    Overall the product is very nice. Durable, easy setup, but provided only minor changes in internet speed. Overall I’d still recommend.

    This unit covers my entire home, 2 story 3200 square feet. In the past I struggled with extenders that did absolutely nothing to enhance my entire home coverage. I was able to set this unit up and running within 15 minutes. The Netgear Genie is wonderful with easy simple setup.

    This router has got it going on! My Xfinity router/modem just wasn't cutting it. We have over 10 devices at a time in our home, so we needed to get a boast. This router gave it, and then some. Our wireless devices are substantially faster and our range has jumped a lot

    I would highly recommend this product if you are using a modem/ router from your cable provider. Big jump in speed and no deadspots in a larger apartment. Just use Best Buy 6 month finance option if price is an issue. You can always return if your speed isn't any better.

    Top notch for range and speed and easy to set up. I would recommend this to anyone who has problems with dropped connection and or speed issues with their current setup. I'm easily maintaining connections from 150~200 feet away through walls on the 5ghz band.

    Easy to setup and Super fast wifi connectivity. Directional antennas help send the signal where I need it depending on where in the house I use it the most. Worth spending the extra money to get high performance than saving money and ending up with mediocre performance.

    I've gone through two routers that wouldn't cover the whole house. I own a 1900 sqft house, this router reaches from the front of the house to the furthest corner of my back yard. It hasn't slowed down yet. With the adults in the house there is constant streaming.

    Small town with hit and miss internet to begin with plus older house with plaster walls. Since we added this router about 3 months ago we have not dropped Internet a single time. Very impressed with download speeds even when multiple devices being used at same time.

    First off it was easy to setup. It only took about 10 minutes tops. I have about 12 wireless Devices in my home and they all function online at the same time effortlessly! Worth every Penny. Wish I would have bought it sooner! Not I want the Upgraded Model just Because

    I own a 3200 square foot home and was concerned with not getting full coverage. Rev'd many routers and this one had consistent reviews. Great coverage, easy setup and no regrets. Lots of tweaking potential with the settings. Almost went with a Wifi system but wanted to manage and assign my own frequencies per device. This does the trick.

    I have had several different routers I've used in the past and none of them compare to this BEAST. I bought this along with a nice cheap cable modem and have had lightning fast internet as well as no problems with lag,delay, or any sort of service!
