    Great Router but Buggy Firmware

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

    In general, this is an excellent WiFi router. Not overly hard to set up and has excellent WiFi speed and great range. I have a number of computers and devices hooked up to it. I back up my computers with it as well. For someone who wants a solid general WiFi router, this is an excellent choice. One of the things I wanted to do with it was to run a VPN service to have a secure link while using public WiFi. Alas, the latest firmware is buggy (others have found this as well) and it has broken VPN and some other passthrough services. If you want to go beyond a straight WiFi router, this is not a good choice right now. I cannot recommend it for those who do.

    Works!

    The Good: Finally I own a router (AGAIN) that gave me back the range I use to have with my original Netgear R6300 (and that I lost with the R6300v2 and R7000), now I have coverage to the farthest room in my house and stable coverage in my yard. Installation was almost uneventful (For whatever reason I couldn't connect to the internet until I upgraded the firmware, minor problem), so far I have not experienced any stability issues, and my devices are not experimenting disconnections. The Bad (and this is only a personal complaint that might be irrelevant to others): Who designs the cosmetics of this devices? A group of young gamers that think that everybody wants a router that looks like a giant spider upside down? why did not use regular removable antennas? (I am guessing to save) unfortunately I have no choice if I want the latest and greatest. Again this might be trivial for most, this is just a personal complaint. EXPENSIVE! I hope this helps to make up you mind if you are interested in purchasing
