WOW!!!!! Easy Easy Easy, Plug and Play
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So Fast and easy to set up. Beware there is a 5G network that you have to also set the password to, but with new computers and phones the speeds are crazy fast. Just in love with it, great choice.

So far so good
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ordered this router on Thursday June 7th off Amazon and got it Friday, so far I'm really impressed with the device, I'm getting exceptionally great network speed on big file transfers and excellent range compared to the WNDR3700. I was debating whether to return the WNDR3700v3 I had and keep this one or the other way around, but as as soon as I set this up and upgraded to the latest firmware, I was dead sure which one to keep. The router has been going for 3 days straight without a hitch and hopefully will stay this way, seems pretty stable to me, been streaming HD movies from my main PC to the living room TV and out of my WDTV Live Hub over the network to that TV as well which is over 40 feet away from the router with no buffering at all, amazing! No need to buy a network extender anymore, which had been among my future plans to increase Wi-Fi coverage in the house. At some point today I was streaming Netflix on my bedroom TV and making a full system backup to Acronis Online backup service, while my dad was streaming another HD movie over the network off the main desktop PC, and my relative who is visiting us was using the Guest Network, al this activity simultaneously and all smoothly. Access to my external 500GB hard drive through ReadyShare seems to be faster than ever, same as to streaming content from it, VERY happy with my purchase so far!

Great wireless router
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Netgear 6300 is an update and upgrade from my previous Cisco Linksys. The older Linksys did fine but was starting to slow down in speed. This new simultaneous dual band works great. I'm just intermediate tech skill level, but set up was pretty easy, including our wireless printer. Signal is very good in my 3 level home and the speed is Awesome..even while the family is using multiple wireless devices.

Easy to setup for the average Joe
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was an excellent purchase at Best Buy. It was much cheaper than other stores I checked at the time. Got it home, skimmed the instructions and went to town setting it up. If you aren't doing anything sophisticated during setup it won't take you long to be up and running and still feel secure while online. I am certainly no authority on routers but this one does seem to have plenty of adjustments for the guys that love to tinker to get the best signal possible. I hope it last a long time since according to a program I downloaded I have the highest signal in the neighborhood no matter which channel I'm on or band, either 2.4 or 5.0 Ghz band. Personally I didn't see much of a speed difference which I thought I would but I have 5 devices running all the time and I haven't noticed a bit of lag in any of them.

Excellent router that's worth every penny
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been using this router for a few months, and it's excellent. I've gone through a handful of $40 routers before, so I was hesitant to spend so much on this one. However, it's true that you get what you pay for. This one can handle many devices (even when we have a party and give out the the WiFi password to everyone to us on their phones) and we no longer have an issues streaming multiple video services at once. It's also powerful enough that my phone connects the second I pull into the garage! Overall, excellent router.

Great router!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We purchased this to replace a failing router. Did a quick check on CNet and found it was recommended for speed and performance. Brought it home and set it up in minutes. We use it for streaming media to TVs, computers, tablets, etc. Our devices that support 802.11ac gained a huge jump in performance. Very noticable. For our other devices I did see an increase in signal strength, in general. Great router and we're very pleased.

Great router at good price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This router replaced an older Netgear router. It is quite an improvement in ease of setup and range. We have a 3 story house and router is in top level. However, all levels are adequately covered by wifi.

Good moderate priced router
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Quick and simple to set-up. Good coverage in my home. A big improvement over the 3 year old Netgear unit it replaced. Handles streaming to the TV with no problems. No problems after 6 weeks usage.
