    I couldn’t figure out how it worked at first but then someone helped and it works for a few but not more than two people. If you need more than two people to use it then you need to get a higher ac

    We bought the router when we were about to move. I needed to keep internet and phone service at the old place, but wanted to set up television and internet at the new house. This was an inexpensive solution that took care of us.

    I found a sizable selection of routers in stock at the store. With the assistance of the sales person, I was able to select the most appropriate unit to match my requirement for a very basic, standalone router for a home network.

    My previous Netgear device was very old and I kept getting messages that I wasn't connected to the internet. Since buying this new one I have had no more problems getting connected. A good purchase for me.

    My personal router died and I was forced to find a new router the same day. I read the reviews and settled on this router and boy am I glad I did. I have absolutely nothing negative to say. The router works perfectly.
