## Description

NETGEAR Nighthawk RS400 cybersecurity Wi-Fi router provides best-in-class cybersecurity to defend your entire network and all connected devices in your home.

Review: Super pleased with this! - I had a 10-year old router that this Netgear router replaced. The old router, max, could do 750 Mbps. With an internet package with speed up to 100 Mbps and with the old router, I was getting no greater than 95 Mbps down and often slower. Upgrading to this router plus choosing an alternate DNS server, with same internet package, I am getting speeds of up to 120 Mbps across all my devices (except a tablet, which is slow anyway). Speedy! Setup was okay. The app did help get me going when my desktop was down during the switch, but then I found it easier to configure everything on my desktop, in the router software, once I got my desktop computer connected. Setup time was about the same as most routers. It wasn't without some frustrations. But now that it is all set up, I'm super excited about it! Really slick looking design too!
Review: GREAT DEVICE ZERO INSTRUCTIONS - Router was delivered right on time, great seller. The router works great after you get it installed. UNFORTUNATELY: >>> It came with zero instructions, only a link that didn't work to an app for a smart phone. I had to dig thru massive Google Research to finally find the manual and instructions on the Netgear website. You absolutely can not install this device without those instructions. Why they are not included, or at least linked, is inexcusable stupidity on Netgear's part. I've purchased many Netgear devices in the past, all worked as advertised. But, whoever is running the router business now needs to be fired; and take all his "Kiddie Parade," helpers with him. As they are completely out of touch with reality when it comes to customer supplied data and support. Which does not exisit. I'm a licensed professional electrical engineer with massive experience in leading edge technologies in Computers, and telecommunications. And, this stressed me to the limits making it work. I do not recommend this product unless you have and electrical engineer experienced with telecom and computers available to help you install it. Because, you will just be returning it for whatever refund desertcart will allow you to have. Just a disgraceful, awful marketed, and packaged product: I do not recommend unless you have expert professional help.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great looking and performance. No Issue So Far. No Accessing Problem with Armor Security
*by J***K on July 5, 2020*

This is a great looking router that has great performance capability, convenient mobile app, and 3 years of Armor Security. You can set up everything easily with smartphone once you download the Nighthawk app and scan your router's QR code and it will register for you. You can allow and block network access, change password, do parental control, check internet speed, manage devices on the Wifi, change security setting, and so much more with your smartphone. This app allows remote connection so even if your smartphone is not connected to your router's Wifi, you can control your routers hundreds miles away. Before I purchase this router, I saw the review on this product in regards to the issue with Armor Security that blocks access to many websites. I don't have this issue. I don't know why that reviewer is having that problem but obviously he/she must have done something wrong or tried to access some illegal web maybe. One possible downside is that the status LED light on this router is EXTREMELY BRIGHT. If you allow all the status lights on, you might have a problem sleeping in your room if you're sensitive to bright lights. But you can turn the status lights off by logging into netgear.com. The power status light won't turn off but all the other lights will be turned off which is so much better. But if you turn status lights off, you obviously won't be able to see the internet status just by looking at the light. Yes. It is bit pricey but overall I'm very satisfied with this product as this is performing very well ever since I purchased this and installed it and had zero issues with it so far. I think this is a good investment for your optimized internet & gaming experience.
