    Great features for a residential router

    This router has all the features a residential installation requires. High speed Wi-Fi, 1 GB Ethernet ports, USB 3.0 for network shared HDD storage, guest Wi-Fi network. Must have internet access to properly set up. Smart Wi-Fi for remote management is nice, but it sometimes gets in your way when you want to log into the router locally.

    I needed a gigabit wired router for my home setup. This was the cheapest router offered at Best Buy that had gigabit LAN ports (4 of them). I can't comment on the wireless part of the router because it is disabled and I don't plan on using it. The router is pretty stable (I've only had to reboot once). As soon as you get it setup, be sure to update the firmware to the latest version.

    Not good for networks with multiple routers

    I have a network with two routers. One is configured as a gateway and the second is serving as a wireless access point and hub for my devices on a separate floor of my house. My access point router died and I so I tried to replace it with this one. I tried for hours to get it to work and it just refused to work the same way in my network as the Netgear unit it replaced. I took this unit back and exchanged it for an Asus router at the same price. The Asus router is only 802.11n, not 802.11ac, but I had it setup and working perfectly on my network in about 10 minutes. So far, so good on the Asus router... I think this router would work out just fine on a network with a single router. The basic setup options a simple to understand and configure and digging into the advanced options gives a lot of options for manual configuration too.
