    In my experience with this router so far, there's really nothing negative to say about performance. It's new and pretty much top of the line for home routers. In fact, if anything, it might be overkill for most homes (it's supposed to cover up to 10,000 square feet). I have it set-up in my home office and wow, totally impressed. My wifi network is strong and stable. Set-up is a breeze, and I love the features of a smart router. Among other things, you can see and control who has access to your Wifi network. The one possible downside to this router is its size. It's pretty big and weighs about 6-7 pounds. I think my previous router was about half that size. Give it a year or two, and new routers with the same or better features will be lighter and more compact, I'm sure. But for now, this is it. This thing is fantastic, and I would recommend it to anyone who has need of a powerful router (for covering a large area, multiple devices, gaming/streaming use, etc.). However, it's probably not necessary for the average home. Also, keep in mind that even the best router is only as good and capable as the modem it's connected to. If you have a low-end, cheaper modem, you will not receive the full benefits of this (or any) router.

    It was ok, I actually had to return mine because it was defective. But when it did work it had great range, very far, that was an up. The price was ok, I was able to price match for 300, I ended up buying a newer model linksys router

    We are at the end of the bandwidth line in the country, so buffering was our normal. Also, because of this, our cells often didn't utilize the router...resulting in monthly data overages...$30-$60. After one billing cycle...no overages!!! And, I am upgrading the modem asap..stay tuned!
