    Solved our router problem. With all the phones, computers, xboxes etc. we have, we were always getting dropped off the internet.

    Happy with net gear. But so thrilled about the expensive antenna I bought that don't do nothing. Not worth only getting 2 Chanel's

    Had a Netgear 'N' router before and wanted to upgrade to the 'AC' router. I also didn't want to use an extender. This R8000 model covers my whole house efficiently. Probably is more router than I actually need, but I like being comfortable with Enough, than to wish had purchased more. I am perfectly happy with this model.

    It took a little time to get it set up as the directions leave a little to be desired, but I got it done. It puts out a great signal and the 3 channels (1)2.4 and (2) 5ghz work great. In the program you can see what channel each item is on and you can adjust the priority level for each, depending on what you need them to do.

    Bottlenecks Speeds

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I’ve been having issues for a month that I have had it with bottlenecking my speeds. I have 500mb internet through my isp and get those speeds direct to my PC. However once I hook up the router I only get about 250mb down although I still get about 450mb up. I’ve checked Netgear forums and this seems a common problem that doesn’t seem to have an easy fix. For almost $300 it shouldn’t have this problem.

    Finally got internet access via a microwave transceiver, but needed a router. This fit the bill nicely. Overkill for what my particular needs are, but there will be visitors, and kids with who knows what kind of devices. Anyway, installation was simple, and setup was a breeze. Couldn't be happier.

    I have never been a huge netgear fan but, this is by far the best home wireless router on the market right now. Made a HUGE difference in STREAMING live content. With a large family there are always multiple people on and this router has resolved all of the previous issues with slowness and dropped connections due to congestion.

    My office internet was particularly bad for several years. One day I realized it’s probably because we had a ton of devices on a cheap $30 router that couldn’t handle the traffic. Sure enough- after replacing it with this, the performance was significantly better.
