Update: I'm a security architect / engineer, been in the profession for 20+ years. Manage firewalls at work.
Pro’s: Wifi - fast, true, nice maps, lots of charts. Very Pretty, That’s where it stops though.
Usefulness? I found 17+ major areas where this > $300 item just does not stack up, so it will be ***returned***.
TL;DR VASTLY SUB PAR for a) the price (> 300) b) NetGears' Rep (I have several products) c) and the maturity of the market. Yes, it is updated to current version as of early May 2022. I found at least 15 major usability problems that cause you to go elsewhere. Editing your own PING heatmap is buggy, error pone and just does not appear to work.

These problems that WILL affect home users. There are BUGS listed here and significant user usability issues that, with 3% of effort, would make this device *significantly* more usable for the home user.

1) Router does not come with an AdBlock list, it should, as its a core feature. When you *first* open the ad bock area, you get a nice message explaining feature, and it specifically calls out protecting smart TV's. When you go find in the support forum the suggested block list, the “default” one, and … you go to Amazon TV, IMDB shows do not play. Why? Because … they have an ad. Stop the ad blocker – IMDB shows play. Now this is not some obscure cheap-o “smart TV” service, its … AMAZON and IMDB!
2) Router has a “ping map” feature, the idea is to see response time for common games. That’s not valuable to me. The idea of having my OWN ping map for work services, Google DNS. OpenDNS servers, etc., would help me to be sure that the services I need for work are “up” and I have good I’Net connectivity. All of the entries I created do respond to ping (ICMP Echo Request) at the cmd line, but … alas … when you add them to the custom router’s list and try it, you get zero response. Unlike the game lists.
3) AD BLOCK: The adblock feature has a “bubble map” showing volume of adds blocked by a given device on the network. Devices are listed as “unknown”, UNLESS the device gives up its name in some manner. For a home user, this is useless. The absolute minimum should be to show the sending devices IP address. THAT would allow the system user to at least see if ads are blocked for … oh … I don’t know, their SMART TV!!! It takes a LOOOOONG time for the ‘adblocker’ page to paint (longer than others). The ad blocker screen did not paint on initial access when I started this write up. I tried going to other screens, and back to ad blocker. ONLY when I hit the “refresh” button in the browser did the adblocker page paint. AdBlock history only goes back 24 hrs. Does not appear to be a way to export ad blocked sites – although you can click at a point in time on the bubble chart and see the ad sites blocked for a specific point in time. Does not appear a way to ‘exclude’ a system from adblocking (that would solve my smart TV issue…)
4) QoS: On day one of getting the device - I set this up. ON day three, when I wet to the QoS settings, I get the “Welcome to QoS” page. I looked at it 3-4 times, and never got the ‘welcome’ page before til day 3. QOS display just has broad classifications of applications, does not appear a way to edit the classifications, or add/delete/edit them.
5) Network Monitor: Same as point 4 on the “welcome” page.
6) “Network Monitor” shows information in the aggregate, you cannot (on this page) identify a top consumer. Why? Because what little “device” information there is not an IP address, or a system name (7/8 say “unnamed device”). I had a Nintendo Switch online – but it did not show up here on this page.
7) “Device Manager” – you may see a device name, you do see a MAC address, you DO NOT see the current/most recent device IP unless the device is online "at the moment". Most home users can connect the dot w/ a system name or IP, and may not know how to find a MAC address. Why show the MAC and not the most recent IP? OH – and I do see a “Nintendo Switch” in this screen, but not others … so … the Identifier in this fancy map display isn’t seen elsewhere, like the “traffic controller” page … Oh no, wait, after 30 seconds, there it is in the list on the TC page … why the delay?
8) The traffic controller page does not reliably populate – 2/3x, it is blank, 1/3 there is no info when you get the page elements – all of which are devoid of data. This is a page where you ‘configure’ properties – so it being empty is OK. It is not OK that a page with no data for its areas does not initially paint.
9) The “wireless status” don’t tell you the number of connected devices. Every other router I've used does.
10) LOGS: There are two places where you see logs – Setup | Monitoring ) Logs and Sys Info | Logs (bottom). These areas display … different information. (so they are different logs, but not labeled that way) The first just has DHCP logs. The second is system level activity. Aside from copy/paste (into notepad?) doesn’t appear to be a way to export/save logs, although there is an ‘email logs’ button – but NOT on the Sys Info | Logs area!
11) ON the dashboard widget that shows “Internet Status” you see the ISP IP, you do not see the DNS servers – have to go to the setup area for that. When you resize the widget you get an error “Missing JSON response” - QA should have caught that.
12) The “Block Sites” does not take a list off the Internet, you would need to edit each entry by hand. QA should have *DEFINITELY* CAUGHT THAT. Many other devices do this, lower than this price point, and PiHole does it for free. So does OpenDNS (for the most part), and NextDNS is $20/yr.
13) The “Block Service” function doesn’t block a “service”, it blocks a TCP or UDP port. Services can run on any port, this section is poorly named.
14) The “Email” address config page does not appear to have any ability to work with MFA enabled services – I did not try here, just reporting what I see on the page. (MFA may work, no idea…)
15) UPDATES: When you press the “check update” button, you get … black text on a dark read background, which is barely readable. You also aren’t told if you are current or not. SO – the user doesn’t know if they need to .. update. QA should have caught that. Most other areas have white text on the dark red background.
16) NTP – one server only, not multiple, can be defined.
17) PING HEAT MAP: This is supposed to be a shining area o/t product. I have Five (5) entries selected in the list for the heat map – a pencil icon shows. Cannot figure a way to change that. SOME times when you click on pencil, you get a “RPC error 'ERROR_UNKNOWN': cannot open //data/dumaos/rapp-data/com.netdumasoftware.pingheatmap/data/usr/custom_1651432715.lua: No such file or directory -> stack traceback: ?: in function …..” error message. Sometimes you get to create / edit a list. Inconsistent.
18) Other – I could not find a way to change the system color scheme, you are stuck with a fairly garish “red” scheme. AND … I do have “accessibility” checked as “on”. (I could see no difference with this checked on or off).

