I had a lot of trouble with my previous router as we live out in the country and would lose connection a lot. Haven't had any problems with this one!

Great product for a house with multiple users. Purchased this product because we needed a faster router that could handle a family of electronic users!

I had an old centurylink modem/router that had a better range. No real issues but if you live in a larger house >2500 square feet it won't cover it all.

This router is great. Was having trouble using my table on the patio and the range on this bad boy makes it so I never have to buffer videos.

I am not sure it's helping speed up my WiFi as much as I was expecting it to. It is better than it was, but not as fast as I thought. Maybe there is some sort of adjustment that needs to be done.

I have never installed a wireless router and with this it's very easy and fast and the genie app just makes it that much easier to control from your phone.

It sends out a strong signal but walls will kill you. For the most part the signal is always strong, but sometimes we're all slapped with a Limited Access message.

I wanted to upgrade my existing Cisco Linksys router to one that offered Wireless-AC and dual-bands. NetGear has always been a great name, and a sales associate had this exact model and recommended it, so I bought it.
Setup was fairly easy for me, but I am a computer tech. If my mom or one of my customers had to set it up, I'm not so sure they would say it was all that easy.
I work from home, and the router is located downstairs in my townhouse. I have my office upstairs and use wireless for my laptop. I had issues with my wireless within the first couple of days. My network indicator would show I was still connected, but I had no ability to get to the internet, nor my work VPN. If I simply chose the router and disconnected, then reconnected, the issue resolved itself. This issue NEVER happened before with my previous router. The behavior was unacceptable as my softphone requires the VPN connection, so my customer calls would be dropped.
Needless to say I took it back and exchanged it for the equivalent Linksys model, which has been working almost flawlessly for a month now.
