    Bought this router in Dec 2015 and just had to replace it this month. It lasted about as long as any typical electronic device should. We only had a few problems during that time with it dropping connection, but we could usually get it fixed. Other than that, it worked well.

    I live in a two bedroom apartment. It provided great signal strength. I love it allows you to prioritize your devices. It also gives you the option to setup a guess network. This way you can ensure your devices are the only devices using the fastest network. To top it all off I love that I can control all of this on my cell phone! Cool!

    This router was really one of the easiest I have ever set up. I recommend it to all of my friends. I also found the range impressive. Other routers only reached partial areas. But this router provides excellent service throughout. And the free app on my phone lets me observe and monitor connections when I am not home. Also an amazing feature.

    Hoping to strengthen WIFI across house

    We were hoping to strengthen the WIFI across the house space and was going to buy a repeater instead of this new WIFI product. Well, it has not strengthened the WIFI but did increase the speed substantially. Not sure if we are going to keep the product, as it is not providing the service we wanted.

    Great router

    I received this product for free as part of Belkin's Friends + Family Program This router is advanced and not your typical router that you're used to back 5 years ago. The setup was relatively easy and straightforward as I ran the auto setup with ease. Along with the setup, the interface is quite friendly and easily manageable and accessible via ethernet and WiFi. You can setup the router with your mobile device if you don't have a computer handy and I thought this was a neat feature and a plus for me. This router is fast and I have 5+ devices connected to it and it did not lag for me. The coverage is nice and so is the performance. You can even access the router remotely away from home and typically you have to manually set that feature but this router does it as a built in feature. What was a minor con for me was that this router is bulky and the middle black glass/plastic does not show anything. It would be nice to have a some sort of LED display of indication of the router status. Overall, a great router.
