    The Netgear 1600 router is excellent. The set up is very easy and the signal is strong. I had it up and running within about 10 min. Just remember that you have to reconnect any devices on your network if you decide to change the name of your network...it's not the router's fault.

    I purchased this item in place of my old one. With the guidance of a very kind salesman who seemed to know which Router would be the best for my needs. So far I have found it to be performing well for me,plus it has a nice SLEEK look. (I guess that knew what he was talking about!)

    This by far the Best Router I have purchased ever. It was a so simple to set up. It has the power you need for your home garage, basement. I have WiFi in my yard and on our large deck. Amazing how far I have a strong range to work with. Internet on laptop and My new Surface are faster. Great unit.

    Bought this router to replace an older D Link model. We were having trouble with gaming on the kid's computers and being able to run computers and Hulu at the same time. Bought this model on the recommendation from the Best Buy employee and the whole family is very happy with the selection. No more lagging on the games and no more buffering on Hulu. Highly recommend this model if you have multiple computers and Hulu/Netflix.
