    Would not "plug and play" on my system. Had to spend 75 min talking to customer service finding an IP address compatible with my server. Once established works great

    Your team recommended this unit as we had problems with WiFi, the length it had to travel. This has worked great so far. You solved our many problems! Thank You!

    Salesperson, was well and informed and knowledgeable about the product that bought it, if it wasn't for him I probably would not have gotten the proper product

    This router has been very dependable. I have over 50 devices connected to this router (they are not always on at the same time though). I would buy it again.

    My old router lasted me a good 2 years before a hurricane rendered it useless right when the warranty ran out. Got this and I'm back on my feet with no issues!

    Excellent Range

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I received this for free from Netgear This router is huge, like Xbox One big and the antennas are about 6 inches tall. You aren't going to hide this in a corner like some routers. The range is amazing. This was able to replace my old router and 2 range extenders in a 5000 sq ft, 2 story home. The speed is great too, seemed much faster then the old setup with multiple wireless devices connected. The only real con for me is the price at $400 dollars that is a pretty big expense for a router. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a fast router that need a to cover a large area.

    Like the router very much, works much better than one I had earlier. Do wish it had a bit more range, however, or a few more adjustments.

    Looking for a long range router as an x6 customer. Still a good router but found the range was less than the x6, so just bout anther x6 instead of this.
