    I expected a greater WiFi range than I got. Disappointed.

    Serves its purpose. I don't know too much about these things. We have not had any issues with it. I know sometimes it is better to buy a higher quality router but I don't think for out type of usage that anything more than this is necessary.

    This router was purchased to improve the internet connection while my son was in college due to poor connection and reliability in his dorm! This thing has been a lifesaver and has more than paid for itself!

    Basic router, no frills for the majority of internet users. Has a companion app for setting up and controlling the WiFi. Recommended for people that do not wish to pay the rental fees for internet service. It will pay itself off very fast compared to the rental.

    After a little bit over a year, my Ac1000 router stopped working. I had good service from the router for the year with no complaints. Fortunately, for me, I purchased an extended warranty for the router so the replacement router will cost me nothing.

    Good device for your internet connection.

    The internet provided by our apartment complex is shared with three other roommates. This device uses the same connection but gives you your own channel to connect your devices including printers and TVs. It's a great way to avoid others streaming on your TV or accidentally sending their documets to your printer.

    Had a 10 year old Netgear router that was always needing resetting. Bought this and it took about 2 minutes to connect our Firesticks, smart tv and phones. It's been a couple of weeks now and have had zero issues.

    Connectivity has been solid, havent had any issues. Also this device was pricematched with Walmart at about $15 less with that being said this was a great deal as some of the routers can be considered overpriced.

    The salesman was very helpful. I also learned a few things from him on how the router works. Very nice guy! I never had a chance to see if the router worked. Referring to the ease-of-use, Cox was adamant that the router would not work.

    If you have a larger house this may not be your router . I had to get the 4 antenna amplified version to address WiFi strength But this would probably be good for a house that is leas than 2k sq feet

    Enable me to wired connections of an office's strictly wireless network and maintain the wireless network as well. While Wi-Fi frees you from needing to be plugged into a network, some devices require a wired connection. This device handles both jobs very well.

    Purchased for our business. We are in a metal building with metal studs. Had lots of dead spots. I think the lack of performance is due to the building construction and not the product.

    I didn't use it very long, but the little bit that i used it, it worked fine. Netgear is always good quality. I have Verizon FiOS and i use the lates FiOS G3100 router and it works great.

    I use these as access points and they’re a good inexpensive network add on. For most home owners they deliver all the speed necessary and for the price they deliver a good signal range.
