Needed a router to cover a small cottage. This router fills the bill. Good reliable internet connection and streams everything we need.

I bought this so my upstairs bedroom would have same signal strength as my family room where it resides. Not! Very disappointed. Also don't like way netgear handles their lifetime warranty. Make me wait without a router while they drag me through their process. Done with netgear after this one. And the one I replaced barely lasted a year. Done done done

It came with corrupted software that required almost 2 hrs with telephone tech support to clear up and install. Once done, it has periods of freezing up and is sluggish to very difficult to reset. Once done, however, it does handle our 27 devices with ease. Watch out for power surges, it blows these out. Use a battery backup/surge protector for your wallets sake

This is a great product. AC is the new technology for routers and is well worth the conversion cost.

I am happy with this model. Located within 10 feet of my laptop so I don't know how well it works for other rooms
