    After trying two different NetGear routers I finally got this, needless to say I will never buy NetGear again! Easy set up, easy to get online, and has worked solid for a month now. No complaints so far.

    I'm a dinosaur when it comes to tech stuff, so I wanted something easy to set up, reliable and fast. The associate at the store-who was excellent-recommended this router over another for the same price, as he said it has more features and was the best for the money. He was right on all counts. It was an easy set up and has worked great. My last Linksys router lasted 10 years without problems until the end. If this one does that, then I will not bother with other brands.

    Bought this router to replace my parents aging route. This router has great features for the money and provides ample speed for multiple devices. Router was very easy to setup and the speed difference was immediately noticeably. Router provides two bands which can assigned to specific devices, those that stream a lot and those with the occasional stream. Recommend this router.

    I got this for the purpose of dual band since I was using my cable modem to only put out a 2.4Ghz signal. It works really well and I think I've only had to restart it once in the few months I've had it. However, it may just be my house but in the next room over my signal strength is weak (around -60 to - 65). Yes, I know location plays a role and so does the position of the antennas. Still not very strong after repositioning. I had to cut a can and make little dishes to focus the signal in that direction. Overall it's a great product and has a rather simple setup. Just don't freak out if you have a weak signal in various parts of your house without a wifi extender.

      Hi, 1313MockingbirdLn,

      Thanks for sharing your insights, and we appreciate the time you've spent in posting this review. We aim for our customers' satisfaction that's why we would like to make sure that the device is working on its maximum performance. To improve the range of your wireless network, we recommend to relocate the router in an open area free from possible interference that would block its capability to broadcast a much wider wireless coverage. We would also suggest to adjust the channels for both frequencies. For the 2.4 GHz wireless network, you may try to use channels 1, 6 and 11, and channels 36, 40, 44 and 48 for the 5 GHz. Should you need further assistance, reach out to us at [email protected] along with your contact details and the link to this post for reference. We would be more than happy to help.

      Regards,

    It was easy to setup and fixed all of my wireless problems I was having with my last device. It runs a little hotter than my past wireless router, but since it is out of the way it does not cause any problems at all.

    Runs Hot

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I gave this wi-fi router an average rating. It seems to be a very good router and powerful enough that I do not need a range extender - which saved me some money. The reason I gave it only 3 stars is because it runs hot on the bottom. So much so that I have devised a way to lift it off the desk top so that air can better circulate under it. I contacted the company and was asked if the router was smoking or giving off a burning smell. I responded "no" and was told, then it's OK. Not a very comforting response. If I could return it I would.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    This has been a good router and was very easy to set up. The only issue is I wanted to put my 3 TB drive on it to be a network drive, but it won't support drives that large. in fact it would not support my 2 TB drives either. I did get a 1 TB drive to work, but had to do a firmware update to even get the port to work. I had to contact support to find out the issue. The support was excellent. I would recommend this but be aware of it's limitations.

    Absolutely no cons to this router. Easy setup and easy to use after setup. I have about 11 devices (3 hardwired) along with a shared drive on the network and it works perfectly. Very fast speeds. Great features.

    A lot of people gave this budget router a bad review and I don't know why! Its a great budget router if you don't have internet faster than 100mbps. The ports on router are limited to 100mbps. So no matter how fast your internet is you can't get more than 100mbps out of this router. I have full signal strength in my 3 bedroom 1200 sq ft ranch home and I am pulling 90mbps from speedtest.net. No drops on the connection and zero problems with the router. I would recommend this router to anyone wanting a budget router as long as you don't have internet faster than 100mbps.
