Not quite worth the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this router because mine had reached the end of its life. It was difficult to set up with my modem but after getting that finished I haven't had to touch it again. The speeds are pretty good sometimes. When streaming Netflix's in the next room the quality isn't very good. It will still be grainy. For just surfing the internet it works just fine.

Posted .Hi, Kiba,
In order to experience uninterrupted streaming, it would help if you connect your streaming device to the 5 GHz network of the router. Also, we can try setting fixed channels on both networks to improve its wireless performance.
