Quick connect and can handle multiple devices well

Great Range
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this router after seeing it at Best Buy and reading the reviews online. It's probably more than I needed but I was tired of not getting reception in parts of my house. I have a 3 stories including my basement and my router is in the middle floor. Works great and no complaints. The app is ok and allows you to have parental controls.

Excellent Router...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have looked around quite a bit to compare various brands of routers and even comparisons of models sold by specific brands and I have found this router to be superb. Key areas of importance to me are cost, range, security, and manageability. This router has all of these features and more. One of my primary needs is to have a high strength 5GHz signal wifi connection that enabled private 'Guest' access while not interfering with other internal traffic or even other connections via the same SSID connection. As with other Netgear routers, this model continues to excel in this area.

Top Notch
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Does everything i could ask it too! Stellar speeds and throughput for my high speed internet (120mbps down/20mbps up) . Definitely saw a huge performance increase in all of my wireless devices, and almost no signal drops. I typically have at least a dozen or more devices concurrently active on my wi-fi at home, so this was a perfect fit. FYI, the unit was much bigger than i expected and i had to wall mount it for optimal performance.

So far so good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had this router for several weeks now and it has worked well for me. I upgraded from a Nighthawk 1900 due to issues with range in my house. So far the new router has been up to task. It is big though.

GREAT PERFORMER!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Has three radios, two band frequencies, keeps wifi devices running at their maximum. WIFI performance on phone is as fast and reliable as a CAT-5E connection on a computer itself. I can run everything I have off of wifi without sacrificing network performance! Great product, most highly recommend. You get what you pay for . . .

Not stable
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this item to beef up the WiFi in my home. The range was excellent - more than any other router I have ever tried (even the X10) and when it worked, it was very fast - however the data speeds would just randomly slow down to a crawl and require a reboot. I read similar complaints so I returned the router and got the Netgear Nighthawk X10 which I love. The X10 doesn't have the same range in the 2.4 band but it is stable so far and very fast. If you're going to spend this much money on a WiFi router you might as well get the X10 for just a little bit more.

Great signal strength and speed
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Set this up about a month ago and have experienced excellent signal strength and speed. Have not had to re-boot once. It's more costly but the additional $ was worth not having the inconvenience.
