Replacing my CenturyLink router which had died, I purchased the Netgear ac1600 after recommendation from a BestBuy employee.
Easy setup and great numbers for download & upload speeds.
But nothing but problems with wireless connectivity for my iPhone 6 as well as my iPad. Worked with Netgear support to get the issue resolved. But still have recurring issues. I've had no issues with Windows-based or Android products.

I used to hardwire my PCs to my router because I live near a college and got a lot of wifi interference. This baby connects no problem and can handle my gaming upstairs and downstairs without interference.

I purchased this router after experiencing frustration with my old router that kept causing connection issues with my devices. This is a much better quality and I've had no issues with it.

This modem router fulfilled my needs perfectly. It allows for an external hard drive to be used over the network, making computing from multiple computers easy. It's like having our own share drive.

Needed the best modern/ Wifi for all the electronics that we have at home and so far it is working great. From what I can understand it can have a few more electronics added without any problems.

This router was as described. It provided way more bandwidth capability than needed, so its nice to know it will grow with my ISP's capabilities.

I bought this modem and router to replace the one the phone company provided. It is great--we can now stream different shows in different rooms, a feature we couldn't enjoy before.

SO easy to install and to work with. Have been enjoying it since it provides internet/WiFi stability whereas my old modem/router just kept cutting out and was in constant re-boot action.
