    It worked well for a few minutes then I lost my signal and could not get it working again. I returned it to best buy and opted for a stronger modem and the Orbi. was it the modem? Nighthawk? or problems with the configuration? I upgraded the modem, wireless and configuration at the same time so a three rating might be unfair but the Orbi is so much better for just a little more!

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    in my opinion the only bad thing about the router is that a higher version is already out, is worth every penny.
