Comments on NETGEAR Nighthawk WiFi Router for Android

★★★★★ Joan Weikel · Sep 21, 2026
So far so good. I was terribly worried about installing the new router. It was fairly easy to install and start up. The anguishing part was connecting my devices to it. It was surprisingly easy. Thank you, Netgear!
★★★★★ Kristy Metzger · Sep 17, 2026
My experience with Nighthawk routers has been nothing but fantastic. Easy to set up, broadcasts my Wi-Fi better than what comes with my IPS, sleek look, excellent admin options. Mine have worked consistently for years. I always luck out and happen to need one when they are on sale at Best Buy.
★★★★☆ Mark Peterson · Oct 4, 2026
Manual setup was fairly easy. It did take about 20 minutes to complete
★☆☆☆☆ Andrius Dubinas · Oct 7, 2026
Buggy as it can get. Setup process is terrible. Stability - non-existent. Sometimes app can't connect to my router, although web interface works fine. Traffic meter doesn't update datą regularly, real time traffic is not reported. App connects to device through mobile internet, rather than directly through Wi-Fi. Update: Even more enshitification - forced login to their web app when you are in your home network and connected.
★☆☆☆☆ Justin · Sep 19, 2026
New phone issue. Upon connecting it prompts for the admin router password and despite knowing 100% it's correct (logging in via web browser worked fine) it says it's wrong repeatedly. I had to disconnect from the router, force the app to login to my Netgear account first via mobile data, then reconnect to the router and now the same admin password was accepted. There is zero indication not having the account logged in was the issue, and why does the account log in not appear first if required?
