    A simple router to set up with some advanced options for 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. Works like a charm right out of the box! Haven't experienced any interference from other routers on the same channels, and there are a few in the neighborhood.

    Use this in a decently sized apartment and my WiFi is very fast and reliable. Haven’t had any issues and the app for setup is outstanding making this extremely easy to use and fix any issues that come up at a click of a button on your phone or tablet

    I am very satisfied with the router that I recently purchased at Best Buy. We live in an area with no wi-fi service and my computer-lap-top was very SLOW to respond taking up to 20 minutes to connect. With this new router it is almost instant and I am very happy with that.

    I never had stable wifi with my spectrum wifi router. I purchased this one and hooked up to a basic spectrum router. My wifi signal now transmits through the whole house and even into the back yard. Its fast and easy to setup.

    This router is great for my apartment! I have a relatively small apartment (one bedroom), but I can have all of my devices hooked up to it and it does not slow down! I have been on my computer, cell phone, and tv watching Netflix and still get a very strong signal! Great purchase!

    I finally found a router that works. I hooked it up turned on my laptop, connected to it, and followed the directions how to activate it. I literally went through like four other routers and could not get them to work.

    Bought this to replace an aging Linksys model, very simple to set up essentially plug ‘n’ play for Windows anyway. Coverage appears to be farther and having the dual bands is definitely a plus to let all of our various devices get on the home wi-fi network. No problems so far!

    This was my answer to make my personal office wireless on our LAN. For this I was just interested in connectivity and being able to communicate with all our LAN devices. Speed is good for my purposes and since the router is in my office the distance was not an issue.

    Good router, bad netgear support

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Bought this router but didn't want l the extra software installed on my computer. Called netgear for a workaround the extra software to configure router. Of course techie had accent so I couldn't understand him. When I did understand and he wasn't able to remote into my computer I asked him for the generic IP address as I know it for linksys but had no idea it was the same for netgear. He wouldnt give it to me and instead insisted I couldn't figure my router by myself. I told him forget it I was taking it back if this was the support I was going to get. I looked at my gateway used it and voila I was able to configure it. Lousy support. Would rather have me return it than open a browser I inserting gateway!!! Router itself is awesome!!!! Glad I figured it out on my own.

    I had thought to purchase a lesser model, but the sales clerk suggested I get this one because of the increased capabilities and my wife said OK. Price had been one of my criteria, but when the boss says OK, you get it. I am glad I did! It has performed well!
