    I bought this to replace my Linksys EA9300 after it served us well for 2 1/2 years. The WiFi was slowly dying and with 20 devices online at one time it was a nightmare. I've had experience with Netgear routers in the past so I knew what the firmware was going to be like. The router was super simple to configure and customize for my needs. Our speeds have increased and the WiFi coverage is outstanding.

    Worst Netgear Product I've Ever Owned

    I am currently on my THIRD replacement for this router model. I have owned other Netgear models in the past, and all have been super stable with few issues. This one, however, has been the greatest source angst, hands down, of ANY of my network devices. Everytime I have returned this model (bought GS warranty for each one), it has been for the same issues. For some reason, the 2.4 channel/radio gets laggy, and/or stops functioning all together. Unfortunately, most of our smart home devices are only able to use this band. So, when it goes out, so does our integrated home. Every router of this same model that I have had also developed the habit of spontaneously rebooting AND resetting itself back to factory settings. I have not been able to track down if there is a trigger that causes it. But, come on Netgear! A router should NOT reset itself either spontaneously or during a power cycle/reboot. Yep, when I power cycle, this sucker resets itself. My wife works from home and relies on a stable connection for critical work across the globe. So this misbehavior is not only annoying, but unforgivable. Netgear help is absolutely useless, paid or not. They actually referred me to the community boards to find a solution. I don't want to have to go back to a dual band model, because having the extra 5ghz is great for a home with many devices. But I may have to. Oh, and BTW, I turned off updates, because the latest firmware from Netgear has tanked all three devices I have owned. I always revert back to the firmware version shipped with the router, as that seems to be the most stable.

    It does provide better coverage than my comcast system. Speed seems about the same and it was a real challenge to get it all working together. It took two calls to the tech center and the second call kept me on hold for 2 hours.
