    It is a good product but not great. It is for simple use, watch tv. No gaming or extensive use.

    I bought this as a replacement for a Netgear wireless router that was about 4 years old. This unit provided better Wi-fi coverage in our 2 story home than our old router.

    I am pretty internet electronics illiterate. After reading the reviews on bestbuy.com, I figured it would work well. I was right! I have constant stable internet with no interruptions.

    Make your TV a smart TV without paying the high price of a new TV! Approximately $60 and you have a Smart TV with all the apps you need to get Netflix, Hulu etc!!

    My other router kept kicking me off the internet on my laptop. Was not sure if a new one would help, but so far so good! Had this router for over a month now, and all is good!

    I didn't buy more than I needed this time. I used to buy the most costly and this one has less range but I no longer reach out to adjacent apartments.

    Decent router, used one year and replaced with the new AC1200 due to troubleshooting advice from ISP. Turns out router was good, modem was bad. New AC1200 solved issue.

    This replaced an older Linksys wireless router. It has both 2 and 5 G wireless so it works with our older equipment as well as the new stuff. Easy to set up and use.
