Best router on the market in my opinion and the DumaOS only makes it a better buy.

The combination of the best hardware in the business (Netgear) and the best software (DumaOS) make this router a blessing for online gaming

The DumaOS is very intuitive, and I love being able to allocate bandwidth

I love the DumaOS and how I can customize my dashboard for monitoring, I love being able to see my network traffic easily in one place

DumaOS gives you confidence that your connection is the best it can be netgear/DumaOs

Best 2.4ghz speed I've ever experienced, and yes, the OS is pretty nice.

the OS is easy to navigate and set up, pretty much plugged it in, configured it and havent touched it since.

Love the duma os and how you can take advantage of all the features and amazing connection

I like the new OS and hope I won't regret going from a 1.8 quad to a dual 1.7ghz that's in this router.

It blows away a multiple AP setup

Initial setup was easy and once I hit the dashboard I saw it was controlled by HAL9000

However, the improvements I see are significant as noted below:- Setup: Very easy

So far the setup was fairly easy, got on wifi with no problems.

First up, setup was a breeze thanks to an easy to follow insert that came with

I recommend this router to all gamers trying to get a competitive edge and a consistent great gaming experience!

This Netgear Nighthawk Pro Gaming WiFi router is a lemon.

The xr500 simply delivers the best online gaming experience possible

This is the best gaming router in the market for better connection for online multiplayer gaming

If your looking for a powerful gaming router then look no further

and I love completely love the Dumas Gaming software on the router

The combination of the best hardware in the business (Netgear) and the best software (DumaOS) make this router a blessing for online gaming

The QOS Software is some of the most intuitive and cutting edge software for a router out there.

This particular one has the nicest network monitoring software I have seen to date

Duma OS is the most user-friendly software I've seen, but it's not just easy it's also advanced enough for the most technical minded

The features it has like (geo filter) are amazing since it limits you to join matches with low ping

If you’re looking for a great router with amazing features, you’ve found it!

The minute I booted the router, it wanted to perform a firmware update, and I figure "why not?" What I learned, after spending a few hours trying to determine why some of the features specified in the user manual weren't readily available, it that it appears Netgear would rather remove buggy features rather than address them with a fix.

Has reduced my lag and ping do to the Great features in the geo filter and bandwidth allocation

It does include a number of great features; they're just not all that easy to use

It even has a strong enough signal to reach the back of the house without a range extender

Every router we've used in the past had an issue providing a steady, strong signal to 2 specific locations - the most important was our master bedroom

PROS:-Great signal strength across our entire house (2400 sq

Range is very good (though nothing approaching my UniFi WAP) and throughput is decent even in places where the signal is marginal

The house is two stories and my previous router could not send a strong enough signal to the second story or far part of the house

Range is much greater than expected can still be connected on wifi with my phone about 50yards (minimal obstacles) away from router

Upgraded to 1 gig speeds and this router is just amazing, good range, gives me great mbps wired or wireless for gaming, looks really cool, also has many setting you can mess around and monitor who's using your router so if someone is trying to piggyback off your wifi that you do not know, you can just block them and they won't be able to use it anymore, overall best router I have ever owned

’s ability to automatically switch devices between the 2.4Ghz band (slower, but typically better range) and 5Ghz (faster and less prone to interference, but typically shorter range)

A had a Motorola sb6580, I used to have 4k streaming issues, my connection used to drop very often, and when I needed technical support from motorola they were not willing to help me without charging me(yes, 10 dollars to fix a problem with THEIR OWN firmware), so I was so fed up with the terrible quality from motorola I deviced to go with Netgear XR500, and its worth every single penny, Netgear offered me great support to set everything up, I no longer have connection issues, the connection range and stability from this router are freaking insane, I no longer have chronic lag issues when I play online games on my xbox, and this router offers plenty of of nice features such as the nice user friendly dashboard that makes it very simple and intuitive to set up, router looks very cool and after 3

First and most important is that the wireless range on this router is very good to excellent throughout my 3000 sq ft home on both the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands.

Ask yourself, have you ever had a wireless router where you had to reset it to factory defaults and enter your configuration after updating the firmware?Not a consumer friendly product and buggy

Would 100% recommend the product to anyone who is a gamer.

Overall this is an excellent product for the price and the ultimate router for those serious about gaming.

I would definitely recommend this product if your looking for a new router.

This is a superior device and would definitely recommend this product.

The interface is very simplistic but offers extensive details and options

I really love the DumaOS interface as it gives me the information I need rather easily

Setting it up was a bit of a hassel and the interface is odd once you get it set up, it is a bit overwhelming if your not very technically inclined but easy to get the hang of

Also, the interface seems way more sluggish than one would expect for a $300 router; for example, the System Information page takes a full seven seconds to fully render

The interface is great, easy to use and gives you a ton of information about your network, who's on it, how much band with they use

The router has excellent performance with a modular software interface made specifically for gamers

The performance of the Netgear Nighthawk router is awesome and the utilities that came with this router are great and useful.

This router has great performance and cuts out the lag spikes.

Ultimately, if performance is your top concern, you can't go wrong with the Nighthawk

You are also required to assign bandwidth speeds to devices which severely limits performance

I noticed a drastic speed increase and responsiveness both in gaming and streaming

This router not only improved my internet speed, but also made

I'd highly recommend this for really anyone looking to spend this much on a router, most ISPs can't give you the maximum speed of what modern high end routers can provide, but this gives great speed as well as having a great software that you'll notice more than the higher rated speeds.

All of my devices are now getting very fast speeds through both wired and wireless

So basically this turns what would be a great gaming router in to a paperweight because I can't even get a web page to load without timing out because of the slow speeds

This nighthawk gaming router is amazing and has a stable connection so far

The pages would load slow, the ping would spike, sometimes the connection would drop off for a couple minutes a day and absolutely ruin my gaming experience

We love this router, has improved our connection by far

There is absolutely no excuse for a router that costs this much money to lose connection to the internet

I love my new gaming router, I always have a great connection
