    Got it to connect computers that need a wired connection, and it was fairly cheap and worked well for that. No idea how the wireless is but I did not need it for that.

    I purchased this router on the advise of the salesman however when I brought it home, I found that I didn’t need it, so I returned it.

    I purchased this for my parents. They have an older computer, so installation took a while. I got help through the APP and breezed through the process. Great product.

    Took a little longer to setup (I was trying to link it to an existing router, but eventually gave up), but once it was up and running it has been trouble free. Good strong signal.

    The best in its class in my opinion. I can add as many devices while configuring the users and controlling the bandwidth.

    Lacks advanced features of the AC1700 And beyond, but if you’re looking for a budget router, you’d be well served here.

    I bought this item to replace my old N router and it does very poorly. I though AC technology is supposed to be better, but that's not true. Oh well, I got this item on sale so now I have to suck it up. It does badly on the 2.4 gh; worse than my old N router. I also changed the channels and it helps somewhat. I guess people have to many open channels nowadays, hogging all the airwaves, and for no reason!

    It would real simple, if Netgear gave you a CD for the insulation of the unit. No you have to go crazy finding where to get the device to work
