    This router helped with the problems that we were having with connections and dropped connections. As it is the house uses WiFi heavily...3 phones, 4 iPads, 2 computers, and an apple TV. All connecting wirelessly.

    Well my motif to purchase this router was to increase my streaming capabilities. In my old router, when I would go to stream on my smart tv, would cause the videos to buffer every couple of minutes. I purchased this router and every since I have had no buffering problems and my online gaming hasn't suffered any lag. All in all probably one of the better investments I have made at Best Buy.

    Great router. Have always been a Netgear Fan. This replaced the 900 series that was solid just wanted to upgrade for better range which this has done great so far. The only issue I had at the beginning was it was to close to my Comcast wireless modem which I just turned off its wireless and now no problems. This has been running solid now for almost 2 months with no reboots or anything all while running well over 20 devices (phones, tablets, TV's and game consoles) with no lag.

    This router works awesome! It connected right up with our home network. I'm not to techy but Im pretty sure it doesn't have a sticky ip; Which is very good when your modem goes down, you do not have to restart your router! This router also allows us to share a wireless printer over both networks. Only downside, you cannot extend this network with another apple router; luckily other extenders are relatively inexpensive. Would buy this again maybe even a higher model one.

    I was able to make it work with a minimum setup (I have it connected as a router to an AT&T modem). The installation software let me use the same password for the WiFi network so I didn't had to reconfigure any device at home. I'm using the DNS and VPN features to connect to my home computer from other places and it's working well. So far I haven't seen any issue. And the genius app for iPhone to control the router works great and it's really easy to use.

    Works great, as expected. Not problems as of yet. I've had it for several months without issue. The parental controls were a bit difficult to get set up and working at first. Once they were set up, I was able to use the phone app to turn the internet on and off for each specific device. This is great as a parent. Also each device can be set to different parental control levels. The thing I don't like that there is no way to set up a white list filtering

    We typically have 10 wifi devices connected to it - iphones, ipad, apple TV, laptops, printer, etc. Ookla speed test results show 119 Mpbs on the download. We recently cut the cable cord and Stream video over the internet which works fine on the TV however on some of the older iPads internet surfing is slow. Love the management feature where you can pause wifi service for a particular user, especially when the kids start hogging up to much bandwidth.
