    I have looked into everything I could and at a couple random times a day the router just drops connection on every device in the house for a few seconds. Real pain with my chromecast as I have to reboot it every time my router drops.

    It took my son about 15-20 minutes to get the router set up and registered. He said it was basically just a few mouse clicks. Router is working great. I have had no issues with internet access.

    Great router for a simple home network. It was very easy to setup, and everything on my house is connected to it; 2 computers(1 wired, 1 wireless), and blu-ray player(pandora, netflix, cinema now).

    Needed this to replace another router that was getting old. Looked for a device that would suit my needs for multiple devices throughout the house. I've setup many a router in the past and this setup is cake. I would definitely encourage folks to buy this.

    The 2.4GHz network performance is ok (could be better) giving 20 Mbps on average from a 75 Mbps internet connection. The 5GHz network is excellent giving the full 75 Mbps from the ISP. Range for both networks is excellent.

    I love the easy setup and the way it works right out of the box, when you put in the disk to follow step by step. Great job. Also the power of the wifi is awesome. I give it 5 out of 5 stars.

    this supports three laptops and tablets as well as our cell phone internet use and at times all are going at the same time without a reduction in service. Great range I can reach the end of my block and have internet service on my phone or tablet.

    This device was a replacement to a device we purchased seven years ago - so many features and so easy to set up and use. I am able to control the times the different devices have access to wireless, which is better than unplugging the wireless.

    After doing a lot of research, looking for the best "bang for buck" dual band router for my home and home theater environment, I found this little beauty.which I primarily bought with Reward Zone points. All I did was plug it in, run the CD, and voila! Only problem is that a guest account comes preconfigured and turned on, so that's not so good, but it's a snap to turn off. I live in an low-band-saturated apartment complex, and was getting interference with my old TrendNet, but this is just fine.
