Customer Ratings & Reviews

The router just worked for a year. It stopped working and could not be rectified. Greatly disappointed.

Not worth the money. Too expensive and does not work properly

I put it at first floor, and the second floor can not get internet signal. Do not buy it. No a Best Buy item.

I have a 2 story house with many items on second floor. Wifi is inconsistent the farther it is away. It has been a huge disappointment

Crap... bricked three of them doing firmware updates and fourth ones WAN disconnected over and over . Go with ASUS

I really like Netgear and stand by their products, but this one (or maybe just the one I got) was no good.

A year old and it keeps loosening connections and has to be resets.

Trash, needs replacement with something better. House layout is not that bad but it just doesn’t do the job

Would constantly disconnect from internet and I had to reset this router and modem 2-3 times per day. Horrible purchase.

Ok, I wish I would have read the review above mine, before I started to setup this router. I have set up dozens of routers over the years, and consider myself a network expert. I was baffled when I could not get this router to connect to my cable modem, even though I did everything the same exact way that I have over many network installs. The router was online, and all lights were right, but no internet, and no access to my large home/business network. Calling netgear on the weekend is a daunting task, since the support is obviously in another part of the world, where English is not the first language, and trying to explain what your problem is doesn't usually pan out very well.. Anyways, to make a long story short, I somehow got the wireless to work, and then the wired connections suddenly were fine as well. I think I will be trying the above posters idea next time, and try getting the router setup first, then connecting the modem! Its super fast, giving me wireless speeds equal to my wired connection, and the distance the wireless covers with a strong signal now is incredible; we have a 3 level house, and even in the basement, 2 levels below the router, I can stream Netflix and hulu perfectly from my smart tv. If you need range, and speed, and are willing to pay the price; jump on this bad boy now!

I had it for some time know and i have to say i would not recommend it signal drops and if you have more then 3 devices it starts to really slow down

keep failing. randomly drop connecting devices. need to reboot multiple times a day.

All I can say is I have a 1600sf home and it doesn't get a signal from one side to the other. I was better off with the base the cable company gave me.

Drops internet connection. Speed did not seem as fast as it should have been

Wouldn't work. Called the support line they told me it was my internet provider. So I could them and they said it was netgear.

Worst router that I have ever used. Constantly not connecting to internet

Worked great for 7 months. Drops WiFi all the time. Went back to my trusted AirPort Extreme.

Major disappointment. Did not extend wifi at all. Seemed to just slow it down. Returned.

Still in need ,of something for wi-fi replacement. We have a strong signal from Cbarter, but not when it comes to Wi-fi.

This was an upgrade to my ~7 year old NETGEAR router. We just moved to a bigger place and were having problems with our wireless devices dropping signals. This baby did the trick. Not only do I have coverage thoughout the apartment, I can get a very strong signal in our parking lot. Very easy to set up. Still playing with some of the more advanced settings for online gaming and streaming prioritization. The price is a little higher than I wanted to pay but I am a firm believer in you get what you pay for. Great job NETGEAR, keep up the good work!
