Overall, it is a good product for the money. I wished I had gone to the next model up to get better coverage in our home (3800 sq ft).

The wireless went out on my old router, so I purchased this one to replace it. I had the old router setup as a wired bridged router to my main router, something this one does not allow you to do. I decided to swap things around, using this one as my main router, but wasn't able to do that do to the limited number of ports you can forward. It will probably be great for the average user, but it's not so great for a techie.

My N300 corrupted and i went out to buy a new router. Did some research on a dual-band router and after talking to a bb employee was suggested to buy this router. Didn't really want to pay $100+ but less than a day after purchase I can tell you its worth it.
So let me preface with my isp provides me with 150mbps internet speed.
With my old N300 I would get about 70-90 over wifi; I would get 160-175 hardwired through ethernet. Last night I hooked up my new router(which was very simple) and I connected wifi to the 2.4Ghz band. I got 87mbps download speed which is at the higher end of what I've ever seen with my N300 router. I was like okay thats not bad.. went on to connect to the 5Ghz wifi and ran the speed test. I got 174mbps download speed! Thats almost double of speed I've tested through wifi. Heck its the same speed I get through ethernet. So in all I would have to give this product 5 stars and recommend this to anyone that has more than 4 or 5 wireless devices. I put my galaxy note, my wife's iPhone, and my iMac on the 5 ghz band, and the xbox, 2 tablets, and laptop on the 2.4ghz band. There are two seperate wifi networks labeled netgear71 and netgear71-5G so its easy to chose or allocate which device goes on which network. So far its perfect and feel a lot better about dropping $115 for a product which there are tons for $40-$80.
