    Better instructions on keeping your existing network name would be helpful. We did figure it out and it works great. Coverage area around 3000 sq ft.

    I would have given 5 stars if not for the fact we have to reboot the router every 3-4 days in order for the computers on WiFi to connect.

    Had it for a month and needed 1-2 resets when it stopped working, otherwise it is good. Exchanged this for X10, so far so good

    Software and app are a little old school. Needs a refresh, but does its job, once you figure out the app and how it works.

    This replaced an earlier R8000 router that failed after a number of years. Works seamlessly with Netgear Mesh Extenders and Link Aggregation with a Netgear NAS.

    Runs a faster connection than my Ethernet. I can get internet while I’m in my car just about 100-200ft away from my house. It’s insane!
