Upgraded my home entertainment and realized my buffering was due to an old wi-fi router. Upgraded in 30 minutes to no buffering and multiple devices in use, too. Everyone is happy and I sleep better, too. Great choice for home. Love the speed!

I moved and needed to buy a new router. So far, the connectivity and speed of this router have been excellent. However, I'm having an issue with its range.
The apartment is a longer 1BR, and it has cement walls. I feel like I should be able to connect without issue to the back of the apartment, even with the cement walls, but that has been an issue. My desktop pc, which has a good external wifi card, works fine. However, my laptop and phone get sporadic connectivity, even though they will read 2-3 bars.
I'm going to pick up an extender, which I hope solves the issue, but it has been an unforeseen problem.

Hi, Watapr,
This is not the router's expected behavior as it should provide a stable connection once it's set up. We can try setting fixed channels on both networks to help improve its wireless performance and avoid interference in your area.
Please get in touch with us at [email protected] so we can get you over to our Escalation Engineers. They'll guide you through the process and ensure that you can achieve the unit's full potential. Indicate your contact information and the link to this review for our reference.

I only knew that I needed a new one. A sales person approached me, asked me a few questions and ga r me a couple of recommendations, but said this would be the best. It works incredible for 3 smart tvs, 2 game systems, phones , a tablet and a laptop.

I have a smaller house, around 1 sq ft with a full finished basement and this router hits every corner with little drop off. It still has some drop off from room to room but not much. Definitely a good router for the price

I purchased this router after dealing with an interior one which often had to be restarted due to dropping signal. I installed and set up this myself I less than an hour. Since using the router, I haven't had to reset it once. The signal is strong and keeps me connected.

I bought a Bose SoundTouch system for my two-story house and have two pieces downstairs and two upstairs. It works strictly off of wifi and I bought this because the router I had wouldn't reach the units upstairs. This one does, but loses connection, and I will probably still have to get boosters.

I bought this router on the recommendation of the salesman at Best Buy. It was easy to install and took only minutes. It works with Comcast and have had no problems with wifi, my computer on printer since installing. The price was in the mid range.
