Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Router - Bad Price the router has been without error so far. easy to configure. lots of "extras" to manipulate beyond the basic router. the price is very high, i would not have purchased without the free credit from dell for purchase of another item.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Something off So far most things seem good, though it feels as if it’s limiting my connection more. I can’t be completely sure but I seem to be stuck at about 60mbps download compared to the 1gbps I pay for. I knew I wouldn’t get a full gig but 80 seems really low and I wasn’t getting that much of a loss with my old router.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent!! I’m an xfinity customer and was having High latency, packet burst, trash ping while online gaming. With 4 adults and just about all electronic devices being on wifi at any given time I needed a boost. I purchased the netgear gaming router and from the moment it was connected Oh man! What a difference! Now the only problem is I can’t blame the bad internet speed for my trash gaming! I must come to terms with the fact that I’m a trash gamer lol…maybe the router should come with a disclaimer *warning using this device may reveal that you’re a bad gamer.

My connection is stable, steady and I love the UI for managing connections to my network and partitioning for guests (only close friends get on the actual!.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Router! Simple to setup if you use the app. After getting this router setup, "Speedtest" shows a jump from 200ish MBPS to over 400MBPS. I could tell my downloads were faster when I was installing Xbox Gamepass games and Windows/Android updates. Would highly recommend for a gaming room or a family with multiple people who stream videos.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Game changing I am a competitive gamer. So naturally I want to be performing at my best consistently. I have the fastest internet package and upgraded to the best modem/router my internet provider offered. Although their equipment was their top of the line gear, I rarely had back to back matches with a good connection. I tried upgrading and replacing everything I could to help me with secure a reliable connection. Once I hooked up my nighthawk XR500 with Duma’s geo-filter, I realized this was the missing link I was looking for. My gameplay drastically improved because I had a reliable, stable connection with low ping, zero packet loss, and no lag spikes. The software to customize my connection specifications was easy to use and very user friendly. I wish I had upgraded my modem and router years ago. I have already recommended this product to my friends and 10/10 would recommend this product to anyone wanting a competitive edge in online multi-player games. This is a must buy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Gaming Router After watching several reviews of different gaming routers, I settled on the Netgear RX500. I used to have a NetDuma router but it was only 100 megabit so I just used a router from my ISP. The Netgear router that I bought has NetDumaOS on it, so it seemed like the perfect solution. It was extremely easy to set up and the interface is very user friendly. I would recommend this to anyone wanting a gaming router with versatility. Thanks!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from NETGEAR Nighthawk Pro Gaming XR500 * Defective This router was purchased as NEW but appeared to have been used as there were signs of scuffs and the QR Code was missing.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from NETGEAR Nighthawk Gaming Router XR500 The first thing that struck me about this router when a removed it from the box, is that it is huge. Upon further inspection, I found it's huge size is unnecessary. It could be at least 20-30% smaller. Not only is it huge, there is no way to mount it on a wall. I had to make my own brackets to do so. Plugging in USB devices are very cumbersome because of the excess size of it leaving the ports deep inside the case. The same can be said about the two outer antennas. It took me several attempts at setting it up because it kept giving me a an webpage error after trying to set a password and had to reset it to factory defaults no less than 3 times. I'm no stranger in setting up routers. I've been setting them up since I got my first one about 20 years ago. Once it was setup I do like the Dashboard and I love the Network Map feature. However the UI is a bit sluggish as a whole. It has no way to group MAC addresses together to disable them if necessary like some of their other routers do. Once again the choices for DDNS service providers are exceptionally weak. You have to be careful with the Geo-Filter as you can narrow it so much, you will not be able to connect to your favorite games at all. The Ping Heatmap has a very limited amount of online games you can use. What's strange is in the Geo-Filter I can select Overwatch, but in the Ping Heatmap, it's not even listed. So I don't know how that is supposed to work. Overall it's an ok router. I'm not that impressed by it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Really fast for gaming The Netgear Pro Gaming XR500 WiFi Router has a custom operating system on it unlike any other type of gaming router. It features the OS called DumaOS. My XR500 upgraded quickly to DumaOS 3 ( the newest upgrade. My kids are impressed with how much the online games have improved because with the previous router, there was really bad, slow lag. The XR500 removed all of the gaming lag on the same 150mbps internet connection that used to have slow gaming lag. I recommend this WiFi router to any gamer or movie streaming person.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Starlink Gaming Got this router because the one that came with my starlink internet was not having a consistent signal and would often times have an extremely high ping when playing any games. Now that I have the nighthawk I can run two hard wired connections without issues and the wifi is just as fast as the wired connection with no connection issues. If you're looking to replace your router that came with starlink internet or just need a good router I would definitely recommend the nighthawk.

