    Great internet connection and speed. I connect while even driving past my house. The mobile app is super easy to use and helps you set it up with no trouble at all. You definitely get what you pay for with this.

    2nd unit I purchase. Great for streaming, this Gen 2 unit really delivers. My first unit was Damged by painters doing work. Blessing in disguise. Definitely feels like we upgraded at basically the same price of Gen 1 model.

    As someone who values consistency, this router has by far been the most consistent router I've ever owned. Steady speeds and no drops. Now, if only Netgear's AX routers could say the same.

    The setup of this router is easy and simple. What is nice is the fact that you can use the netgear genie app, the mobile app, or the tried and true method of routerlogin.net Only down side is the logout period seems awful short.
