    This is a great router for the average user, handles hard wired streaming as easily as wireless. Easy to setup, but also supports many of the more complex configurations.

    This router has definitely met my expectations. It is very easy to set up and I have not had any issues with it. I like that it automatically sets up a guest network too.

    This router has allowed my wireless Internet to be at tip speeds. This is helpful being that I pay nearly 100 a month on my Internet service. A good buy for the price.

    Recently my netgear router hit its six month birthday Oddly enough they don't give you any service after six months without wanting a ridiculous amount of money. I remembered my first lynksis router and how it lasted a long time and worked well for me. So I purchased another one it was easy to hook up and get going. Plus you get terh support for a year. I am very happy with it.

    Should have bought the non-wifi version

    This unit replaces a Linksys WRT 54G unit that lasted for 8 years before finally giving up the ghost. If this unit lasts as long I'll be happy. I had to break out my PC geek skills to get the unit to work at initial installation. I think this was due to the unit being a replacement unit for an existing network and not a new installation. The setup program (I think) assumes a new network is being created. Shouldn't have had to do much more than plug everything in and maybe give it the network name and set it up from IP 192.168.1.1. Had to jump thru hoops to get it to work using the install software you're forced to use. Once everything was setup correctly the unit has worked as advertised. I am happy with the purchase though I don't think the extra bells and whistles of the wi-fi version have any great value if proper network security is observed.

    Switched to cable and needed a router. An employee helped me pick this model out after learning our needs for the house. Easy set up and works awesome!

    Always enjoyed Cisco professional products. My last modem was an older model Linksys and it lasted about 8 years and only had to reset it a few times total ! This newer technology with the dual band appears to be faster and just as robust. I use it everyday from my home office and typically on a VPN constantly, so I would know if it got disconnected or not. Great manufacturer and a great product...

    I am not very knowledgeable about networking so this was perfect for me. Installation was very easy and it works great! We have about 1800 sq feet in our house over 2 floors and as many as 6 devices accessing it at a time. We don't have cable so there is a lot of online streaming through both a Roku & laptops as well as online gaming and the router has worked flawlessly. Highly recommend it.

    Needed something small, but with a good signal. Item works great, but if you need open NAT for multiple xboxes this is not the right unit.
