Black is sexy

Pros: It performs as good as it looks. Love the all black look, went well with my all black internal build. Can't hear it at all. Just finished BF3 with this on Ultra and full res, not a single hiccup. You can run and tell that homeboy.

Cons: None.

Pros: Price.

Cons: Okay, So I've had this junker for a week now and it's already dead...after I put a credit card offer envelope in it got jammed...cleared the jam, and it refuses to work now. I can hear my dad in my head now..."You get what you pay for!"

Carries well through solid walls

Pros: I live in an older home with walls comprised of plaster, brick and wire-mesh--yes it's a very old home. The Nighthawk was easy enough to setup using their user friendly netgear genie application suite (definitely easier than the cable provider standard interfaces). Once all setup, the signal was perfect. I noticed that it did decrease slightly when ever I had two or more of my thick walls between me and the router, but the signal by then was still a solid average. Same results upstairs on my second floor as well. If you want full bars across your target area, I recommend picking up a repeater. After reading several reviews I also opted to pick up the Netgear EX6200 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833122589) to boost my signal--I don't have a single dead 2G or 5G zone in my old, old house now. Gentlemen, I've had this setup running for a little over a month now, and I haven't had a single signal drop, a hiccup, or wife nagging me that the internet isn't working. I snagged this router up on Newegg for $189, but it also came with a free Chromecast (which is also awesome btw). The nighthawk also looks great with its sexy stealthy curves, and three antennae...when it comes to wifi coverage and reliability--you get what you pay for and this is definitely worth the investment. There are now mounting points on the back as well if you want to put it up on the wall, I think that may be a revision as other reviewers did not have it on their routers.

Cons: Wall mounting was kinda hard.

Works as advertised

Pros: I purchased these on black friday 2012 in order to extend my internet connections through my 1942 Colonial Home, for the price t'was right. The wiring in my home isn't the newest and is least 25 years old and these were able to work just fine under such conditions. I currently have mine hooked up to my media streamer in the bedroom and I now alas receive HD quality streams. I plan on buying another one to wire my rig to. Very innovative and convenient, no complaints...yet.

Cons: Wired connections only.

My wife loves it

Pros: I bought this at the suggestion of a video I saw hosted by Paul from Newegg. Looks mean!, is affordable and can house my Radeon HD 6870 (black) easily. I've added several fans to the case, not because it really needed them, but because I don't want to let all the space go to waste. My wife loves the look too.

Cons: Wish it was black interior

Nice bang for the buck

Pros: This was a suggestion from Paul on Newegg.com, I saw PC building video he posted where he mentioned that this is a nice PSU if you want that oomph but don't have the chump change to buy a fancy one. Glad I listened again!

Cons: None
