My family has been using NetGear for our Wi-Fi for years now and never once changed brands. Even with three inhabitants and many guests frequently streaming television, music and other media files and playing constant online games we almost never experience any errors or stutters in service.

I’m an avid gamer and so is my dad. Competitive online shooter games and MMORPG raiding environments demand as little lag as possible to respond to intense, fast-paced situations where a few milliseconds of delay could spell team death. Even with both of us gaming at once – or several people simultaneously when I host gaming parties, on computers and consoles with wireless controllers – there’s no slowdown even when we’re in different rooms of a multi-story home.

We used to use a single-antenna NetGear device and upgrading to this device with three antennae makes an awesome difference. I’ve never lost the signal anywhere in or near the house. This is easily the most powerful router and adapter I’ve ever used. I’m glad I stuck with the NetGear brand and upgraded to the Nighthawk.

The whole family loves watching TV and videos too. With one person streaming Netflix on the big screen and the rest of us watching YouTube on our laptops or tablets lag is still practically nonexistent. Guests can come over and enjoy streaming video on their phones too, and they’ve never complained about service. It’s easy to set up guest access to make sure our friends can do what they want while still keeping out neighbors or strangers from unauthorized use and eating up any bandwidth. We can monitor exactly how many devices or machines are connected, too.

The router and adapter is easy to install. We weren’t especially tech savvy when we first bought it but setting it up and troubleshooting is a cinch. We didn’t have to fiddle around with complicated software configuration and we could plug it in anywhere in the house, which is handy when we need to free up an outlet for a new gadget. It’s good to know that even if we do have problems (which we haven’t so far) we’ll have access to year-round tech support and GeekSquad on-call.

    Ah man, can’t enter! Too bad too, Netgear is my favourite brand of Router.
    I didn’t even know that they had Cameras even…
    Anywho, good luck to all who can enter! What a great Prize!

First thing’s first, remove all distractions bef First thing’s first, remove all distractions before driving your car. I’ve partnered with @TxDOT to remind you that all distractions – whether texting, eating, grooming, having a conversation, etc. – can be dangerous. #ad   That is why my family and I are also taking the AT&T It Can Wait pledge at http://www.ItCanWait.com/ to never drive distracted. Will you join us?   #HeadsUpTexas #EndTheStreakTX #ItCanWait

As I get older and wiser as a dad of 5, I realize parenting is mostly about preparation. That is why I am proud to partner with @TxDOT on educating my daughters about distracted driving.    As a young guy, I found myself preparing to be a dad, or at least a good dad. Now I find myself preparing my children to be good people and safe drivers on the road. Jaci and I have been going over distracted driving prevention tips and having a little fun with the new web-based AR game – Dart Those Distractions. It helps promote safe driving in a fun way.   Check out the link in my bio to play. #HeadsUpTexas #EndTheStreakTX #ad
