    One of the easiest routers I ever installed. The moment it's paired with a modem and plugged into a computer, the router is instantly recognized and goes into an auto install wizard via web browser. I did, however, adjust some settings to my liking. So far I have had a very strong signal with no drops in connectivity. The router is located on the second floor of my 2700sqft house, and I stay connected in my back yard on the opposite end of my house.

    My brother, the computer whiz, recommended this router for me. Similar options were much pricier or carried lower reviews. Ordered for store pickup and was ready within an hour. Quick, courteous curbside pickup due to covid issues. Super simple to set up and get running. Very light weight. 2G and 5G options are great for a multi-functioning household.

    It came highly recommended by the sales guy. I've only been using it a month now, which is why I gave it a 4 star instead of a 5 star, but it is living up to it's hype.

    nice price and easy to set up. bought it for my daughter's college apt and seems to work well with her phone, tv, laptop and tablet all connected. one thing that bummed me out was that the directions said to scan the QR code on the sticker on top of the unit - guess what? no sticker with QR code. nonetheless, east to set up

    I bought this router as my previous one suddenly tanked. I checked out the specs and saw how it was rated by others and decided to give it a go. I have been happy with it as it's specs are better than my previous router. This also maximizes my current modem as well as future, faster modems. The range is satisfactory and it can handle all of my devices, as well as additional devices from friends and family.

    We recently went from 2 internet users to 7. Our previous router couldn't handle the increase. The person at the store was very helpful when I explained what I was looking for.

    I live in a two-story home and this router can cover about 2,500 sq feet. It's a solid product. I don't have to reboot it frequently like I did with my previous router. It just works and stays up consistently. I do wish the AirPrint capabilities it has would work without having to run the NETGEARGenie app on my desktop (I have a non-native AirPrint printer).

    I upgraded from a G Router to this one. Huge difference! Set up was a breeze! We use one band just for our Xbox One. Games no longer lag! We run everything else off the other band and everything seems to run smoothly. I've had this for about 2 months and have not had to restart. My old router needed restarted at least once a day. I have a family of 3 with 2 tech savy teens. This router is perfect for us!

    Well I have had this a month and it was easy to setup and install. Has worked great with know trouble in a 2,700 square foot house. I did one longer cords and mounted it in the hallway as close to the middle of the house as I can. I used my best by points and got half off. If your an electronic nerd the best buy card is a great rewards cards! And no this is not a fake post I'm a real person!
