    bought this for my mom to connect her iPad and TV service box and internet phone with modem. Old router from local landline phone company could not keep internet phone staying online. Netgear keeps the service without interruption.

    The aspect of my getting good coverage (router is a long way from my laptop) is the only thing I am pleased with after having it for 2 years. I ws not happy with the auto setup and the manual setup was designed for a techie.....not for the regular user. After rebooting it a few weeks ago, I now see "Not Secure--routerlogin.net" and am unable to find out why. The NETGEAR website help area is a total waste!! I am not totally thrilled with this router! I don't recommend this router UNLESS you are a techie who can set it up correctly.

    Got the router for an older friend who lives on the first floor of a 5 story assisted living facility. Needless to say the Wi-Fi peeters out by the time it gets to her. So by adding the router and plugging in from the wall, she increased her ability to use her phone and tablet while in her bedroom.

    Beware NETGEAR will throttle down your speed

    This thing worked good until it was out of warranty and support. They throttle down the speed and want you to pay $100/year to increase your speed. This practice should be illegal. Best Buy should stop selling NETGEAR. I came to visit my daughters in college and wasted my time troubleshooting their throttled down unit. I threw it in the trash and bought a new non-NETGEAR router.

    I could not have asked for a smoother, more efficient, and professional installation. Timothy not only answered questions, he anticipated them. He is a credit to Best Buy and the kind of guy who keeps we boomers coming back.
