Wi-Fi & Networking

Latest review: This Google mesh Wi-Fi system has really changed the way our Wi-Fi network coverage extends throughout our house. We used to have a traditional router with a range extender in the living room. Now the three units are strategically placed throughout the house and we have the strongest Wi-Fi signal ever to include great coverage in the garage and out into the driveway and yard. What else can I say?

Latest review: Returned this version with Alexa, Alexa would randomly talk or make noises all hours of the day. None of our other Alexa devices do this. Returned the unit and did replace with a non-Alexa Orbi. The orbi system worked to extend the wifi and speed across a flat 2200 square foot house, just wouldn't recommend the Alexa option. Get an echo dot if you want Alexa.

Latest review: Quality product from top to bottom. Easy interface that also allows the tweaks the more advanced user would appreciate. Made my relatively slow internet response better and allowed me to spread it across more devices with no slow down. Great purchase at this price!

Latest review: Linksys AC1200 MAXThis extender took 10 minutes to set up and link to my router. The Linksys works well. For example, a security camera at the furthest distance from the router, on the outside of the garage, had played recorded videos in a halting/jerking mode, sometimes with long pauses – and now those video replays are smooth and nonstop. Also, testing our network signal strength (via the Android app: WiFi Manager) showed the Linksys extender on the first floor of the house has a stronger signal than the signal from the router on the second floor of the house.

Latest review: I am using this to connect to an Xbox One in a bedroom to a reliable hardline into an Orbi router. Being a Netgear product, I wasn't worried about performance or reliability with the Orbi. Note: The speeds are not going to be as fast as a traditional hardline connection, however, much more reliable than a wireless connection. I saw a noticeable improvement to download speeds when using a gigabit internet connection vs using wifi. It is a little pricey for what it is however, but does its job well.

Latest review: This thing routes my 1's and 0's like lightning! Seriously, it does what it's advertised to do w/o gilding the lily. Works well for an office pod of 4 users and their printing needs.

Latest review: I would not purchase Devices with Insight. Certainly don't purchase Insight Bundles or Insight Subscriptions as the device credits (aka subscriptions) are not usable on Netgear's Insight Web Site. I spent two weeks with Netgear Support and they had no option to resolve the issue. I returned all of the device credits for refund as it turns our you have to purchase device credits directly from Netgear! Further a lot of advanced settings are NOT available from the Insight Cloud and what is worse if you change a Insight device from Cloud to Direct Management you loose all settings -- its either or! I think we should consider Insight an very very early beta! If your have to use Local Management to get to advanced features then save you money and use ProSafe Devices and save the money!

Latest review: I bought the poe switch to eliminate the power cord etc where I have a device. Works very well

Latest review: This works great. I am using it for my basement and the speeds are very close to it being hardwired without worrying about wifi coverage.

Latest review: Not able to ever test it. It eventually powered on but would never connect to anything. Change of cables and location, power source...etc. It just powered on and that was it.

Latest review: Linksys - AC1200 Dual-Band USB 3.0 Adapter - Black works great and makes our older pc useable again.

Latest review: Did not work out of the box. Had a hard time getting it to work at all. Called support and they told me to return it.

Latest review: The ARRIS - SURFboard 16 x 4 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem - White is, in fact, a cable modem. It do a great thing at the internet, is very very yes! When I turning on the internet, it connect me to the world wide web. I am a Comcast Xfinity and it do internet good with the Comcast Xfinity.

I am having no problem with the ARRIS - SURFboard 16 x 4 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem - White, creating a seamless connect with world wide web for whole family.

Latest review: Easy to connect and it works perfect extending your wifi all over

Latest review: Great coverage for a 1930 townhome with 1925 square feet.....lath and plaster walls! Thank you NetGear! Installation easy with firmware update.

Latest review: With all the gaming going on in the house was running out of RJ49 space on modem, this curved the problem.

Latest review: I bought a refurbished computer that came with a cheesy little USB type for wifi. I knew that was going crappy...so, I went a got the NetGear AC1200 Dual-Band WiFi Adapter that really speeds up WiFi.

