    This router has built in fire wall and walks you thru set up if your plugged into your computer during set up! 3 Channels of signal for broadcast and reaches in all parts of my house, thus the upgrade.

    I have a 100mb Internet connection and I couldn't take full advantage of it until now. This thing is screaming fast. It's definitely expensive, but it should last at least a couple of years. If you're serious about connectivity in your home you should get it.

    Overall, this has been a good purchase and I would purchase it again. The hardware has been been reliable and offered great coverage throughout my home. With that said, if feel as though it is lacking for a router at this price point, especially the UI. The plus is that it does support DD-WRT which does give provide more advanced features and more granular controls. One of the gotchas that experienced is with the guest network. The Roku's ping the router interface to determine connectivity to the network. Unfortunately, the Netgear does not respond to ping from the guest network so I had to disable ping on the Roku to get it to work. This change has lead to other issues with the Roku so that I have to reconnect to the wireless network after it has gone to sleep for an extended period.

    If you have a lot of devices like I do then you need this router; but being it is pricey at almost 300 dollars; if you don't have a lot of devices needing wi fi then maybe it would not be for you. It works great so far and I am impressed as I have well over a dozen wif fi devices with an average of 8 pr more using it 24/7.

    I purchased the router for our home, it has a great range where I can go around the perimeter of my one acre property and still get almost full strength. Setting up the router is seamless with good detailed menus.

    Had a little bit of a hard time setting this up the first time because the wizard for connecting to the router is a bit confusing. I had to do reconnect and refresh of the page a few times to get it rolling. After the setup, everything went well. Network speeds and performance are really good.

    The router signal is great. I now get a dedicated signal for my work and personal and use the other signals for visitors etc. The reach is much better than the standard Comcast router. I would recommend this if you have over 2000 sq ft in your home.
