    Bought this router to serve a 1200 sft house. We have over 8 devices in use round the clock and so far it serves our needs perfectly.

    Speed Much Improved

    This was purchased to replace an old, slower router that would not handle my new 200mbps speed. It handles the computer speed in the same room perfectly. We have an additional computer on another level at the opposite end of the house that we have always used an extender for because it is so difficult to reach. While this router tripled the speed of the difficult to reach one, it is still only 15mbps. That is the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars. However, I don't know if another router can do better in that situation.

    Good, powerful router for the money. Setup leaves something to be desired as it's simply downloading an app to your smartphone (what if you don't own a smartphone?) and the app is touchy to use. Thankfully Netgear's tech support number is also provided and short wait times to talk to a person. They do a very good job of helping you get the router set up and functioning. And, the phone app is good for checking status on the router at any time.

    Nice Average Router

    This router is a nice and basic router. The ease of setup was excellent and connecting all my devices to it was a breeze. The range on this router isn't the greatest. I have had this for 6 months now and I am ready to upgrade to a more powerful router already. I had added extra devices and it just isn't able to keep up. I am running 25 plus devices in my home somedays. But I would highly recommend this router if you have 20 or less devices.

    "Netgear Quality" - Nice Starter Router

    I was surprised how far this wifi device reached. This device replaced a client's Netgear X4S router, radio died. Not a big fan of Netgear myself, but when you need a Netgear (client's request) now, this device was available at Best Buy. Overall it seems like a good little starter router. The only bad, Netgear's failure as firmware developers - but for the average residential consumer, this product will do.

    Netgear Nighthawk AC2300 - Great Bang for the Buck

    After switching to a high speed internet service at home, I went looking for an 802.11ac Wi-Fi router (backward compatible with older versions) with MU-MIMO and Beamforming. When the price was reduced for the Netgear Nighthawk AC2300, the decision to purchase it became obvious. Set up was easy. The range, signal strength, stability, and data transfer rates are impressive for what I consider a bargain-priced router. My kids (college sophomore and high school junior) and I usually connect on stand-alone wireless devices (smart phones and laptops) and we are thoroughly enjoying the benefits of this upgrade.

    It was very easy to set this up to replace my old router. And with two bands you can do a lot more. Seems to have a very nice range as well.

    The setup of this device was easy. The quality is awesome. I’ve noticed across my 3,000 sq. ft. house huge gains in internet speed tests. 5/5, would buy again.
