    This router is working just fine...now. It was the setup which was a royal pain. Netgear pointed the finger ast the ISP. The ISP pointed the finger at Netgear. Geek Squad couldn't figure it out. This was supposed to be plug and play. I spent 5-6 hours with a variety of technical support people. I finally spoke to about the third persosn at my ISP who tried resetting the router then took me through some specific steps. Finally got it to work with many headaches. My family was saying "just hire somebody!" I survived.

    As all traffic was routed from the cable modem through the wifi router, the previous router going down was the culprit even for the hardwired computer going offline. Problem solved!

    A GOOD UPGRADE

    I had to upgrade my a2200, we have a lot of connected devices and many would be dropping connections constantly. I have two levels and my wife and I require strong reliable connections for our work. So far so good. The reason I gave it 4 and not 5 stars is that it was problematic to connect to the provider modem. The app seems to work well as well. I recommend that you do the install from a device without Mobil data as it interferes with the install.
