    For an economical router, this has exceeded my expectations. I just use my computer for personal stuff, not gaming or anything like that, and it more than meets my needs. I highly recommend it for a basic router.

    All of a sudden our internet started cutting out, and we had to determine if it was the router or the modem. In the end, the router ended up being the issue, so we bought this one and haven't had any issues. Good value, super user-friendly to plug n play!

    Decent little router that I'd recommend if you are on a budget. Speeds were consistent and setup was easy. Only issue is the ethernet ports wont push past 100mbps.

    Easy set up. Would have liked to have more written information about the product, like trouble shooting so I don't have to go back and forth from page to page to find out what I needed to do because I had an extra cord, so I plugged it in too. Works good.

    It doesn't have the same range as the cable wifi router but it does more than adequately with speed. I saved the wifi rent from cable.

    The NETGEAR AC1000 Dual Band WiFi Router works great. Very easy to setup. Once its up, just let it do its work and forget about it. I've had great experiences with all NETGEAR routers and this hasn't disappointed. I purchased this for my daughter in college. Great buy!

    When we cannot spend on the top model of a brand device or even the middle range, it is pleasant to know that your money for the cheapest / smallest version still nought you wialit and reliability. That's Netgear for you.Best Buy has many "best brands".

    We bought this router for our camper and the range is amazing. We can still connect to it from our friends' campsite 75 feet away. I'm to thinking of buying another one for home.

    I purchased this to replace my grandmother's old router. She now has wifi coverage all through the house and into the back yard. She doesn't have to restart it weekly like she did with her old one. This is a great router for the price and easy to set up.

    Honestly giving it 5 stars for the ease of set up! Not quite strong enough for my apartment or the usage we have, but I added an extender and that has helped a lot! Would upgrade to the bigger one from the same brand because it’s honestly the best set up

    Not was this router affordable, it has the traditional 2.4 ghz and the increasingly popular 5.0 ghz. So far my connection and signal has remain constant, which is all I can ask for.

    Linksys has come a long way this product was very easy to use. I bought this to create a local shared drive across the wireless network. Basically a private cloud. It took 25 minutes from opening the box to connecting to computers.

    Setup was a bit of hassle requiring the Netgear mobile app and the creation of an account, but now that it's running it works well and has had solid performance.
