This is a good gigabit router with enough ports to be useful. Eight ports were never enough for me, but this router works well and is nice and fast. Installation is easy, but it would be a lot neater if the cables connected to the back of the device and not the front.

This box was so easy to set up and get running. Even though I have many wireless products, I get instant and super fast speeds using my 100GB Cable Internet Speed while hard wired.

I use this item to network up to 7 devices (including 5 computers) in my home office. It is a solid performer and has greatly reduced latency between devices. It would be nice if it had an on off switch, but I can always pull the plug if I want to turn if off.
