    Bought this to replace my 4500 R2 model. What a disaster! Will not keep devices connected and forget about devices located on the far end of the home. Requires reboot all the time. Finally gave up and returned it for the EA8500 which has been flawless since installed.

    I don't know much about routers, but I bought this for our cable/internet provider to hook up. Our wifi works much better than it did prior to the switch to this router. We use it for a household of 3 adults and only have issues with streaming when we have 3+ devices streaming videos or games at one time (PlayStation, phones or computer, and smart tv). But this may be due to the internet we have selected to pay for through our provider.
