    Installation was relatively easy but not for a true beginner. I like the new features a lot as I drive high bandwidth through it supporting, multiple TV's, Radios, Computers, Smartphones, Thermostats, and CO2/Smoke detectors. Bandwidth is KING in my place and the ROUTER is extremely important to us. NETGEAR has a problem with their QOS feature but if you disable it the ROUTER is a great performer for all products!