Latest review: Bought this for my daughters apartment. It’s been reliable and works as supposed to. The speeds that she is getting very fast. Distance is also good without having to boost the signal.This is a very inexpensive router that does what it claims. Can’t beat the price either.

Latest review: So, I have had this router for almost 7 years. 7 !!! And it still works better than my cable co's wifi boxes ever have. I am in a 4000 sp foot 2 floor house. Are there some dead spots? One or two, but, that is mostly in the wing of the house, were the signal has to go through 2 outer walls, with metal siding. All in all, it has been a great wireless, and handled my slowly increasing IoT. Several Alexi, some connected lights and wall switches, plus the usual onslaught of phones , tablets and tvs. If you can still find one out there, and if you are not too concerned about 801.ax (wifi 6) then this is a good option.

Latest review: Need to update my hardware and simplify it and this switch was perfect size and worked right out box no problem.

Latest review: It's an unmanaged 24 port switch and works as expected.

Latest review: I've owned this switch since June of 2017 and while it works, it was great. Did its job wonderfully. Now alittle over two years after this device is failing hard, causing huge ping spikes on everything connected and causing files to be dropped from my plex server to my main pc. Everything is Hard-wired. If I take this swtich out of the network and run my pc to my router everything resumes as normal. Because of this product failing inside of the warrnety I cannot give this product more than a 1 star or recommend it. If customer suppoert wants to rectifie this, I am more then willing to return this rating to 5 out of 5, as I said when it works it does what its suppost to no problems. Also, the build quality feels great, being a metal case as such.

Latest review:  In January I bought two of these switches to power Axis POE IP cameras at my biggest customers site.In August, one of them just died on me with a flashing blue light.Googled the Blue flashing light and found a post suggesting that it could be looking for a DHCP address or going through a self test. Connected to a DHCP server but cant see it.Just like that. 8 mission critical POE cameras off now.Next time I think I will spend more on a Netgear or Cisco.

Latest review: Great switch at a low price, especially with the metal chassis.

Latest review: We installed this Netgear - it works very well, no issues!!

Latest review: Nice booster for my Wi-Fi. We need an extender and I feel this product does exactly what it supposed to. It really does help the gamers in my family to have this in beside their games

Latest review: Setup was easy. Keep in mind if your laptop does not have a CD drive, you will need to get the setup files onto a thumb drive and copy them over to your laptop or run the install from the thumb drive. After copying the files, I was going in less than a minute or so. Make sure you have your WIFI password handy and turn of MAC filtering on your router if you have it enabled. This device doubled my laptop speed. I attribute that to the fact that my inexpensive laptop probably supported only 2.4 GHZ so running now at 5GHZ made the difference. Definitely work the money.

Latest review: I live in an apartment that's pretty long. From my living room to the bedrooms it's about 60 feet and before I had an outdated router. I was skeptical at 1st because of the price but then I thought I'm paying for what I get. My last router was about 120.00 and the connection never reached the rooms. Now I have coverage everywhere with faster speeds. Set up was a breeze and can control everything through the app available on IOS and Android which I have. It's a bit big but its improved connection are something that can't be taken lightly.

Latest review: small netgear consumer grade switches used to have an annoying habbit of their underspec'd power supplies dying. Twice I've kept them going by splicing the coax plugs to an unused laptop power supply with the right voltage.The two gs108s and three gs105s I have haven't had any power supply issues. They've been rock solid and their managed features are pretty much included for free. I've been replacing my switches with these so I can have a vlan for devices that need the internet but I don't trust to be on the same LAN where sensitive data exists.However, I'm giving it 1 star instead of 5 because all three switches, purchased of several years, nag the user with every connection to register. The 'turn off' function has no effect. Registering has no effect!! There simply is no way to stop the nagging.

Latest review: This item is so easy to setup and extends your gig speed network across multiple devices away from the main switch/router.

