    It has been a good router so far. However, it is not quicker in speed than the $60-ish Netgear router we had previously. I was hoping for quicker download speeds and game play, but that was not the case.

    and with the ease and speed of this one, I wish I would've done it years ago! It also has a sleeker profile so it's not as noticeable.

    It won't charge 2 phones at the same time. I tried plugging in 2 Android phones, and it alternated charging between the two. It works OK if it's charging a phone and something smaller like a FitBit.

    Was having problems with last router (probably because it was over 5 years old) and had to reset daily in order to be able to connect to the internet. Have not had any problems in a month with new router. I guess it pays to replace every four years or so. We delayed partly because we did not want the hassle of setting up the router to work. The new router set itself up by connecting wireless to my computer directly right from the start. All I had to do was pick the passwords and the rest was done for me. Very easy.

    This is a solid WiFi Router. Highly recommend it. It's my go to router for small businesses and homes. Durable and works well. Normal life span is about 2 years which is typical of most routers.

    More than adequate if only one user, however, if two computers access the router at the same time, users will experience slow or intermittent internet access for some applications, such as Skype.
