    Needed to upgrade my old Netgear with new technology. This was simple to plug in and get connected to, and works great. Better signal, better controls than the old one.

    Device works so well compaired to the last one! It is connected to router that is in basement. We own lots of devices and live in larger place and no problems. Makes a difference when you have fiber optic offered by the ISP too.

    I was having problems hitting my daughter's room with my wireless connection, so I went to Best Buy to look up my options. Instead of buying a range extender, I opted for this model, better range, ability to accept faster speeds. It was ridiculously easy to set up. Within an hour, I had ~10 devices set up (laptops, game systems, phones and printers). Most importantly, I have had no problems getting reception anywhere in the house.

    This router was very easy to setup and start working. It has almost doubled my download speeds. I was happy that they price matched and saved me about $25. My first NetGear product and I have so far been well pleased.

    I am very happy with this Router. It is a dual band, and I am using the 2.4GHz frequency for most connections, and I am using my Firestick on the 5.0GHz. Everything works perfectly. I am not sure if I should be using the 5.0GHz for most of my connections, but everything works so I don't want to mess it up. Buffering or lag is rare and usually due to the weather when I am streaming.

    I bought this router to solve a problem at my parents house. It is a two story house with several users trying to access the web at the same time. Another issue was that the router located in the upstairs computer area lacked range to cover all the rooms on the first floor. After unwrapping and trying the default install I did have to call customer support to get installatin help to complete the process. This took only about 30 minutes. All issues with accessing thd web via the wireless devices on gthe first floor were solved

    This could not have been easier to configure just as a wireless access point, and even utilizes the WAN port, so all of the LAN ports are available for use. This is a great device for use as a wireless access point.

    I bought this router to replace an old Netgear that just was not able to keep up anymore. Since I began using this router I have not had any issues. I like the dual band option that it has, works really well for gaming.

    Pretty nice router, covers entire house (3 stories) and not a single dead spot. Only weird thing is the shape, it's a bit bigger/awkward but it works like a champ

    I generally buy Linksys routers, but decided to give this one a shot. I am very happy with this router, and would recommend it to others. The dual bands helps prevent lag times if you do a lot of streaming media.

    We recently upgraded our old router. When streaming video or running multiple wireless products, we had a lot of hesitation and constant reloading of video. This new router seems to have alleviated all those issues!

    The router is Great. It increased the previous 3 bars I was getting on one end of the house to 5 bars using wireless. I have now run CAT6a cable so it is a direct connection to my tv/ media centers. Setup is so simple, just insert the cd and everything is done for you. The interface for the router management is really simple. I don't know why they don't do this for the professional models I install? Best Buy in Folsom has been the worst customer service I have received. I will go elsewhere from now on.

    I was fed up with poor wireless routers so I did some research and decided to pick this up. Very pleased. The range I get is great and my connection never drops. Hopefully it's built to last but so far, so goo.

    This thing is great. We were having a lot issues with WiFi dropping on our previous router. This one is awesome. It's more than we typically like to pay for these, but I'm glad we spent the money on this one.

    I've had this installed for a month, the dozen or so items which use wireless in my home, are functioning perfectly. This is only a moderately priced item and could have not met my needs, It does so I am happy.