ORIGINAL Post:
Had it for two days. WOW - buggiest code EVER!!!! Took me several attempts to create my own 'ping' list. AND ... then it doesn't work. Can't tell you how many parts / panels generate a JSON / Javascript error. Seems that very little QA was done. Super Un Happy.

The security methods that are pre-set up won’t let you change them so any website aside from Wikipedia is deemed unsafe. It’ll just say not a secure website you can’t go there

Our old NetGear router went out after many years and I'm a NetGear lover. Bought this for our household of five adults and many connected items. I have been very happy since we bought this router. I had to have a wifi modem and separate wifi router in order to run all the items in my household. We dropped down to a modem with this one wi-fi router. I will be buying the newest version of Netgear the next time I need a router and just replace my router and modem in a all-in-one.

The nighthawk has excellent speed and range, it was easy to connect to my current WiFi modem and to change the router security settings as well. This router is extremely easy to use and install. I highly recommend this router.

This definitely protects from hackers and booters

Easy to set up and comes with a cord to plug right into whatever you’re protecting and speeding up the internet to. Also increases the range and last but definitely not least you don’t have to keep any fees for protection.

Gran router gaming, pero demasiado costoso

Funciona mejor que el router gamer de tp link, juego en línea y da una conexión muy estable sin bajones, pero es demasiado costoso, compralo en descuento y sobre todo podría valer la pena para jugar en línea...

Pesimo router

No lo compren, es el peor router que eh llegado a tener ademas de el mas caro, su sistema operativo se llena de bugs y crashes.
Un reinicio controlado desde el control y pierde toda configuracion, el firmware se corrompe constantemente.
Si no tiene reinicios de minimo una ves a la semana, todo falla.
La peor compra

El router funciona bien pero si hay que leer el manual, el cual viene completamente en ingles pero ya entendiendo sus funciones y características se puede configurar adecuadamente de acuerdo a las necesidades, lo que si el sistema operativo que maneja (DumaOS) si tiene detalles que mejorar eso si pero me ha funcionado bien para lo que lo uso, no meterme a partidas con mucho lag.
