Managed Internet Router

This Nighthawk Modem Router is perfect for my internet needs!

It's a modem. You plug it into the wall and then into a router and you get internet.

Is the best router with wifi 6. Internet is fast and the coverage is awesome!

I enjoy using this product because the internet rarely goes out with Modem/Router.

Handles the internet speed and wrks great with our NETGEAR router.

Capable enough for a complex home network. With a VLAN capable router this switch serves as the root of other managed and unmanaged switches and direct drops. Separates Core, Guest, and IoT VLANs with space left over

I had a TP-Link managed router that kept locking out ports for no apparent reason. I opted to replace it with this Netgear unmanaged switch, which has so far been perfect. I appreciate their including the necessary parts to convert it to rack-mount, even down to the rack fasteners.

This router works well with other Ubiquity Unifi devices including managed switches, wireless access points and network extenders. This router is fast. The self hosted server app works well on a Windows 10 pc. What isn't clear from the product description or BHP tech support is that the 2.5 GB ports adapt to 1 GB connections and that this router can replace an older Ubiquity UniFi router by plug and play. All that is needed, is to replace the new router on the gateway connection and adopt the device. Once you adopt the new router you get a message saying you can't have 2 gateways. Then just go and forget/remove the old gateway router from the app and re-adopt the new gateway router. Give it a bit of time and all the settings will be automatically applied to the new router. I have a xfinity cable modem, UniFi gateway router, 2 UniFi 8 port managed switched, 1 UniFi WAP, 2 UniFi Beacon wireless network extenders and about 50 network devices managed with a fixed ip setup. My only complaint is that nobody at BHP or Ubiquity could give me a straight answer on upgrading the router.

Oh, I like this router.  I like it a lot.  It is tiny.  It is probably a quarter of the size of the consumer router from Cisco/Linksys, prior to the Belkin acquisition of Linksys, that it replaced.  It is also a managed switch so it is much more feature packed.  It can handle multiple VLANs, VPN, Firewall rules, NAT rules with DMZ roles, and the list goes on.    Here is the negative: It is a managed router with an interface designed for professional network engineers.  I have worked in IT professionally for nearly 25 years and I am extremely grateful that Ubiquiti included the WAN+2LAN2 Wizard as part of their management software.  I was reading through the software manual to set the router up and I am thinking, I see how to configure DHCP, I see how to configure internal routes, now how do I set this up to use DHCP on one of the network ports that I plug in to the cable modem and set up that route to the private network served by this routers DHCP server through NAT?  It turns out the afore mentioned wizard sets up that exact configuration which can then be easily tweaked once all the parts are in place.  And that wizard matters because unlike a consumer router, there is not a dedicated jack to plug in to your modem; any of the five jacks can be configured in that role or any other role.   Basically, this little guy can make your network as intricate as you can conceive with five network ports.  Even with the wizard it is more involved than setting up a consumer router, but a little reading of the manual for individuals not familiar with the terms being used and it should not be much more difficult.  As a final note, the manual can be downloaded from the manufacturers website and if it looks overwhelming then this probably is not the product for you.

We were having struggles with our WiFi router that came with our internet, but this system makes our WiFi so much more accessible and faster! We love it.
