    I gave this router a 4 start rating because it does drop signal from time to time for the price you paid for this it shouldnt have any issues, besides that I love it I'm getting 55mb from comcast. I also have this connected to a bunch of devices and it work flawlessly.

    I had a combination modem/router and constantly had trouble with my home Wi-Fi set up. Unable to connect Kindle Fire to my Wi-Fi.This Netgear Router was suggested to solve the problem. It works great, I have rarely even thought about it, it just keeps doing its job like you hope your computer accessories will do.

    As far as wireless access points go it seems to do the job very well. I'm using it to connect 2 computers that are roughly 40 feet away and I get full bars of connectivity upstairs and down. I have no complaints on what it does. It is a bit expensive but I didn't want to risk poor connections over longer distances.

    I bought this router to be able to handle higher data speeds from my HSI provider. DSL internet is spotty so I don't think the router is working up to its full potential. When I move and go back to cable internet, I'll really be able to get an idea of what this bad boy can do. I hope it's better.

    I was a little unsure how I would do setting up my new router but everything went so smoothly! It works great and I am pleased with my purchase. Also the staff at Best Buy was terrific and helped me pick out the right one for my needs and budget.

    I don't know anything about routers but my IT at work told me this one was the best. When the cable guy came to install, he said he doesn't usually do the wireless connection but if I had a good router he'd do it for me. He also said NetGear was the best... So he installed it for me. I haven't had any problems.

    Still Early Days. Definitely better than my previous "N" Type wireless Router with respect to speed and reach. I live in a pretty large three story townhouse can get strong signal at the remotest corners with respect to the router in my basement.
