    We were having problems with Netflix buffering all the time. Per a recommendation of a Best Buy associate, we purchased this dual-band Wi-Fi router. It exceeds our expectations.

    I previously owned a older model of this router. It is worth the money and performs great. I have never had any issues with this one or the older model both great products.

    Easy to set up. Basically nothing more than plugging the device into the wall and plugging the internet cable to the back. Then just log in with supplied password. 5 min tops.

    I wanted to use multiple wireless devices and was getting some cross over on ip addresses. This unit was suggested and is working well. Strong signal in the whole house and no ip conflicts

    This dual band router is great. Easy setup and management, independently configurable 5Ghz & 2Ghz bands great throughput and range. Not ugly, either, if that matters to you.

    This is my 3rd net gear router. Love the easy set up, and the range is good. The first two were fried by power surges, due to thunderstorms, so make sure you use a good power surge protector.

    This was a replacement router for our busy home, with 2 home offices and lots of devices. It handles the traffic quite well, and the setup was very simple. Highly recommended.

    I bought this thinking that it would be an upgrade to the much older router that I had. It turned out to be exactly the same as the router that it was replacing, long story short I went to Best Buy last week to get a better router

    With more devices added in our house the old router couldn't keep up. The dual band allowed for less congestion on the home network increasing everyone's download speeds.

    Setup was uneventful and all the network devices worked flawlessly once new addresses were obtained. Really like the guest network capability for for wireless clients who are visiting.

    It was not nearly as easy to switch routers as I was lead to believe. The styling is nice, but is located where no one sees it. I did notice an increase in download but was hoping for more since switching/upgrading router.

    Great Value For Dual-Band Gigabit Router

    |
    |
    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    With more and more Wi-Fi using the 2.4 gig band, this router is an excellent choice because of the four gigabit cat 5 ports and dual band operation. I use the 5 gig wireless connection because of the thru-put. It is important the equipment you are using supports dual band operation. The GUI is a little awkward but not too difficult to navigate if you may want to change the factory settings / configurations.

    This is being used so that electronic equipment can be used by people outside of the office on a patio space. This is extending our space and we can take advantage of the weather in LA