I've always heard good things about Netgear products and wanted to save some money on my ISP bills while gaining a boost in QoS services for what i was spending. i wish i would of switched sooner! the quality for price is right on par, and power is unreal.

It covers the whole house as well as the lawn and allows for all of my devices to be on at once and working in full capacity. I would 100% recommend this router or any of the NightHawks if you need a new and reliable internet spot in your home.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing upgrade I purchased this to replace my Nighthawk X6. I really like the dashboard with Duma. It gives me so much more information than the typical admin privilege the X6 had. Interestingly enough, I am getting almost 100 MB's faster speeds with this than the X6 as well. My house is full of streaming and connected devices. Because of this, I've lost all flickering in my Arlo Camera system, zero lag with my thermostat, all devices connected never lag or even buffer. I paired this with the Nighthawk Gaming Switch and it was well worth the price!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent speed and reliability We went from an R6300 to this model and immediately experienced a jump in speed of connection and lack of interruption. The newly designed router control panel provides at-a-glance ease of use and customization is nearly instantaneous. Having "Smart Connect" blended-band wireless was really attractive, but unfortunately our smart outlets require a distinct 2.4 band; we'd be taking advantage of it otherwise. Strong signal throughout the house and nearby area, and it's been able to handle everything we've thrown at it so far without issue.

After talking to their service department, they told me I had a really old router. After researching & reading reviews I purchased this. I plan to return to online gaming when I retire in a couple of months & that requires some speed without interruptions. This router does the job.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Dummy Proof Technology Routers have sure come a long way. I knew that I needed to replace my old router but I kept putting it off because replacing old technology is usually a time consuming hassle for me. I usually wind up having to call tech support and getting frustrated talking to people that I don't understand. Not so with the Netgear Nighthawk Pro. This thing was so easy to set up, even for a tech dummy like me. I would highly recommend this router to anyone that needs to replace an old one or even if it's your very first router. Trust me, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Don't buy cheap, do it right the first time with the Netgear Nighthawk Pro.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Advanced and Intuitive Finally broke down and replaced my (severely) outdated router with this guy, and yes I said guy, because this router has no curves or elegance to speak of. But that's ok, because what it lacks in beauty, oh man, does it make up in performance. As said in many other reviews, this unit is very simple to set up, very intuitive (especially if you take the 3 minutes it requires to click through the interactive tutorial) and does exactly what it claims to do. I am very satisfied with my purchase, and now with this eye-poker of a router (literally, I tossed this at my brother and he quite ungracefully poke his eye) we no longer have any issues with bandwidth allocation or latency that was warranted by our previous router. And that's to take in account 2 console gamers, 1 PC gamer, and altogether 4 streamers to include 4K and HDR. 10/10

I was having issues when my son when be home from college on weekends and his use of the internet would kill our big screen Netflix streaming. Now with QoS of the router we all play nice with each other. I also used the GEO-Filtering for his console gaming and he says gaming has gotten a ton better with no lag. So we are now a happy family. Do make sure to get latest update as it makes all port invisible in port scans which is good to keep hackers away.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Blazing fast and easy set up Really enjoying this new router. Was very easy to set up and start using. Really enjoy the user interface. My only challenge was identifying initial restricted bandwidth on my gigabit connection. Seems the QoS protocols are activated by default on new routers and once I shut it off, I see 500 Mb/s symmetrical in adjacent rooms (the range on the XR500 is awesome!

Once I hooked up this sleek and futuristic looking router, I got the fastest speeds with my internet provider as I possibly could. I like having a priority setting on the router so I can get priority on my main gaming devices without any drops in speed. I recommend this for anyone who had multiple gaming devices.

While I haven't gamed with it yet, it screams my internet connection wirelessly when streaming HD and 4K video. I've not experienced any lags, stuttering or long buffers. Everything connects very fast. Blows my previous 802.11ac router out of the water. I didn't even have to setup separate 2.4 or 5 ghz networks as the automatic connections it makes works extremely well. Stable and fast, what more could you want.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great router, but be careful Works like a champ. Let's you control devices with the standard user interface it comes with (no more tedious MAC address filtering. Be careful with the QoS, you can accidentally filter all your non-gaming devices to almost no bandwidth if you get too zealous. Lastly, put your Xbox one on energy saving (vs instant on), as it can cause your cable modem to drop your internet and require frequent reset (charter in my case). Haven't quite figured out why, but guessing it could be related to the frequent and excessive calls from the router to refresh the DHCP lease with Xbox '˜instant on' active.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nighthaws XR500 Bought this router about 8 months ago. We have 2 Smart TV's, 2 xbox one, multiple cell phones and tablets. We have just used it on it's smart hub setting where it constantly configures which band each device should be using and haven't had any issues. We have been able to use both xbox's playing online as well as stream netflix with out issue and we only have the basic internet speed from our provider. I am just now going to play with setting it up to put specific devices on certain frequencies to see how that works out. The cloud interface as well as the app are very user friendly. I use to be a linksys user, but NETGEAR in my opinion has taken over the user friendliness area of routers and switches.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The best gaming router out there One of the best moments during the SXSW Gaming convention was that I won a Nighthawk Pro Gaming router (specifically the XR500). Given that my previous router was ten years old, this was a huge update to my internet. Both my boyfriend and I play video games and use streaming services quite often. With this new router, we saw a huge decrease in latency issues and streaming is now seamless. The dashboard is also beautiful. It is extremely user friendly and is extremely customizable. With this router, you can eliminate lag and guarantee local connections using the geo-filter feature. You can prioritize your gaming traffic, monitor live game ping, monitor your internet utilization, and monitor what devices are using your bandwidth. Given all of the capabilities and applications you can utilize, I would highly recommend investing in this router if you are a gamer or a streamer. For the $300 you are going to spend on it, you get so much out of it.

