    This router is much stronger than the previous one from Netgear. My WIFI range has increased, which was one of the things I needed.

    Was looking for something to avoid dead zones and the need for boosters in parts of the house. Not cheap but this one does it.

    I am not sure why I do not see consistently high downloads from the router. This could be based on the server demands and speed they supply. I also am a bit disappointed in the distance of coverage provided. This is supposed to be rated for a very large home, but it only seems to be able to cover the same distances as my old router. I also see my neighbors wifi as showing a stronger signal than my own.

    My first one died after seven months. But I haven't had any better luck with any other ones. So I had to buy it again.
