    Love this router for running a 5G signal to my Xbox one and PC. It's got pretty solid signal strength thats comparable to the Nighthawk series of Netgear routers. I will say having dual band was main purchasing decision here. We have quite a few people in the house and it does a good job at managing video/gaming on 5G and everything else on the standard signal.

    Some connection speed improvement

    TV Wi-Fi connection improved considerably, and computer speed improved somewhat only by cable connection: enough improvement to not return for exchange. Perhaps a computer-savy user will get better results.

    I love my Netgear Wireless Router! It does a great job connecting my computers and phones for the wifi. The salesman really knew his products to suggest this particular router for my needs. Thank you Best Buy!

    It solved my internet connection problems. I had problems staying connected and having to reconnect all the time. Netgear lets me connect and run more devices without any problems. Thanks for your help!!!

    Only reason I bought another Netgear product was because the fist one that I bought five years ago, was no longer to keep up with the extra devices that I was trying to use. I am a fan of Netgear products

    Not as good as I expected. It's not a plug and use like my old D-Link. I had to upgrade my whole house with something more updated. I am able to use with multiple devices...once you get them hooked up.

    I thought I was buying the latest model as the one that I had stopped working. Instead it was the model in-between the cheaper and the higher price model. I had the better model before. This one isn't as fast and doesn't throw the signal far enough to reach all of my devices. I've had to purchase an extender to get better range. Next time I will do more extensive research before buying. Just because it's on sale doesn't mean it's the best model to buy.
