    A very tech savvy family of 4, with 2 younger children. This router is awesome! We have all of our tech running though it abd have had no problems. It is a bit pricey though. If you have at least 8 different wifi devices using your router, I'd suggest this one. We have 3 laptops, 2 iPhones, an iPad, a surface pro, 2 smart tvs, a Wii u, and a ps4 all pulling off it. No lag what so ever

    It works great. Just as advertised. And has enough customizable features that even a network enthusiast would have enough to tinker with. Overall, it's a nice, solidly constructed rather, but has a large footprint. Seriously, be sure you have enough table space (size of a college text book). Other than that, it works great. Highly recommend if you can drop the change.

    Highly configurable, provides free ddns service, and acts as a openvpn server which uses blowfish, the downside is that it only supports 128 bit encryption. If you are considering this router for its' openvpn support, you should consider setting up your own pure openvpn server if you are security oriented, as this device is severely limited in its' configuration options..
