    This is our second one but only because our first one was destroyed by lightning. Tried a different type trying to pay less, but took it back and got this one again. Fast and the range is good!

    I was talked into purchasing get this product due to the high use of WiFi products in my home. I did use it for about a week but ended up returning it because my cable company upgraded their wireless routers and it didn't cost me $400. I do recommend this but check with your cable provider before spending the money!

    Set up was very easy and connecting my extenders to it was simple also. Works really great, I put one extender in my daughters house across the driveway and she gets great signal from it.

    Great router for a two story home! We now have the same speed upstairs as downstairs and can even access in the garage and about 3 houses down the block. Easy set up and controls.

    This router is crazy fast even with several wireless devices running off of it. Easy set up and the high outputs should mean it will be good for years as the providers catch up to the speed.

    I mainly purchased this router to have faster processers to utilize VPN in a faster manner than previous router. This router did exactly that. It also provided plenty of flexibility on different connection types for various types of devices (phones, TV's, printers, laptops, etc). All run very fast!

    We had an AC router before this one, but sold it to my parents so I could upgrade to this... It reaches farther, has less lag. Expensive, but in this case you pay for what you get!

    I have been having WiFi issues for about a year. I spent the time researching options online and even considered having a hardwired system installed in my house. This router solved all my problems. No issues since installing it which was very easy. I am buying another one for my second home.

    Go Tri-Band!

    Great Tri band router, also with the aggregation feature you can get even faster speeds with the caveat that you have gigabit service. If you don't have gigabit service, do not get this router. It will be a waste of your money. The only wish is that this router had stronger output signal wise. I'm pretty sure in a wide open space it does well but through multiple rooms in a three story house the signal strength is lacking. But still I was able to put it centralized enough so that we can make full use of the tribals and gigabit speeds. Mind you I am only getting about 500Mb, through wifi. Maybe it's a setup problem on my end.

    I've never seen a router like this before. You can set up 3 networks with the tri band basically have a guest wifi. It has 6 LAN ports which is phenomenal. The range for wireless activity extends well outside which is great for saving data. As people say it is big in size but who cares!
