Overview
Not a router for a large house or heavy use, the NETGEAR router covers a small apartment and connects to an existing cable modem. The Nighthawk app handles setup, speed tests and data usage tracking.
Simple app setup and dual band Wi-Fi cover a studio or small apartment with a few devices. Wired ports top out at Fast Ethernet, which caps speed on faster plans.
Who it's for
Small apartments with light streaming and browsing get an easy, app-managed router. Larger homes or fast fiber plans will outgrow its coverage and ports.
Pros and cons
- Easy app setup
- Speed test and usage monitoring
- Dual band Wi-Fi
- Four wired ports
- Fast Ethernet ports only
- Small coverage area
- Low device count
- Older security options
Performance notes
Coverage is limited to a small space, so central placement matters. Wired devices are capped by the Fast Ethernet ports, which fall well short of gigabit plans. Dual band lets newer devices move to the less crowded band.
