Works good, no major problem. I could not get my wireless printer hooked up, eventually had to use ethernet cable. Not sure if it was a printer or router problem.

Range isn't very good. It seems to drop connections to my phone and tablet too often. It was easy to set up though.

Installation instructions were specific, but a little confusing. I had problems installing the device. Once it was up and running though, it is working great.

I had a linksys router previously for 5+ years. It eventually gave out and I upgraded over to this one. Long story short, 100% content with it.

Decent router for medium use, it can handle multiple devices, but not always the best connection.

After specifically asking an employee of this router was strong enough for our devices in our apartment, she assured us that it would work for 8+ devices. After setting it up, it wouldn't send a signal greater than 2Mbps on any of the four we had connected. I'm deeply disappointed in Best Buy for steering us so incredibly wrong. Will be returning at the soonest time possible to get my money back. Terrible product with terrible advice.

Purchased this router for my office. Very good quality, and it works well with our firewall. File transfer speeds are phenomenal.
