    The setup is very easy and fast. The instructions were easy to understand. I had no trouble connecting all my devices to it. At first I kept getting disconnected on my Air IPad. Then I realized their are two options regular and 5 G. When I connected to the 5G I haven't had any more problems. So now I am satisfied. That first few days I considered returning it til I figured out the 5 G. I wish it had a guest network like my previous Linkseys.

    I purchased this based on other reviews and so far it has been great. The set up is easy and love the software that came with it. It has 2.4ghz and 5ghz band as well as a guest login. Have multiple devices connected to it and it performes well. If you can get this on sale I would recommend it.

    I bought this to replace my N300 router since it started dropping. This is very easy to install and really handles my multiple Xbox's and other items hooked up to it. I love the Netgear Genie that helps set up the router. I would recommend this for home use!

    My router was old and đropping my WiFi signal constantly. Thought it was my ISP, maybe the modem, but it was my old Dlink. This new router is great. Multiple channels and guest networks if you want. It was very easy to set up and choose settings. Has not dropped the WiFi signal yet and I'm streaming movies downstairs with no issues. My dad even got one after I did and his is working very well too. At one time, on separate channels I might have Xbox one, 2 phones, and a tablet on the network. No interference issues yet,!

    My new laptop has AC wireless and my old router didn't. Wanted to see if a new router would really make a difference, and wow, lightening speed compared to the old b/g/n router. Setup was very simple and we've had no issues. Range is very good. Good product for the price.

    I read several reviews before purchasing the Netgear 1200 AC router. It was easy to install and my computer was instantly faster . I love it.

    The AC-1200 does the job quite well on both the 2.4 and the 5 Gigahertz bands. But the best thing about it is the software Genie that sits it up with absolutely no problem. None of the guessing at all the settings like we all used to have to do. You can bring up on your screen a map of your whole network - iPhone - iPod - iPad - other computers - printers - etc. You can also reconnect or change connections using the Genie program instead of using the program for wifi connections that comes with your computer. It is more fun to play with the Genie screen than it is to use your computer (slight exaggeration). It also has a "guest" feature so that you can use a different key to connect to the router which keeps the guest computer separate from your regular network. That feature is nice if you have a computer you bought second hand and you are not sure if it has a virus on it. I recommend this device.

    Netgear Never Disappoints!

    I had purchased a BELKIN router on the suggestion of a BB sales representative because it was the latest when I had intended to continue using NETGEAR. I struggled so much to get a stable connection on my dell laptop with BELKIN and it claimed to have the highest range for a large home, which was not the case. I would lose signal as soon as I moved downstairs. After much troubleshooting I decided to go back to NETGEAR. I purchased it online at a much cheaper price and waited about 3 days to receive it (although UPS misplaced my package and when I called they claimed to have delivered it to my address, which means that the driver signed off on my address without verifying it was in fact my address. Telephone rep did send me another one free of charge in overnight delivery so that made it better) and once the router was set up I had none, zero, zilch problems connecting to my laptop and signal strength was perfect! If you are searching for a router then go with NETGEAR because this router will not fail you and it is easy to troubleshoot some basic issues. Never choose anything but NETGEAR!

    The signal strength is a lot stronger than the old one, even when the desktop is in the conner of the furthest room. The 802.11 ac is perfect for the HD video streaming on my ipad air 2.
