    Our old router had little range. The nighthawk allows me to connect while in the back yard.

    Walked in to Howell Best Buy told the associate I needed a monster router to handle 15 devices and more speed ... this def did the trick. Read the instructions when setting up - setup should have been 30 mins or less but because I don't read instructions took me twice that. About 30 days into router works great! Def buy this

    Router reaches the back yard but inside we had to buy an extender. With that it seems great.

    I needed a fast dependable hub for my office network. This system is great. I wish I coulr recommend Best Buy as well, but their return policy is more than unfair. I was given a recommendation to buy the Night Hawk system, along with a booster, use the main system for awhile and return the booster if I found I did not need it. I did that, but was then informe I could not return the booster us=niti anyway. Oh well.
