    This would be a 5 star review but we ran into some problems getting it to work properly. We had geek squad set up our network and they had difficulty getting the wifi speeds that we pay for. We currently get 100mbps from our provider and for some reason we would only get about 60 with the speed test wirelessly. Other reviews and research we did had customers getting the full speed wirelessly. But needless to say, this is a great router and works well with our whole home set up.
