I bought this router to replace a combo modem and router. The range is not great, I'm going to have to either hard wire or add an additional router to get the range we need.

Worked for a week then no internet service. Had to call customer service and have the router reprogrammed. Not as good as my last linksys router. Hoping it improves with age.