Having the option to isolate a search range for gaming servers local to my area is nice. I really like the ability to divide the bandwidth. Not just select two or three devices that have priority, but really allocate the bandwidth. That's awesome. The phone app doesn't have much in the way of options, so it's pretty useless in my opinion. I don't use the app, but the router itself seems great so far.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from So far so good. So far so good. Despite the "gaming" brand and somewhat ugly design of the router itself it has worked well and has been pretty easy to customize to my liking. It may not match the capability of an enterprise grade router but its still managed to surprise me with what it can do. DumaOS is pretty user friendly and pretty refreshing to look at compared to Netgears typical 2007-era looking router configuration page. One downside, either the XR500 does not like my ASRock Taichi x370 motherboards NIC and doesn't detect it, or vice versa. I have to have my PC connected to a switch that connects to the router to get a wired connection. Not really a big deal for me personally but could be an issue for others.

Not to even mention all the extra configuration options you have with the DumaOS.. this is an essential piece of equipment for anyone who does online gaming. Not to mention the built in NAS and remote access. I could honestly go on and on for days and days about this and all the pros and absolute no cons .. but I (and I doubt you have the time for that. It's just a great investment. So what are you waiting for?! Pick yourself up a Netgear XR500 today!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from XR500 Router Ive only had the router for a month now but it has performed amazingly fast and the OS user interface is simple to work with. I think what really takes the router over the top is OS. It makes customizing the router to your specific needs is simply awesome. I haven't had to deal with waiting for things to buffer after installing the router. Hands down I'd have to say the best router out there right now. Im glad I saved up to get the XR500 because im sure it will be in use for a long time. I'd rather cry once and spend a few extra to get the top of the line router than to buy on cheaper and finding out it won't do what you need it to do. I would definitely recommend this product if your looking for a new router.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Solid Router I bought this router because my old router could not handle all the bandwidth traffic of multiple streaming apps and online video game play at the same time. I also wanted a router that could cover the entire house. While it says it can cover a large home, it still is not able to completely provide Wi-Fi coverage to the entire house, but it has had zero crashes and is able to handle all of my bandwidth traffic.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from XR 500 Gaming Router Essentially, this is a good buy especially if you get it during a sale. High quality router that has good wireless range, easy setup for beginners and a good interface for those who know what to do with the QoS for gaming purposes. I would definitely buy this over the AD7200-Nighthawk X10 Smart WiFi Router simply because of price. One snag on this product in the lack of an app (that I know of that I can use to manage this router. Again, this product is really good for those not only into gaming, but high end users that need good speed throughout the house.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Product I decided to take the lead on this router due to the NetDuma software and the solid architecture of the R7800 it's based on, and I was indeed not disappointed. There were several games that I had constant problems connecting to, but once I tweaked the settings on my geographical area and adjusted bandwidth for the devices that need it most, I haven't had an issue since. The interface is so simplistic to navigate, and makes monitoring your connection a breeze. NetDuma creates a one stop shop with it's dashboard, and items like bandwidth allocation can easily be adjusted with sliders. The signal strength is excellent, and the throughout speed is phenomenal as well. Definitely recommend the XR500 and am glad I pulled the trigger.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy and Fast!! This router replaced an ASUS router and I gotta say this one is better in almost every way. The setup was a snap. It’s so easy that anyone can do it. The options are remarkable and you can’t argue with results. Once setup is complete you will be enjoying blazing fast WiFi speeds ( depending on your internet provider). The signal strength is very good. It reaches all parts of my house and outside as well. I love the auto selection of 2.4 or 5khz bands. This takes away any confusion on which one to select and eliminates multiple SSIDs. It comes with two USB ports for adding Storage or other options. Now as for looks, this thing looks like it’s from the future. It’s mean looking and it’s almost artwork. The LEDs are bright but they got you covered. There is an option to cut off the lights via the software and also a hardware switch on the back to turn them off as well. All in all, I wish I hadn’t waited so long to pick up this router. In a word, amazing. If you are on the fence, stop reading and go get this one! You won’t regret it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Looks so cool and is blazing fast! Our 10 year old Netgear router was dropping the connection frequently, so it was time for a new router. After hours of researching the best router for our needs, we decided on the Nighthawk Pro Gaming Router. Setup was very easy with the clear printed instructions provided in the box. It actually took longer to disconnect the old router than it did to set up the Nighthawk! We ran a speed test and we’re very pleased to see our speed was rated “extremely fast.” Our son plays online games and we enjoy streaming TV, and we are able to do both at the same time (as well as using WiFi on our phones without a loss of WiFi speed. We were able to connect all of our other devices (Alexa, smart outlets, Roku, etc.) easily, and we love being able to share the password through our phones with other family members. We are very satisfied with the Netgear Nighthawk Pro Gaming Router and highly recommend it if you are looking for a lightning fast, reliable WiFi connection.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Gaming Router i’ve used i’ve used multiple gaming routers and this is by far the best one i’ve used so far. It’s very simple when it comes to getting it setup, and using the app. I don’t receive any lag on this even when i’m pretty far from it. My ping is substantially lower from it so when i game there’s no issues no matter how many devices there are and i actually receive 25% more mbps then i am paying for with this router. The only downside is that i can’t mount it on the wall but besides that great router 100% recommended.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Gaming Router Ever We have a relatively large home (3000+ sf) so I needed something that would cover the entire house and this does the trick. The QOS is amazing even when there are 15 devices connected to the wi-fi my games run lag free. The geo-filter also ensures I only connect to servers that provide super low latency. If you take your gaming seriously and have a lot LAN/Wi-Fi traffic this is the router for you. DumaOS has every customizable option you could think of.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Networking Made Easy Since I purchased this router, I haven't had any network issues. The router handles every load I throw at it. This isn't a set it and forget it router, though. I generally jump into its interface weekly to check how things are going and remove any stored devices that were only hooked up temporarily. If you like poking around at network interfaces, you'll enjoy this router!

