    I have 11+ devices in my house, dispersed upstairs and even in the basement. Everything seem to be connected and working great. I replaced my previous Netgear 600 becuase the connection upstairs wasnt great. Seems to be better now. I have seen some lag lately in our online gamming but I havent been able to tie it to the router. Its probably the servers but I will report back if it is the router. I bought netgear because I also like their app. I allows me to manage websites of everyone that connects to the router and gives me the ability to have full access to the internet. I wish it had the option to turn off all internet access.

    Easy to setup. Good WiFi range. Devices connect easily. Allows guests to login without giving full access to home network. Small footprint takes up little space.

    I run at least 12 wireless items and the immediate response and speed (minimal buffering) is amazing in comparison to my older net gear router. I`d highly recommend this model.

    My Asus router died and I'm glad it did as this router is much stronger. It was easy to install and set up. My Nest thermostat connected this new router quickly.

    We have only had connection problems once since purchasing this, but unsure if it was due to the Modem or router. Previously we were having connection issues on a daily basis.

    My previous router was a linsky, I was gonna go that route until I checked out netgear. Item was cheaper and was just as good as the new Linsky I would've gotten.

    Overall this is a basic router. I was in the market for a new one and purchased this one for the AC capability. Set up was super easy and the NETGEAR genie is a nice too to have.
