UPDATE: I received an email from Netgear support, offering to help get the router going, but have already replaced it with another Netgear model R7000, which is working great. Changing review to 3 stars just because they reached out to me proactively.
(R7000 review): This unit seemed to come with newer software, and an app called "Netgear Up". I was having my son set this one up, for educational puposes, and he installed the app on his Android phone, and set it up very easily. It immediately told him that the unit was doing a "software update" (which is what the R7800 below may have been doing, but no message)... The unit was up and running in 15 minutes or less. We did have to use a browser to connect back into it and change the IP address and other settings, because I was replacing another router, and it configured itself in such a way that I didn't want to leave it. The R7000 works great now, very fast!
(R7800 review): Unit hung up during first setup run, right after I entered a new password and security questions. I was not able to get to that screen again. I tried wired, wireless, factory reset the unit 4 or 5 times, but it never would run the setup genie properly again, would just hang for 5-10 minutes. After 2 1/2 hours of trying to get it working, I gave up and put back my old router and ordered another model, hoping that one works OK.
Note: This R7800 is not my first Netgear nighthawk (just first of this model), and I've done hundreds of various router setups over 30 years, so it's not like it's my first one. :)
I figured I'd try the R7800 and see if the QOS handling was any better. Although I couldn't find any clear explanation between the "Advanced" QOS on the R7000 vs the "Dynamic" QOS on the R7800, it seems that the Dynamic QOS seems to have made all the difference in the world for me (or perhaps something else in the R7800), as the upgrade solved all of my Dropcam stuttering issues immediately. I've only been running it for about a week so far, but have had no disconnects, or buffering/stuttering with the R7800 so far. I've even tried taxing things by simultaneously streaming the Dropcam feed on multiple devices (1 iPad, 3 iPhones, a MacBook, a PC desktop running the feed in both Firefox and Chrome, at the same time), while playing multiplayer Halo 5 on an Xbox One, and streaming 1080p Netflix on a PS3. No lag in my gaming, 1080p Netflix, and no stuttering on any of the simultaneously running Dropcam feeds. In short, it works for me. So I'm happy.
Just to be clear, the R7000 gave me excellent signal strength throughout my home and worked fine for me when gaming or streaming Netflix, but anything with the Dropcam was constantly buffering. The R7800 seems to resolve whatever specific issues I was having with the Dropcam.
Also, I think it's worth mentioning that the GUI for the 7800 is similar, yet very much improved over the R7000. Little things like being able to manually assign names/labels for each device on your network and even choose an appropriate icon (game console, switch, TV, PC, iPhone, etc.) for quick and easy viewing of all connected devices is awesome. I no longer need to determine each device on my network based solely off of the MAC address.
Thanks Netgear! The R7800 is definitely the best router I've ever owned. No issues. Zero complaints.
Top reviews from other countries
Interface provides good options such as detailed device management, QoS parameters etc. However the interface lacks visual appeal and feels like it is 90s product. Wireless coverage is average in spite of having 4 bulky antenna. I could achieve file upload speed of 12 Megabytes on my Synology NAS on 5GHz channel. If you are looking for wider signal coverage, you may be dissatisfied. However if you are looking out for a workhorse with future proof features, go ahead with this one.