Bandwidth issues... not when I own 85% of the network kingdom! Bad servers... be gone. I am in control now. As a Champion level Rocket League player I needed the edge, and the XR500 gave me just that. Now my opponents are the ones who crumble when the lag strikes while I look down on them, lag free with precision level control. Long live the king, long live the XR500...

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fast Speeds are BACK! I bought this Nighthawk Pro Gaming WiFi Router (XR500 to upgrade from the NETGEAR Nighthawk X6 R8000, which I had for 5 years. Im supposed to have about 400mbps coming into my home, but I was getting about 99-112mbps. I was getting frustrated that my speeds were so low when I was paying for something much faster. I have about 20+ devices at home that rely on fast speeds! Thats when I came across this XR500... As soon as I set this thing up, my speeds shot up to 477mbps!! I was AMAZED at how fast my speeds were! Ive NEVER seen it pass over 200 with the X6 R8000. Also, having all the R-Apps on this new DUMAOS is incredible. Its like having a concierge tell you everything thats going on with your network! Its WAAAY better than the genie interface that im used to - which I wasnt really a fan of. I can prioritize speed with QoS easily on this router also! My router search has finally ended after months of researching thanks to the XR500!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Netgear XR500 I purchased this router to replace a Linksys EA8500. I play Call Of Duty WWII and experience latency with 300mbps download speed from my ISP. This router gives total control over my network. I can deny connection to bad peer servers and approve the servers closest to me. I can set a distance I want to for allowing other players to connect to me. I can see what is eating bandwidth and can control bandwidth. The only complaint I have is the remote access to the router is not as user friendly as I am accustomed to with the Linksys. This router is great for gamers and tech savvy people. I love it so far.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Surprisingly Great I was having issues with my current router, I had to reboot it up to 3 times a day. Frustrated I went to Best Buy and told myself I am going high end, I dont want to deal with router issues anymore. The XR500 has been rock solid since I got it. More than that, the web interface is great. Unlike every other router I have owned, I find myself logging into the admin panel just to see whats going on in my network. I enjoy the network map and seeing a visual representation of the connected devices. Being able to see which devices are the most chatty is great. I have shut down a few devices I thought were idle, but really were blasting my network. I am very happy with my purchase. I have yet to use the QoS options geared towards gaming, because the performance seems great out of the box. Looking for a router that you can just plug in and never think of again, but also have the option to go all out and micro manage your network? This is a great choice.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nighthawk+Duma=great! I'm coming from a Netgear N600 router, that I've had since around 2012-ish, and the RX500 is leaps and bounds greater! The Signal strength is great throughout my house and seamlessly assigns devices to the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz bands through a single source. The DumaOS is equally amazing, and provides the amount of control that I've wanted for my home network, it's something really amazing. 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A1 Router! I was in the market for a new router after years of using my old one, namely because I was running into video buffer issues after cord cutting. I was really interested in Netgear and Netduma's partnership with the robust OS features (DumaOS built for this router when I read about it in January. Needless to say after some time, I'm super impressed with the product itself. Not only were my buffering woes solved, I love the easy to use and customizable dashboard and administration console. Really gives me some cool things to geek out on. On top of all this, my wifi quality has improved, no buffering, and can prioritize traffic to anything I want in my household.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The Best Replacement Made The name of this router says it all and it absolutely means it. I thought that a standard router would do to send what I'm paying for to my devices, yet I would only receive less than 10%, even less than 1%, or not at all. This router has solved my lagging issues and was incredibly easy to set up. Not sure which network band is best for the device you're using? Not to fear, for this router is smart enough to pick the more efficient connection for your device on its own! Don't want other devices hogging your bandwidth? Well, DumaOS allows you to prioritize the distribution of bandwidth on the devices of your choice! I can't imagine myself not using this router after trying it out. It's definitely worth a go! Do not let the lower rating reviews discourage you, for that this router is a type that will bring 100% satisfaction. If you're looking for a superior router, this is one of the best possible choices in existence.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from One of the better gaming routers After years of network setups, I think I have found an easy plug'n and go router to use. Out of the box the nighthawk XR500, was easy to setup. The process was user friendly and only had one hiccup being the self speed test. After setting it up, the nighthawk really did everything else. The nighthawk is a beast of a router. The signal is strong throughout the house. QOS options help with streaming, browsing, and gaming. Overall I would give this router for the price and setup a 4.8 only because of the speed test issue during setup.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from XR500 is The definitive entry level into the high end [router] with a little premium for the Netduma OS. This operating system is easily worth more than they charge in my opinion. It is a continually evolving software that has been in active development for the past 4-5 years. This alone ensures the long life span of this router, not to mention its near future proof hardware. It's gaming oriented but can easily be tailored to multi-use processes. Highly recommended.

