Traffic Meter
The monthly totals zero out yesterday’s metrics on a first of a new month. I would expect to see the previous days metrics for the ‘Yesterday’ column and NOT to have them start fresh.
Great Wifi Signal
This is definitely worth the purchase! As the saying goes you get what you pay for and I’m Not disappointed one bit!
CAX80 with app
I purchased this Nighthawk CAX80 because I have had a older model that works amazingly. That being said this app runs it very clean. The devices are easily edited to give you a really good idea of what is connected and where.
Some advice for Spectrum ISP users: The app and Nighthawk did initially give me some issues with the internet connectivity. The “fix” if you can’t seem to login to the router/modem through the app is to call the ISP and have the automated call system “ping” the equipment.
Best router yet
Couldn’t be a happier person now with the range and great speed we are getting.
VP review
Router Works fine after 3 years of service.
One thing is strange that newer versions of firmware are available but anytime I tried to upgrade it loads new version and finishes without errors but when when check what is my current version it is still same as before
Great device
Hey, I can at least use my garage door opener now. Overall, very pleased with my purchase.
Setup
Extremely difficult to setup the extension Took5 hrs. Finally successfully installed Problem mirrored walls split level house
Only the best
Nighthawk, could not ask for a better routor .
DNS settings
Should be able to customize the router more from this app including selecting my choice of DNS
Good stuff
Everything is great but is lacking a feature to lock ip addresses on devices. Have to go to the online admin page for this. Otherwise great though and great routers.
Outstanding product, expensive service
The product covers my home completely and many spaces outdoors as well. It reaches the pool! However; there are several other routers on the market that don’t even charge for setting up schedules and limits (parental controls). I did set mine up with a large discount but why is there a charge at all since the service is already built in? Even a large discount is more expensive than free.
My job now
My husband always took care of security on our home network. A stroke disabled him and now it’s my responsibility. Just got this nighthawk in December of ‘23 & feel secure especially when it sends me blocked notifications of malware or phishing attempts.
👍
I love there products….
Usability
Can’t add my iPhone as a trusted device - reports unknown internal error
Doesn’t remember my credentials and requires login to the router and Netgear every time I try to connect to the router as administrator
2 Negative User Reviews for NETGEAR Nighthawk
Rarely works
Why is it that tech companies always have the worst functioning apps?
Absolute trash
Not sure where all these five-star reviews coming from but the app is:
- extremely slow;
- not logically laid out;
- any change requires a reboot;
- no way to disable 5Ghz network;
- no way to manage router and extenders together as a logical system, you have to connect into each individually;
- no meaningful firewall or a way to control security settings;
- 30 days of free Armor security is a joke;
Coming from Amplifi this app and functionality looks like it was built by a group of toddlers. U
