    I had to get this one when our last model broke. It holds all of our electronics with no problem at all. We run about 10 or more sometimes when we have company no one has had a problem connecting.

    My old router wasn’t capable of handling all the streaming and smart devices. I went to the store and one of the ladies told me how this router could keep up with what my family is doing. She was 100% correct.

    Decent router and seems to work well. I had to return it because it didn't pump out the bandwidth I needed, but for most users this will cover all your needs.

    I use to rent a modem/router combo from comcast. This is more on the higher side but well worth it, I probably won't have to upgrade for 5/6 years! So far it's working great, I'm happy with my purchase!

    It was a good router but definitely overkill for the average user. Still no replacements over hardwiring gaming equipment.

    I converted from my internet providers combination model/router to Netgear model with this router. It has been in operation for about one month without any issues with reception or connectivity.

    Amazing Router, bought this a while back, and has helped me stay connected to the internet. This is a good option to not pay the $10 fee for any internet provider.

    Amazing. Provides wifi as fast as Ethernet connection. If you live in am area wifi congested wifi connections. (Apartment/townhome) it allows you to choose the channel you're connected to! Wonderful product!

    I had problems with the previous lower price Netgear router that I bought just a year ago, I went and got this! It’s being working just ok since it downgrades picture quality randomly when watching YouTube on my tv! Of I understand it might be my provider but it’s supposed to give automatic priority to devices capable of higher definition (4K) so I’m sorry but for the price it can only get 3 stars

    Great router for everyone all over the house to connect to the internet. Before we bought the router everyone couldn't reach the internet from one end of the house to the other.

    We purchased a Ring doorbell only too find out it was too far away from our old router and the signal was week. We bought the NetGear router and haven't had any trouble with the Ring signal since.

    Horrible Router and horrible company

    This is an AWFUL router, and NetGear is an AWFUL company. I will never buy NetGear again! First - the router says I need a firmware update. Internet says there is a serious security flaw. Firmware update fails every single time when I try auto-update or manual update. No tech solution to this problem. I email tech support and they say - "buy the extended warranty and then we will help you." Are u kidding me??? Your product and your website don't work. This is how you treat customers??? Second problem is router cuts my ISP speed from 500 Gb/s to 290 Gb / s. Tried every possible setting change, nothing works. When I try to turn off QoS, the router logs me off and won't let me turn it off. What lousy software and firmware. Pathetic. NEVER BUY NETGEAR AGAIN.