I've worked with home network and enterprise-grade gear for more than two decades and this is tops.The DumaOS is fantastic, easy to use but has excellent depth and complexity.The design is like a spaceship, ready to take me places.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Highly recommended This router does what it claims to do. If your like me and always had a shaky connection playing call of duty, this is the fix. No more shooting people with no hit marker. No more feeling like your a couple seconds behind the opponent. So many options and settings, it really is rewarding once your up and running.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from QoS for Gamers QoS (Quality of Service) is by far the best feature of this router. It allows people to stream video in my home while not disrupting my online gameplay. Also, the 5GHz band helps my speed a ton just because of the lack of interference of neighbor routers.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very good router. The router is very good. I like the fact that it has GEO FILTER. As a gamer i can pin point what server I am playing on, my PING to that server, how stable it is, if it is a PEER server or a DEDICATED server. I can see who I am playing with in games. I love that this router has an anti bufferbloat built in, which it is needed for us online gamers. QOS is good a bit buggy but good much better than my R7800 in that aspect. To be honest I have had a lot of netgear nighthawk routers (and other brand routers they are in boxes) and this one is the best one I've owned. So I give a 9 out of 10 and if the QOS bug could get fixed this router would be perfect.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from All the metrics! I bought this router to replace a 3 year old one that wasn't handling all of our wireless systems well anymore. I read a number of other reviews regarding this router and was impressed by its capabilities. The reviews were spot on. It is handling a household with 14 wireless devices plus streaming and gaming without a single problem. Additionally the router OS provides a number of really great metrics showing bandwidth use, CPU use, a constantly running firewall log and other bits of information that give a solid picture of what is going on with the network. This is a great router and worth the price!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Gaming I am a Gamer and have a business I run at home this is the perfect router to handle my needs. This is the best wifi router I have had in quite awhile. With the correct settings for the wifi router you are able to set up your gaming consoles will only take bandwidth when playing games and the router can detect that and is able to still split up the bandwidth evenly. I highly suggest this to any gamer or non gamer. If you are a business at home this router will be able to prioritize the needs for your laptops and desktops making browsing and working more smoothly. I would highly suggest this to anyone that needs faster speeds and needs to prioritize some of their devices.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic Router even for non-gamers The DumaOS gives the user so much more control over their settings without having to install an open source alternative. Very intuitive and easy to understand. I previously had the R7800 which is the same specs wise but I do feel like I am having smoother gaming sessions after swapping out for this XR500. Even non-gamers would see benefit to being able to shape their network to their liking. Very much recommended!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best gaming router out there The DumasOS interface on this router is a breeze to use. All the features work as advertised. This router was worth every penny. I can game, watch netflix, use a torrenting client while my room mates do their own thing and the network never bogs down thanks to the QoS features. I would recommend this router to any heavy traffic user like myself.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Range and Very Fast! I'm very pleased with this router's performance. My gaming consoles are directly upstairs from the router and they have perfect signal strength. When we performed a speed test upstairs devices were getting just as good if not sometimes better than a wired connection, making this router exceed my expectations. It earned my 5 star review.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Improved my overall gameplay First I’d like to mention that I bought this router for the sole purpose of being able to keep up with my internet speed. I primarily play fifa and cod, and without a doubt I can tell you that the GeoFilter is a game changer. People who play fifa (in particular futchamps) know that the servers are horrible compared to any other big name gaming title. The servers are so inconsistent, one game you have a very smooth game the next you have a 3 sec button delay game. The GeoFilter helps you with this, I used to play against from people from Europe and South America, and lag most of the time, but the GeoFilter solves this problem. It won’t allow you to match up against people outside of your “perimeter” you set. It shows you the location of the server you are connecting to, and the ping. Overall this router has improved my gameplay in fifa and COD

