On a serious note however, this is an incredible router that I highly recommend, particularly to any Virgin users with a Super Hub 3.

I ordered the R8000 hoping to resolve all of these issues, and a week in, I have to say I wish I'd done it sooner. I now get full internet bandwidth, or close to, on mobile devices, and the stability is absolutely rock solid. Also, the coverage reaches the entire house, and down to the bottom of our 30ft garden with no need for any form of extender. In short, it gives you a proper Wi-Fi network that allows connected devices to perform as you would expect.
Installation was a doddle, and took all of 5 minutes to get it connected and working. Simply log in to the Virgin Hub 3's admin webpage, and switch the Hub into modem mode. This disables all of the Wi-Fi functionality on the Hub 3, and uses it only to connect to the Virgin network. Reboot the Hub 3, connect one end of the supplied ethernet cable to any port on the Hub 3, and the other to the yellow "Internet" port on the R8000, using the Nighthawk mobile app. Download the Netgear Nighthawk app to an Android or iOS device, connect the device to the Wi-Fi on the R8000 with the credentials on the sticker on the top of it, launch the app, and simply follow the instructions. It instantly identified the router, connected to it, installed the latest firmware update, prompted me to update the admin password (no brainer anyway), and then it all came to life and started working.
There's a lot the Nighthawk app can't do, so after doing this, you will need to go to the admin web page for the R8000 (192.168.1.1 default) and log in with the admin credentials you just provided in order to complete the config, set your Wi-Fi security and SSIDs up, configure your access control and guest network, and so on. You'll be tweaking stuff for a while, but you really do get a basic, functioning Wi-Fi network inside of 5 minutes.
The full parental control is achieved via the Circle app (by Disney, strangely), which does come at a monthly cost of £5 (with a month's free trial included), but it is absolutely brilliant. It gives you all the control you need, lots you probably don't, and is so easy to set up and use that it's worth every penny. I created profiles for both my daughters, and assigned the devices they use to them. The software then logs and manages everything these devices do on the network. It will enforce internet access times, bed times, and even let you control access to individual websites or apps. For devices used by adults, or static devices such as our Amazon Echos, smart switches or media streamers, you can set these as 'unmanaged', so that they work without any interference at all.
The app also allows you to quickly and easily enable and disable internet access for an individual user with a single click, extend time limits quickly as a reward, and provides a full breakdown of the URLs and apps accessed by each user, with times and dates, and the amout of time spent on each. The other really handy thing is that you get a push notification to the app if a new device accesses the network. I have experimented with MAC address access control on Wi-Fi before, but it is a pain having to log in to the admin console every time you have a guest who wants access, or whenever you buy a new device. With this, you can leave access open, but get a notification whenever a new device logs in. It's a much better solution, for me anyway. Of course, you can still go a step further and restrict access by MAC address, if you prefer.
Downsides? The router is a big old lump (see pic) which will need a decent amount of space, close to your Virgin Hub. It's also not cheap of course, but when you're paying £50 a month for 200 Mbit internet, your devices are struggling to see a tenth of that in reality, and the standard hardware supplied by the ISP simply isn't fit for purpose, the performance upgrade it delivers is instantly noticeable. It has been nothing short of a transformation in terms of the real internet speeds we are seeing, and I love the visibility it gives over what the kids are doing and when, as well as the easy control to stop unwanted behaviour. The difference between "proper" Wi-Fi, and what you get with the standard ISP provided junk really is staggering, both in terms of performance and configurability.
Fantastic bit of kit. Highly recommended.

Here's the crunch. With my PS4 connected via 2.4Ghz wirelessly on the old router, I was getting a download speed of anywhere between 5 and 8.8 Mbps NOW with the new R8000 and the PS4 connected via 5Ghz I am getting a consistent download speed of 67Mbps so pretty much a 10 x improvement.
It's worth saying though, if you're buying a new router because you have slow broadband speed, be sure it is the router and not your actual line speed first. The best way to test this is to do a speed test from a laptop hard-wired into the router by ethernet cable and if that's good or as expected, then the likelihood is you have slow and congested wi-fi. If not then get your line speed sorted first before buying a new router.


If you are using Airplay products, then stay very clear of this. Been experiencing various issues, namely Airplay devices not visible, TimeMachine drive disappearing etc. Normally can be fixed by rebooting everything but having to do that every other day is clearly not great. The most annoying and biggest problem is stuttering experience on Airplay - both streaming to Zeppelin Air and to AppleTV. Affects all devices and connections.
Also Netgear only provide 90 days of support - after that you are on your own! I was able to get some support that seemed to fix the issue for the majority of time even though it still reoccured occasionally. Then with a recent firmware update the issue returned. And now I realised that I cannot get Netgear support outside 90 days of purchase even tough the product is still within warranty! Ridiculous and complete failure of Netgear as a company.
Thankfully Amazon were amazing in helping out and providing a refund for this router. Lesson learn and now will stay away from Netgear.
