    Great Router for a full household!

    I noticed an immediate difference in internet speed on all devices. This router also has a wider radius than previous generations, as devices throughout the house work significantly better. 3 streams used to slow down our internet speed but now 8+ different streams at once doesn't slow any stream down at all!

    All pros

    Better than the routers your internet providers lend to you. Built in VPN through the service app, wider range coverage, and better speeds.

    So glad it was easy

    Routers do pass away. Mine did. I went back to NETGEAR for a Nighthawk and couldn't be happier. This model has the power to get around the house. Setting these routers up in the past has been challenging, to say the least. IP address, excessive passwords and steps. This router has a SIMPLE-to-use APP, and setting up passwords and extenders was a breeze. It's all in the APP. I am sticking with NETGEAR and with this one, I am ready for FIBER internet. For whatever it's worth, Best Buy made getting it pretty easy. Stream on!