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works Amazingly This router single-handedly improved not only our WiFi speeds but ethernet speeds dramatically. WiFi speed went from 120mbps with the provided Spectrum router to 300mbps with this, and from 200mbps to 350mbps with an ethernet cable. It was way easier to set up than I anticipated and I do not regret buying this at all.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best gaming router yet Easy to use interface, lowered latency, and fast connection. I bought this with the hopes of lowering my ping. I was gaming on my Xbox one s at around 50-60. With this router I was able to lower it within 25-32. The QOS system is great for when I want to send most of my up and download speeds to my Xbox for quality gaming. All in all I highly recommend this router.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Time to Upgrade! Between the large advances in networking and the increase to hacking. I knew we had to upgrade but what I didn't know was the huge difference it made in my streaming and gameplay. Little lag ticks that I barely noticed were suddenly obvious after I switched. Thought it was the game the whole time. Dashboard is amazing and there is so much security and customization that if you are someone into really digging into the settings, this is definitely the best router on the market.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A must-have for gamers of all types At first, I was a bit worried that there was a bit too much hype centered around this router. Eventually, I finally caved and picked it up from the store. Moving from an Apple Airport Extreme to the XR500 has been the best thing I've done for my network. Regardless of whether or not I'm playing, streaming, or just surfing the web, there's no lag. This router is lightning fast!

I highly recomend this router if you're a true gamer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Superb Router Was having some issues with my Linksys AC1900 router dropping wi-fi signal. After doing some line/modem/channel sleuthing, I determined that the problem was with the router wi-fi signal. I'm a huge competitive multiplayer enthusiast and was thinking about the Nighthawk line, but there was never a need for it. Due to my employment involving working from home, I absolutely needed a new router. I knew I wanted something within the Nighthawk line, & once I found the XR500 I couldn't get it out of my head. I'm super frugal and do not like paying full retail for anything, but this XR500 seemed worth the full retail price. Best Buy had one available, so I figured I could try it out and return if it didn't suit my needs.Well, I didn't just like the XR500, I LOVED it! The DumaOS is very intuitive, and I love being able to allocate bandwidth. The server radius option ensures you are paired with closer players to reduce ping times. Best overall, no more wi-fi signal drops!

And I'm fi ally seeing the actual speeds my provider provides. Even my wireless devices are seeing speeds unlike anything before. My provider gives 500 mb dl speed and 100 up, and even on my phone a couple rooms away from the router I'm getting 450+down and 98 up.

The Duma OS is easy to use and for those with little networking background can easily navigate by watching a couple short YouTube videos. I love the ability to schedule when the internet is available for my kids to use during school nights. At first it will require some fine tuning for a novice so be prepared to play around with settings to achieve the desired bandwidth for specified devices. Overall this is an excellent product for the price and the ultimate router for those serious about gaming.

I was iffy about this router because my last Netgear modem router combo didn't turn out so great. However, this router worked great from out of the box. The QoS works great. That's what I've been looking for in a router. I can now also track who's hogging the bandwidth and lower their or even kick them off the internet if necessary. I recommend this router.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from beter than "no router" setup I always thought that a direct link from PC to (SB8200 router will offer the best/lowest ping. I was reluctant to buy this $300 router and wanted to keep a second ISP provider for basic WiFi. After finally buying it and doing a bunch of tests on DSLReports, Bandwith Speed Test, and PingPloter I was amazed to discover improved ping from 24 ms to 14 ms (surrounding speed servers) when using this router vs. direct modem (SM8200) link from PC. DSL Reports gives me A+ when turning OFF the WiFi and A with WiFi on (Gigablast). PingPloter gives me very similar results compared to the direct modem link. The most ping this router adds to the first local hop is an average of 0.5 ms max 0.7 ms. I had to play around with the router settings to activate IPv06 (not active by default apparently) which improved my ping even further. Also disabled some router firewals. I'm happy with this router!

