The AC series are the new generation of routers. The router is a bit pricier than my original budget. However, I am very pleased to see that it covers every corner of my house and beyond (porch, backyard and garage).

Moving to Chicago allowed me to update my streaming capabilities to 75 Mbps and this router totally gets the job done. However, I believe the salesman in the store over sold me.

Works great on the upper levels of our home, but is really problematic the farther away you get. Overall the speed is fine, just not the speed we're used too.

I got new internet service and needed to upgrade my previous wifi. Went to the store and the salesman wanted me to buy the most expensive. I asked about this one because it has the same specs as the expensive one, but he didn't know anything about it. That being said, you get two different options of receiving, as well as, a guest host. Range is about a football field and still two bars. I would recommend this product for the money.

Works great in our 2500 SF home on both floors of our home. Seems to keep a fairly even signal strength all over the house.

The wifi router you've been waiting for if you've been waiting for a wifi router that will connect your PC, Mac, XBox, iPad, and a room full of early 20 somethings' phones. Make sure you change the default administrator password, if you don't know what that is you'd better have Geek Squad set it up for you. I can't tell you how many people change their wifi password but don't change the default admin password. I can't tell you because I don't know. I'm guessing it's pretty high, like more than half.

I bought this router because my PlayStation would not let me play online with my old router. The signal strength was not strong enough. Now that I am using this router I do not have that problem anymore.

The router is great! It boosted my wifi signal and now I have full bars in every room. But just know that it only sends an AC signal if your device accepts it. But it will broadcast at full N strength.
