Netgear had no clear fix other than to return the product
My issue mentioned in the review below was finally fixed and I no longer have to rely on an unreleased version of the firmware
I might end up returning it if this problem can not be fixed
