    very user friendly router, made pretty well,not the best looking router out their, but im not in it for the looks. it has very good range and coverage, and its blazing fast compared to a wireless g or wireless n router. the main thing is if you are going to buy this router i would advise a higher speed internet like at least 20 mbps to 50 mbps for you to notice a big difference. we still do not have speeds anywhere in the southeast U.S. that will touch what any AC router will do. it will be worth the investment in the future.

    Love this new router I got for my home. It is the latest AC version. It is super fast both on my network and using it Wi Fi. It has great added features and is easy to install! Love having a GUEST network and it is easy to manage this router as well.... from the internet or your Smart Phone app! Great job Netgear!

    The performance exceeds my expectations. The price is high, but you get what you pay for. My previous router was loosing signal and had poor signal strength, After, installing this router, I felt like I purchased the premium internet package. I can have multiple pages open and the internet will not slow down. It is easy to install, and set up security and block inappropriate websites. I am very satisfied for the price I paid.

    Just bought a laptop with the latest Wi-Fi standard 802.11ac & needed an AC Router that was easy to setup, had good range & fast download speeds. This NETGEAR Router fit the bill. With the NETGEAR Genie App it was easy to setup & with the Push 'N' Connect feature it was easy to add devices even for a novice.

    This router was easy to install with my computer, all in one wireless printer-fax, two android phones, tablet and smart TV. Range is good for my 4000+ sq ft house even outside more than 100 feet from the router location.

    I used to use router was very old. That was so slow and low spec. This Netgear Router is so great! It's was so easy to install too. Now we got up to 60 MB. And we have no problem so far.

    I was trying to find a router that would work in a large home, this one seemed to be the best cost benefit. I am using it for a month now and is working well with streaming videos on netflix. Happy with my purchase so far! ;)

    This was an excellent purchase at Best Buy. It was much cheaper than other stores I checked at the time. Got it home, skimmed the instructions and went to town setting it up. If you aren't doing anything sophisticated during setup it won't take you long to be up and running and still feel secure while online. I am certainly no authority on routers but this one does seem to have plenty of adjustments for the guys that love to tinker to get the best signal possible. I hope it last a long time since according to a program I downloaded I have the highest signal in the neighborhood no matter which channel I'm on or band, either 2.4 or 5.0 Ghz band. Personally I didn't see much of a speed difference which I thought I would but I have 5 devices running all the time and I haven't noticed a bit of lag in any of them.

    We purchased this to replace a failing router. Did a quick check on CNet and found it was recommended for speed and performance. Brought it home and set it up in minutes. We use it for streaming media to TVs, computers, tablets, etc. Our devices that support 802.11ac gained a huge jump in performance. Very noticable. For our other devices I did see an increase in signal strength, in general. Great router and we're very pleased.

    Great range and easy to administer. Works with my Nest thermostats as my previous netgear router was draining the batteries due to too much chatter between the router and units (accident to nest support)

    After the Charter cable upgraded to 60mbps, my all-in-one router couldn't do the job right any more. Compared several routers, and this one is the best. Easy set-up!

    This router replaced an older Netgear router. It is quite an improvement in ease of setup and range. We have a 3 story house and router is in top level. However, all levels are adequately covered by wifi.

    This is a fast router provides offers good range through walls and floors. It has extensive feature allowing control and customization for just about anything a you would need for a home or small office. Setup up was somewhat easy, once you find everything and get used to the interface, it is a snap. The physical size of the router is its biggest downfall, this thing is big compared to other routers, however not so that you can't find a place for it.

    I purchased this Netgear router to replace my old N600 router. That old one is now being used for customer WiFi at my wife's small business. I wanted a router with greater range and speed, with the a, b, g, N and ac bands. This router fit the bill, and I now have great connection throughout the house! Same ease of use as my N600 for setup and maintenance.
