    Definitely out-performs old one. Quicker response. Much more expensive though. Added a range extender to reach a garage/shop which is about 50 ft. away through a few building walls. In house and out building and small garage receive just fine. Further out was more difficult to find a good place to place extender that would provide good transmission and reception. X8 router has good transmission capabilities.

    Replaced my 10 yr old router with this one. Put it upstairs although all signal demand is downstairs. Signal strength is incredibly impressive. Bandwidth speed tests show almost no speed loss from cable modem thru wireless router.

    Great to have 3 different wireless networks set up with one Router. As we add more devices to our home network it is important to balance the devices across several networks to maintain peak performance for each application. This Router is doing a nice job serving all our devices - 3 mobile phones, 1 iPad, 3 laptops, 3 streaming TV devices, 3 security cameras, 9 fire/co2 alarms and 2 thermostats.

    This router improved my wi-fi internet connection speed by close to 30%. I have experienced a small gain in range from the powered antennas, but I honestly expected more in that department. I gave it 5 stars because of the speed gains, and I am normally within close proximity to the hardware. If 4-1/2 stars were an option, I would have gone with that. Overall, I am very pleased with the performance.

    I bought this router to upgrade my old cisco router. It has been working great and the Netgears support has been great to deal with on the few questions I have had.

    Excellent router. We always have slow or dropping to all of our products that have internet connections. ( TV, phones, Samsung refrigerator, Echo, X Box, computers and so on....) I was hesitant to purchase due to the price. We got home hook everything up and everything works great no dropping or lagging any more .
