    I love this product since it provided a stronger signal through the house. It helps me get more out of my connection, and I am pleased with it so far.

    Installed this for someone that was using a very old router and only needed average-low speeds in a residential setting. We were up and running in less than 5 minutes.

    Works with no issues and speedy internet depending on what you use of it is. May not be the best option for streaming multiple devices, gaming etc.

    Great router handles 4-6 devices live streaming on 25mbps connection with no delay or lag. No down time in over a month. No connection issues. Works great out of the box. Would highly recommend.

    Needed a new router as old one would not support our usage. Has worked well, and there is a noticeable difference in speed. Not bad for the price.

    horrible. does not work as advertised

    I recently bought this because the guys at the store said it would work with the 200/200mbps FiOs plan, which is currently their slowest package. It is advertised as working for speeds of 300 to 700mbps, so not their gigabit plan, but it should work for the plan that I ordered. The tech came and installed my service, but he tested the speed on multiple devices and he said that it was testing at around 140mpbs. He said it should test over 200mbps since with the 200mbps plan because they actually give you 300. You wont get the full 300 over wifi, but it should be over 200. This is also in a studio apartment so it was very close to the router. He did his tests right next to the router. He did not try to convince me to rent the router through FiOs. He recommended a different router that a lot of customers purchase and he has tested many times and always tests well. That router is the TP-Link Archer AC1750 and it is $11 more than this router. I have ordered it from bestbuy.com since it wasn't available in my local store and I will return this one.

    I upgraded to this router because my linksys all of a sudden was not compatible with my firesticks. I have always used linksys but decided to try another brand.

    Works really well in AP mode and super simple to program it into that mode! Logging into it is easy and then it’s just one click into AP mode if you have a bigger network!

    I needed to purchase a new router and modem, after there was a power surge and it blew both items. I decided to try a combo, since it takes up less room. So far so good!
