This router is extremely easy to set up. Very user friendly while still having all the controls, bells, and whistles you need to ensure your home network is secure. Easily allowed me to set up the two different groups PLUS a guest account without any headaches whatsoever. We live in a 2200 square ft home and the coverage is phenomenal. Has been very reliable too.

So far so good. Able to keep up with everything we have going at once. 4 I phones and Apple TV sometimes both at the same time and a teenager on a laptop and does not slow things down much. Range is good. We have a 1150sq ft home and we have it central in our basement. See photo. The difference in speeds is from th normal to the 5G line.

We bought the Netgear 600 version two years ago but since then there have been many more devices added to our system and the tv was having issues. I like the fact that the Netgear 1600 is tall and not wide and flat like most others because the dest that it is on is small and this one does not take up as much room. Other features are that it hides the wires better, it is easy to set up and it looks great!
