I've had it going for a few days now and I'm very pleased. I'm getting excellent speed and range compared to my previous router. Far corners of my house that previously had weak signals are now able to access the internet easily. And the Disney Circle parental controls are excellent. It's great because you don't have to buy the separate Circle device, so you're essentially saving about $100 while getting great simple to use web filtering and other features. I think Netgear also has one of the easier to use admin interfaces. You have a simplified view if you aren't much of a tinkerer or an advanced view for those who feel more confident in more granular control of their WiFi and networking.

why does netgear still lock dhcp to the class c network range the router is on? many of us run class a or b private networks and this breaks our net design. please unlock the dhcp for class a and b networks. please also get rid of the internet required setup! oi... sandbox setup is so hard when required to setup via netgear dot com gaarith 2020-01-04 05:03 PM Re: r7000p nighthawk dhcp locked also please get rid of the per setup page reboot! why can you not ram cache the setting changes and do a single reboot?

Go to netgear and put in your router model. This will take you to where you can download firmware and also a user manual. In there it will tell you about using a browser and also how to do a IMHO recommended way to manually update the firmware. As far as classes for IP addresses, keep in mind this is a consumer grade router with a max of 32 devices per wireless channel for example so you are not going to run out of IP addresses. What you are asking for is commerical grade which these definitely are not. Message 3 of 5 Success!

I've been using my R7000 for the past few weeks now and haven't encountered any issue. WiFi signal is strong and haven't encountered dropped connection. I'm running R7000 behind Verizon's Quantum router and port forwarding configuration works great. I am able to access a website hosted inside R7000's subnet on one Rpi3, and also a motion camera on another Rpi3 unit, from outside my network (I'm viewing my Rpi3 motion camera on my phone while i'm at work). Overall, easy to configure. I'm running stock router firmware. I also turned off LED lights (from the router settings) because it's quite bright.

I've had no issues since seeing up this router. I like the smart wifi feature that gives you both band of wifi frequencies under one name. No separate 2.4 and 5 GHz names in your list of available options. Range seems better than my previous Linksys router.

easy to setup. each port has it own light, so you know which cable has a problem or not. don't panic if doing setup it says that" serial # already registered. Netgear will let you change the old password to your own. Remember 5G is accessible with devices that are 5G capable. this model transmit 2.4G and 5G.
