Many appreciate its strong signal and the generally simple setup process, leading to positive experiences with streaming and overall WiFi quality. However, some users reported occasional connection issues and noted the router's relatively large size. While some experienced improvements in lag, others mentioned problems with the firmware.

    Fast and friendly

    Pretty good router. I mainly use it for the AC connection, but with VOIP, gaming and general use, its pretty fast. Wireless works good, though i had a problem when i enabled the guest network. Some of the older G/N systems stopped connecting wirelessly. Once i disabled the guest network, everything worked again. There were no firmware updates to fix this and they are apparently aware of the issue, so hopefully this will get resolved at some point. I dont use the guest network that much, so not a big deal. Interface is easy to use and setup is relatively simple. I am a pro user at this stuff, so i am typically doing a lot more configuration than normal users. People who need functionality to do certain advanced things, this unit can do them, so dont shy away.

    This Product Exceeds My Expectations ! , I really want to share my experience and write review for this Product. I live in Single Story House, Lot size 7500 Sq.ft and Actual House Construction Area would be close to 2500 Sq.ft. I am a techie guys, I try different Routers/Modems, I do not want to name them. I kept this exactly in the middle of the house in the closed laundry room ( my wife do not want to see wires and instruments in the middle of the house or at any visible location, she is very strict :) ), so I keep things in the closed laundry room. I can write review with full statistics and numbers, but i want everyone to understand and know facts about this super device in very simple and easy language and help people to choose this guy. Ok. I am Done with Story telling :). Let me share the my experience... From that closed room - @5Ghz Band I get more than Subscribed Internet Speed - I Subscribed for 150Mbps speed and I get 165Mbps :) at the living area ( which is closest to my laundry room - about 12 feet), Front bedrooms and most of the other places i get speed from 100-150Mbps ), Lowest Speed I get is 100Mbps. I am very much surprised to see this. @2.4Ghz Band, I get Max 120Mbps which is Awesome. And At the same Band I get Internet almost at every corner of my house and in both front and backyard of the house. I really loved this Product. If you buy this product ....I am very sure you will not be disappointed like me. Hope This Helps you to select right product. Note: I use CM500 Modem.
