    We had bought a new router for our apartment because I was constantly having to reset my router due to poor signal. I haven't had any problems with this product and have had it for about 2 months now! I would highly recommend this for anyone!

    I do have the possibility of giving this product a 5 star rating if I had the corresponding NETGEAR Router. The connection should be a lot stronger when using a router and extender of the same brand. I will have to find out once I purchase one.

    Installed per instructions. Log into your router as instructed. You must call your internet provided only if registering a new modem. They don't care what is after their modem. You must power reset the modem & router as usual for changes.

    I had the prior version of this and it worked great. The new one is just as good with a little more range/speed. Solid choice.

    So far we have been pleased with this router. Speed is good and signal strength is usually good to excellent depending on how far away you are.

    In Longmont, Colorado where I live, the electric utility is run by the city, and 2 years ago the citizens of Longmont approved installation of 1GB service to homes in the city. This November I became part of the initial rollout of the service. The NETGEAR - Wireless-AC Dual-Band Gigabit Router with 4-Port Ethernet Switch was just the ticket for getting all of our devices 5 Android smartphones, 5 PCs, 1 Mac, 2 Chromecasts all up and running at amazing speeds. None of our devices is AC enabled, but when we get one, it will be ready to rock and roll.

    I was reluctant to buy Netgear again after my last Netgear router just pretty much died on me, but so far, so good. Install was easy and connected up without much hassle. Time will tell if this lasts, but, at the moment, no complaints.

    This router was really no better than the router I already had. I stream a lot of movies and shows and with my old router there was a lot of buffering, so I thought this router would help. It didn't change anything and I even use the ether net directly instead of the WiFi. Maybe the router is only useful if the device is also wireles AC instead of N or A, B. However the router is compatible with all so I assumed it would still work better. I feel like it was to much money for me to spend and not see a difference.

    Replaced old Linksey router. This router was a definite upgrade. Did not realize how bad my old router was. I upgraded to better modem also but before setting up noticed big difference with just router change using old modem.

    As soon as I plugged in and connected to the temp network, it changed my IP address as I run a double network in my home. It knew that I had another network running. Hasn't cut out once & keeps speeds the same all the time.

    The Best Buy salesman reccomended we try this product in place of our AT&T router. The range increased dramatically and the speed more than tripled. If you're having problems with range and/or speed you should try this product.
