Comments on NETGEAR Nighthawk WiFi Router for Android

★★★★★ 65 Grndl · Jun 22, 2026

I have been using Nighthawk products for years! The updates to the app and the routers are making it much easier to configure and manage! Keep up the good work!

★★★★★ xboxjimmy king (SGT SADLER) · Jul 5, 2026

Great app that tells me everything about my connection to my modem/router, and who connected to it, beats needing a computer, I can even perform a speediest, and reset my modem/router if need be. A well thought through app

★★★★☆ James Braus · Jul 5, 2026

I would give it 5 Stars, but it was difficult to Initially Setup. After that I am Impressed! It's SO Much faster than my 10-year-old Netgear! With Spectrum all Downloaded Movies and Shows play without buffering and smart devices instantly connect. Just hated the switch from old to new router devices. I must admit the app is Cool didn't have that before.

★☆☆☆☆ Brian · Jul 20, 2026

Trying to set up the eax17 and being in the ext Wi-Fi the app cannot connect to the device. It also keeps losing connection the main router despite my phone having a 900Mbps connection

★☆☆☆☆ Stay Happy · Jul 6, 2026

The App and Router Efin sucks.... Don't waste your money there's better routers than Nighthawk/Netgear Company... It always has Errors and random disconnections... ..

★☆☆☆☆ Jacob Reidel · Jul 18, 2026

Netgear disabled the login page to my R7000, forced to use this garbage. App won't connect without "internet" router won't change settings while "online" I disconnected WAN port, app "needs an internet connection" to change local Wi-Fi settings. Lies. It's connected and your app refuses to work. 3 months ago none of this was a problem. Never buying another netgear product, you lost a customer.
