Previously owned Lynx's routers. Netgear was easier to set up and has operated flawlessly. It functions well over all.

Mother-In-Law uses this at her farm with her tablet and has no issues. The initial set-up was a little confusing with the wireless satellite intranet provider but the Netgear help line was awesome.

I bought this router to replace an older Netgear product that had finally quit working. A Best Buy employee recommended this particular model as a good one for a larger (two story) house, and it lives up to the recommendation. Being a retired system administrator, I don't use "wizard" type configuration options, and I appreciate that Netgear doesn't change things around too much from model to model. Configuration was straightforward.

Got it as an alternative to wifi for the new Xbox, would probably work great if I could plug it into the walls but this old hous doesn't have the third prong plug, still works good usually

I was impressed with how easy I was able to set up the router and get it working. I had another router that I replaced and each of my existing devices had no trouble connecting to the new router at all. I do wish the wiring connections were on the bottom or sides of the router instead of at the back. I have a location in my basement where all my wiring is and I had to build a shelf to place the router on and it would have been nice to be able to mount the router on the wall.

so i've always had some sort of connection issue with routers id purchase, but this one hasn't failed me at all. setup is totally easy and fast so you'll be up and running in no time.
connection stays strong, distance is great and i dont feel like i need to reboot it as much as i did with other brands such as Dlink, Trendnet or some other cheaper brand.
so i'll probably be sticking to the Netgear brand from now on.

Had to replace the most expensive Netgear which was a gift as it was reported to be easy victim to power surges. It must have been fried cause it suddenly stopped working two days after storms

Works great. Upgraded to this one since my 2nd level wasn't getting strong signal. This fills the whole house in a 3 level split home.