I can easily configure the router to maximize the streaming setup and yet still have seamless service for everyone else in the home. Additionally the built in VPN software to utilize HMA works flawlessly and can be turned on and off as needed. Overall 5/5, great quality and superb features, yet simple to use!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Like a dream so far I've dealt with a cheap modem/router in one combo for years that was provided with my internet service. I can not tell you the amount of issues I had with it, long with it's extremely poor range. Swapping to this router, the XR500, was like a dream. I have a much better coverage area, faster download speeds, and much lower latency. I dont have much to compare it to since its the first router other than the cheap one provided to me, but I can say that I havent a had a bit of trouble with this one so far.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worth it This is the real deal. It let's you take control over all of your bandwidth and device allotments. It's physically easy to install, but there is a learning curve to setting up all the features. Make sure you update the firmware especially to get the initial speed test to work. Also, I had some issues getting all my ios devices to work in the beginning. Ended up factory resetting the router and then going through the Nighthawk ios app to setup the WAN before jumping on my hard wired PC through LAN. Thank you for your review.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Early impressions positive Bought this to replace my R7000 that died. Initial setup was easy and once I hit the dashboard I saw it was controlled by HAL9000. This red interface is pretty slick. QOS options abound. A single unit serves my 1500sq ft well and even my front and back yard. If you want a little more control in your network this is great. Love being able to see bandwidth hogs too.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A Great Piece of Tech The XR500 is a real workhorse. We have 5 to 8 devices running off it at any given time and it doesn't disappoint. I game PC and console and there is no lag, no issues with dropped connections and the range is incredible. Setup was a breeze. The features and controls are incredible.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from High quality router So far so good, able to direct bandwidth to devices needing it-to game consoles during games to avoid lag. Don't need any Wi-Fi access point either since it extended the signal throughout the house. Easy enough to configure if you read the basics about router settings. Upgradable software which hopefully will make it last longer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nighthawk Pro Gaming (XR500) I've been a fan of Netgear for awhile now. I previously had the Nighthawk R8000, and it didn't let me down... Until I upgraded my bandwidth speed (to 400mbps) and had problems getting over 100mbps. I was considering the NetDuma R1 because of it's amazing abilities for gaming like the traffic prioritization and the game server ping tools. The DumaOS is user friendly and versitile, Combining that with Netgear's reliable hardware and it dominates! Not only for games, but also streaming 4k. Netflix, Hulu etc. This router will handle it all and then some! I am definitely happy with the XR500 and I look forward to some of the new features and updates to come.

This one seems unaffected by the new firmware and offers a lot more customizable features. My favorite feature is prioritization of devices, with 4 kids that use their devices a lot I can make sure my wife and I have the best connection. This helps especially when they are hogging bandwidth with their gaming platforms and we have work to do. I like the VPN feature and added security.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from XR500 - What Routers Should Be I upgraded from an 8 year dual band router and I can tell you that it was worth every penny. This router is now giving the me upload speeds and download speeds truer to what I've been paying comacast for. DumaOS provides a clean user interface with dashboards and widgets to monitor router health and connection statistics. The QoS toolkit is probably the best widget by far within this router OS. I personally would like to see a DumaOS mobile application. Netgear Genie is a simple and clean experience but it doesn't provide a whole lot of functionality that DumaOS does.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works as intended Works as intended. This is replaying my old router which lasted from 2011 to 2019 but then started to randomly drop connections. Setup was easy but be prepared to spend some time tinkering with the settings. The user interface looks very nice and have successfully connected my devices to both the lan and wifi. Due to my setup, I do wish the included cable was about 1 foot longer however the quality of the cable is better than my previous so I am making use of it. My hopes is that this router lasts a long time like my old one. The speed test seemed to be blocked in setup, so I manually entered my download and upload speeds after doing a test on a free website. The wifi reaches all parts of my home and my connections are stable, so happy with this purchase.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome So, I purchased this after hearing about it from a co-worker. Then i started to do some research on it. Found some nice things like the built in vpn service that all your devices can use through the router. Also the Qos is nice i have yet to experience lag with this router. The Geo filter took me a second to work the built in tool, but now that i have it down pat it is quite nice. The ping is amazing. The only down side is the lack of choices for VPN service to use but its not back in my mind since i havent set one up yet, if they could set up some additional VPNs then i would say it would be 100% for almost all customers. But for me i am satisfied with the functions and services. And i would strongly recommend this piece of equipment.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good as advertised I received this as a gift from a friend. I am in a 3 console house hold with one cable modem. I used to experience lag anytime more than one console was playing at a time. The Nighthawk changed all of that. Neither myself, nor my roommates have experienced any lag since then. The nighthawk gives you total control over how your bandwidth is distributed in multiple ways. My only advice is to do the tutorial and get to know the software. It's incredibly useful but it can be a lot at first for a novice like myself. If I could do it, you could do it. Love the product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from "Unlimited POWER!" Well, for my use at least it's given me a boost of, "unlimited power". I live in a 1400 sq. foot single-story home, but the layout and construction provided issues with my previous wireless-router, even with a range-extender in use. Once I set-up my XR500, which was very simple and straight-forward, that all changed. All of my wireless devices (smart tv's, cells, gaming consoles, smart DVD players, etc.) no longer experienced lag or signal drops with either the 2.4 GHz or 5 Ghz channel(s). If you are a gamer... This is the router to have! Customizations galore within the "Dashboard" await you! I'd definitely recommend this to anyone, regardless if they are a gamer or not. Simply because if you want a feature-rich, powerful and RELIABLE wireless-router that performs better than it's competition, both in price and in literal performance, this is the one to have folks.

