    Took awhile to setup but was a great upgrade over my last router, so much faster! After setup I downloaded a song from iTunes to test speed. Normal time for a song on former router was 1 to 4 seconds, with this router I hit "buy" which instantly changed to "purchased"! App downloads are cut to quarter of the time i.e. few seconds, as well as super fast web interface. Love it.

    Purchased to replace a 4 year old ASUS that was becoming very unstable. On the Nighthawk X8 Parental controls are not working and I have read in other forums that many people are having the same issue with Parental Controls. So far it has been stable but it is overpriced for a consumer line product.
