After month of my internet going in and out during my job search, I finally bought a router from Best Buy! I asked which type of Router he would recommend. He took the time to ask me what I was looking for, why a new one, and then he took time to explain my options! He did not try to convince me to buy the most expensive one! This one was not difficult to set up which was good for me!
Since then I have been able to continue to use my Mac constantly for my job search!
Now to find a new full time job! Thank you Best Buy!

We had a lot of dropped internet episodes with our router. After several calls to Netgear support they determined that the route was defective. We exchanged it & the 2nd router s working fine.

This is a great working product and well priced. I wasn't looking to spend a ton but needed to replace my current router. I'm not disappointed.

Needed to replace the wireless router used by my cable company. This router does a great job and all of my devices always connect. Looks great, too.

Would buy again, no issues with it yet and have had for two months. Use iPhons, iPad, computer and Xbox all at once and always good speed on each.

I bought this to extend my wifi to reach the farthest point of the house. It doesn't extend the signal strong enough to hold the signal. I was just going to get a different one that was much cheaper but the sales person said that this would extent the range and increase the down load speed so if Comcast raises their speed we would get the new speed. I feel I was sold something that I don't need and wasn't what I came in for.

Overall is a good router. Gave it 3 stars because I have a big home and it didn't give good coverage.
Replaced it with an Asus ac1900.
