    Signal range on this product was an issue so I also had to purchase the netgear range extender in order to get signal to the upper levels of my home. The set up and user interface was user friendly and was the reason I chose this unit over the amped wireless router (which by the way was marketed to blow the netgear away in range, epic fail for amped router). If you use a range extender with this device you should have a good experience (also simple set up).

    The sales person was beyond outstanding. He offer suggestions and alternatives. Both my daughter and I ended up purchasing the same item. He is worth keeping and paying incentives.

    We were looking for a router that would support 2 Xboxes at the same time, this does the trick. Router was recommended by the Geek Squad and so far works great. Price was right.

    After smaller routers would knock different devices off wifi this is a greater find. Also being dual-band is a great feature. Haven't had a problem since I upgraded to it!!

    I always used Linksys routers, but I'd need a new one every few years. So this time I tried the Netgear. It got good reviews, and a friend recommended it, so I got it. I also tend to get the top of the line or nearly -- it was VERY easy to set up -- practically plug n' play. The instructions were clear, my Mac found its signal, I signed in, and we were in business. The genie software is a little odd but it works ok. Try this one!
