Great Router
Fantastic device. I work from home and sign into a VPN each day and since the 1st week of July have had trouble with Microsoft Word, Internet Explorer and Mail freezing periodically causing me to have to reboot completely. My office switched my laptops with out success. I changed plug in outlet throughout the house and had AT&T test their router/modem. AT&T stated there was a problem with the VPN. Well after I received the Nighthawk and got it installed, I have not had 1 frozen app. I love it!

Love it!
I really love the new Netgear Nighthawk. I have noticed a definite speed increase from my old Netgear, very easy to hook up. But, whoever came up with the bright idea to use all of these bright WHITE lights. Somewhat annoying, but that is my reason for giving this only a 4!