Only issue was some interface with Circle, but I just restarted and reconnected a couple of devices and they were fine.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Superb & Powerful Router I have been searching for a router than can give me the most out of my gigabit internet that I'm paying for and this router completely goes above and beyond. I am getting 8/900 directly connected and 6/700 wireless.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nighthawk XR500 The router is working pretty well, faster than my Netgear AC1200 and more reliable. I'm still trying to figure out if it was a better buy than the Tri-band series of routers from Netgear, so the jury is still out on that one.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Every I desired Hi, after being a firm Asus believer, the DUMAOS and Netgears hardware are amazing. The information about what is going on in your network is cutting edge. I would only recommend this router to anyone asking me. Range is the further than anything else I have had. Speeds are fast and responsive. Streaming TV as a cable cutter is flawless. Thank you guys keep up the good work!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Netgear XR500 This addition has been great in my house. I have 3 PS4s that are sometimes on at the same time as well as other electronics attached to the network and we have had stable speeds on all devices. We have the AT&T Gigapower Internet attached to it and it's the AT&T modem that seems to be our limiting factor.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The best I've used I haven't used many routers in my life, and don't particularly game often. I have, however, experience painfully slow wifi, and swore that once I graduated college, I would buy a beast of a router. I have to say that so far, it's the best router I've used. The analytics it provides is very insightful, and the numbers it spits out have been confirmed as quite good from my more technologically advanced counterparts. I couldn't be happier as of now.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Upgrade worth the price I recently upgraded to the NETGEAR Nighthawk Pro after 3 years of using a different router. And I must say that the quality is definitely worth the price. So far I've had no issues with it and I'm already thinking of staying with NETGEAR for future router purchases and upgrades

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This router is amazing! We already had a decent router in our home, but with so many devices for the kids we were fighting over bandwidth. The ability to control which device is priority is amazing. Now my wife won't have any lag in her work video calls and I won't when I'm gaming. Everybody ends up happy. Amazing product keep it up.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Changed my gaming forever! Before purchasing this router, I used to have 180ms ping to the nearest Fortnite servers. My wife, kids, and myself played on this connection for 6-8 months and got used to it. However, my wife and I went out on a limb and purchased this router and our gaming lives have been changed forever. We live in New Mexico, so there's no gaming servers near us for any game we play, and the nearest Fortnite servers are in San Francisco, CA. After setting up the QoS filters in the DumaOS configurator, we now average 20-30ms ping to the same Fortnite servers. We couldn't be happier with this purchase, will definitely buy again and recommend to all friends and family!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Buy it! I switched from my ISP's rented router to the XR500 and I absolutely love it. The install was extremely easy, basically plug it in and go to the router login site to configure. I found the user interface intuitive and friendly to utilize. I appreciate all the customization and have prioritized my devices to receive designated bandwidth. I have centurylink for those wondering. I'm very pleased with this router and highly recommend it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Impressive performance and looks this router works well and looks good too. I especially like the software that is included on it. Only drawback I've come across is the ability to change settings remotely. Linksys had a good way to do that. Would like to see something similar for this router too.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Much better than Xfinity router Got this along with a docsis 3.1 modem and our Xfinity internet is Soo much better. Kids say the games run smoother, video streaming is flawless and device connectivity is much more stable. If thinking of ditching the "new" Xfinity tower they rent with the 1gig service, this is a great option worth look at.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Powerfully Customizable Tech Dream Router Have fiber optic gigabit internet in my house and the XR500 gives me full control over the speed for everything. Gaming is a whole different level wired up, lowest ping I've ever thought was possible. If you are tech/gamer it's a no brainer requirement. Easy to learn for anyone also, all settings give a direct description explanation of you are not a network wizard. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
