    My husband went to the store and bought this after our old router stopped working. It seems to work very well and we no longer have to use our range extender!

    I bought this one to go with a modem when Comcast came to install the internet service. It saves me money from not using Comcast modem and router.

    Our house is a row house so it is very long. Yet the signal is very strong throughout the home even with multiple users. I highly recommend this.

    This is a good ac router for the price. Range is okay mirrors in my bathroom really effect my signals negatively, but that's normal for routers I guess!

    I got this router to replace my old $25 Linksys G router. The wireless performance is amazing! High speeds, really reliable until it isn't. I have lately had to reboot this router about once a week to keep the buffering to a minimum. I have 100mb from Comcast and for some reason all of a sudden I can load videos and the speed is at 100kb until I reboot it?? I am really sad because for the first few months it was rock solid.

      Hi, Chapi,

      We appreciate your feedback. Losing the signal easily when moving the position of your router is very uncommon. Allow us to take care of this challenge. To achieve stable connection, we recommend to reflash the firmware of your router using a wired PC, followed by doing a factory reset an. Then to fully maximize the wireless performance of your device, we suggest modifying the channels for the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wireless networks, to whatever suits best with your existing network environment. Should you need further assistance, get in touch with us at [email protected] along with your contact details and the link to this review for reference. We would be more than willing to lend a hand.

      Regards,
