This router is complete garbage. I "upgraded" from an N600 which quit working to the R7000. Issues right out of the box with 5ghz wifi. Tried reseting, downloading different firmwares from netgear, and even went to third party firmware. I just recycled your POS product that lacked reliability after dealing with its BS for over a year at the same bestbuy I bought it from and walked out with an Asus. For anyone looking to jump on the discounts for this model do yourself a favor and pass. Spend a little more or less with someone else.

- Hi whenever I try to activate Netgear armor on my nighthawk it says there an error in activating it.
Horrible firmware.
So many bugs. So unreliable! So expensive for a piece of junk.
Upgraded the firmware up and down. Every version is worse then before.
If you enjoy pulling your hair out, or have your wifi keep dropping on you, then buy this router.Got so fed up with the mickey mouse firmware, that I flashed it with AdvancedTomato.
OMG what a difference! It's rock solid no matter what we do to it, we couldn't crash it or make the router unresponsive.
Do what I did and chcuk the Netgear firmware. Or keep it and suffer.
Shame on you NetGear for such an awefull firmware.
I can't agree with you more! This router is straight Sh**. My wifi goes out all the time. Ive reset/rebooted/wiped/erase all forms of technical support. It is sad to say my $10 a month router from Spectrum ran so much better than this device and I spend 150. Lately its been giving me more issues. the 5GHZ drops all the time. My gaming PC not getting internet intermittently, even though its on ethernet.
I still have mine hooked up to a simple digital timer that turns the power off and back on every week. It's the only way I could make this device "reliable" enough.
Why Netgear won't put in a scheduled reboot feature is beyond me. The device clearly needs one.
