    I've been using his router for a few days now. Set up was easy and fast. Haven't had and drop out gets or any issues yet. Guest access is useless. Had my friend log into the guest access and the speed was slow if it even worked. Has all th features I need. Gives me full internet speed that I get from my provider.

    This product was recommended to me by the Best Buy sales associate, and I bought it there on sale. I was pleasantly surprised by its outstanding Wi-Fi range at both channels (2.4 GHz and 5 Ghz). I was thrilled to get on my new laptop's WiFi connection the cable modem's max available speed of nearly 230 Mbps, which is the same as if it were on the Cat-6 Ethernet cable, especially since Time Warner Cable told me not to expect above 150 Mbps on a WiFi connection. Wow!!

    All of the devices in my house are hard wired except for my printer. I was working one day and couldn't access my printer. After a call in to the Geek Squad (thank goodness for black tie coverage) I realized my router had finally bit the big one. I went to bestbuy.com and reviewed their products, and made a trip to the store to pick this one up. It was an easy set-up, and a nice upgrade to my equipment.

    Great upgrade for my home network

    I was looking for an upgraded router for my home network. My old router had to be reset at least once a week. This one was easy to set up and has been running for one month so far w/o a reset. Works great in a mixed environment with macs, pcs, iphones, and Brother & HP printers. Compatible with my VPN router from work too. Rated it 4 stars because it works great and was easy to set up. The only improvement could be with the range. I have a 2500 sq ft home (2 stories) and it doesn't cover the entire house. I had to set up a range extender for complete coverage. Other than that, I'd definitely recommend it as a great wireless router.

    Had an old Linksys WRT54G router and replaced it with this one. Very easy setup. Very fast speed. Works perfectly with my new smart TV. Video streams seamlessly. Multiple antennas allow it to be placed in a tight spot and not lose much if any signal strength.
