    Was a bit frustrating to set up as the wizard did not play very nicely with my Verizon router. But once I got the right things disabled on the fios router, the nighthawk config stuck.

    After a few weeks of constant router re-boot and various calls to my provider with no solution to the problem, it was suggested I had too many wireless devices connected to my router, looking for a solution I began reading ratings and concluded this was the best router available without going bankrupt. It was an easy installation with no problems at all and am very satisfied with results, no more re-boots, awesome speed !

    Great router that gave us multiple bands and increased our range. No issues with our 200 sq. ft. house and keeps reception to the mailbox. Definately a huge plus over the CenturyLink mode/router combo that was provided by the Company. A must purchase rather than paying the $10 per month service charge to rent one when you can buy a much better device for less overall cost. Wish I would have purchased earlier.
