    I had to buy one to replace spectrum's rent-to-have one and even though I get less mbps i still have 70-80 max which is more than enough for gaming and streaming.

    Our older router started losing signals, did a little research and bought this unit. Much stronger signal through out the house, great unit. Had a WiFi extender before, no longer have to use it.

    This router has worked fine for our three bedroom condo. Our laptops stopped freezing and being slow once we had this router installed. Don't need something expensive for a student condo.

    This is one of the routers recommended by Spectrum. Initially had some trouble interfacing with my modem but customer support at NETGEAR worked it out. Signal is strong throughout the house.

    This does as expected - No noteable loss of speed per hardware - with rigorous testing It is a limited router - but an effective one based off cost.

    My ISP technician suggested I upgrade to a dual-band router. Setup is easy. I don't need a lot of bandwidth, so this model is perfect for me.
