    This router is perfect for everything I can throw at it from game consoles, to iPads, laptops etc. The router was very easy to set up and even easier to maintain. I have noticed a considerable difference in speed and reliability compared to my old router. A little pricey but if you are looking for the latest and greatest, this is a great option.

    This router blasted through many of our firewalls. It even gave me access while out in the Lake albeit sometimes spotty. I would give 5 stars, but there is one room in the house we have trouble with. Maybe I don't have it set properly to take advantage of all its power, but I can't figure out anything I might have missed at this point.

    Bought this after my Time Capsule 2.4ghz channel quit working. This router is excellent in it's reach and speeds across my house. Comes with 6 wired inputs for those devices that need the extra boost. Got it on sale for Black Friday for a great price which made it worth it to me for the price. Otherwise I would have not purchased it.