Latest review: There aren't any decent internet service providers available in my neighborhood in central FL. We do however have good Verizon 4g lte coverage and after doing research and reading reviews, I decided to give this a try.WOW! We now have decent internet at home.How I set mine up:1-Signed up for a Verizon prepaid data only plan.2-Bought a Verizon Jetpack, activated the sim card with the Jetpack.3-Removed the nano sim from the Jetpack, put it into an adapter that makes it fit the micro sim card slot in this modem.4-Plugged in the modem with the installed Verizon sim card, it connect right away.5-Connected this modem with an Ethernet cord to a Netgear Router and viola, we had WiFi!I am not a very savvy with setting up networks, but I managed without any issues. Currently I have the modem in a window that's facing the tower it's connected to (which I found out by using the app Network Cell Info Lite).Overall I am very satisfied with this modem and would recommend to others. This would also be great for people who live in RV's.Thanks to Steven Hicks for his review or I probably wouldn't tried this modem.

Latest review: Incredibly easy to set up. I max out my ISP bandwidth (400gbps) almost anywhere in the house. My only complaint so far is that, every now and then, my cell phone seems to drop connection when I'm on the fringes, and then fails to come back when I'm back in the house.

Latest review: The first best thing I ever bought of Asus was router rt-n56u which is still working for the last 5+ years. Loved it especially for the USB connection making it possible for me to setup my own accessible home server. That was so smart as non were offering that (and 90% of other manufacturers are still not) on any routers. This was one of the reason for me to start searching again for routers that are reasonability priced, offer new tech (wifi 6), offer mesh system and has USB option for allowing to setup my own NAS at home. Guess what, so far this was the only company and router offering that and so far so good. No issues so far. Have set it up for almost 2 weeks now.

Latest review: If you want WiFi coverage in every room with signal strength like you were holding your device up to the wireless router: this is the answer you have been looking for! Set it Up myself 3 weeks ago and have not had one problem. It works flawlessly! It is not inexpensive but it really solved all our WiFi issues.

Latest review: Since I switched to this router, I've had problems with devices losing their internet connection several times per day, for a few seconds each time. Also, Ring cameras are unable to connect to this router. After a few weeks I gave up with this and went back to my old $20 router I bought years ago. Don't waste your money on this.

Latest review: This works great, but I was hoping for more in my installation. I am using it in my Airstream and the camper acts like a Faraday's cage. This helps, but it doesn't produce that strong of signal outside the camper. Sure helps inside though.

Latest review: So before I bought this router I had the frontier router that came with frontier services and the mac speed I would get is 220 for upload and 160 for downloads but the speeds would keep dropping to under a 100 and my wifi would keep loseing service then come back on and they had replaced the router 5 or 6 times and the same exact stuff would happen everytime so I bought this router and after I set it up I only had my phone connected to it and my upload speed was 549.4 and download was 314.9 and after I connected my 30 devices to it TVs phones iPads desktop playstation xbox etc. and all my smart home and alexa devices my speeds went up my upload is now at 551.5 and download is at 495 I'm am still amazed and I have full bars everywhere in the house including out back and outfront

Latest review: Great mesh system one more covers up to 3000sq easy setup but to have a professional Instal it is a plus

Latest review: I work for a MAJOR Manufacturer of WiFi systems primarily for business use. This product is so simple to configure with such great wireless coverage in larger houses you can't go wrong.Personally I have deployed the product in what they call "Bridge" mode and still make use of my "Nighthawk" router for connection to the Internet due to more "consumer grade" network security, but there is no reason that this product can't be used for overall security when connecting to your Internet provider.Said simply, I LOVE IT!Although Amazon had it for a few bucks less, Best Buy matched it without discussion.

Latest review: This is my first mesh router but loving it so far. My old router started messing up so I got these and loving the mesh system on these.

Latest review: I live in a 2 story townhome with a finished basement where I spent most of the time when at home. I had a lot of issues with my wireless router located in the main floor when trying to get signal throughout the house. The bedrooms in the second level will barely get signal and the units in the basement will only get half the signal. I switched to the Google Nest WiFi Router and 1 Point and it made and incredible difference. I thought I was going to need to buy a second point to have one on each level, but just with the router in the basement and the point in the main level, I get vert strong signal throughout the house. No issues to report so far!
