    Easy install and works great. This is my 2nd one. When my first one went out there was no question that I would be buying the same one.

    This equipment replaced a "retiring" Netgear 750. A sales rep recommended this particular router because of its range and ease of use. He hit the nail on the head. Set-up was a breeze, and the unit has performed very well since it's installation, providing fast, responsive internet access throughout our home. I would purchase this product again.

    I don't like dealing with my network and had tolerated a less-than-adequate wireless signal for a year before it went out completely. Helpful sales rep didn't force too strong a product on me, and this Netgear 1600 gives me everything I need. The signal goes fine through my plaster walls and even works outside. An even bigger relief: I got it installed way more easily than I expected. I'm sold.

    I had to pick this up in a pinch. EE was helpful in qualifying my needs and matching my needs to a product. I have had a lot of success with Netgear products, so I was comfortable with the EE recommendation. This product was an upgrade from my previous Netgear router. On paper it had twice the power and an app to assist with managing my network. The set-up process was easy and painless. The app is nice and something I actually use. The design does take up space on my stand, but I overlook this drawback because the performance is there. All in all, great product for the price and I am happy with the investment. I would recommend this product to someone who is in the market and limited to this price point.

    Fantastic Replacement for Comcast for Gamers!

    I have Comcast as my internet provider and was having some serious issues with my xbox 360 gaming constantly having poor connection issues. I had done some research and read that the router Comcast uses throttles speed when it gets too high, so even though I was paying for 100MBPS speeds, I was ONLY getting average of 12MBPS. It was ridiculous. I purchased new router along with a replacement modem, and my speeds were back to what they were supposed to be. Thank you best buy for the product advice!

    Bought this cause they were out of the one I wanted. Out of all the routers I've purchased over the years, this was the easiest to set up. Hindsight should have uninstalled Netgear genie first as my previous router was a Netgear and this caused a small hiccup. Still it only took 10 minutes or so to set up. The router I wanted had more USB ports however I had a multi port splitter so it worked out for me. Hate buying things when they're not on sale though, but I needed one so it's all right.
