    Very happy that I purchased this. It is kind of overkill for my situation, BUT the future will surely be easier with it.

    Does not work well with X-Finity internet(at least above 300mbps) I have gigabit internet and the router would not provide the full speeds when using the proper settings required by xfinity(Dynamic IP) Only worked with static IP and had to be reset every time XFinity changed my IP.

    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.

    This works really well for expanding bandwidth and distance for my WiFi network. Bought this one based on recommendation of the tech in the store - he was very knowledgeable.

    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.

    This replaced a X4S that was fried by power issues up stream. This was the perfect upgrade/replacement and has handled all of our smart-home, computer and phone needs.

    Only issue to date is dropping of signal at times but a quick reset fixes it. Not sure if it is the router or my connection.
