Customer Ratings & Reviews

My 7 year old Cisco router died and this Netgear model was the best option as a replacement. It was simple to install and runs very fast. I also feel the design is durable and thoughtful. Plenty of connections and control features. It reaches every corner of my 2000 square ft ranch house (including the basement).

I purchased the NETGEAR - Smart AC1600 router and am very pleased with the overall performance in terms of speed, range, and bandwidth. Very easy to set up and includes two bands so that you can optimize for your device. I think this is the best compromise between performance and affordability.

Easy setup. Good signal strength and range. Highly recommended

Nice sleek design. I was in need of an upgrade and this is a nice affordable option. Serves 1800 square foot home. Very pleased thus far.

Great router for the price. Very stable and solid connections all the time. Range is fantastic to not be the top of the line Netgear router. Easily covers 2500 sq feet. Highly recommend

Overall, I am very happy with this device, the range and signal strength on this device is amazing.

great range through out my whole house and super fast

this is the first time going wireless and did not want to pay cable company extra per month. I was told by someone at work because i needed the range to go outside in the summer

Range is excellent. I was able to get into the router to change passwords, I like complex passwords. Range is good, I can get to my car in the parking lot, perfect for tinkering.

Great price point. Excellent range. 1600 square ft house and it is centrally located solid bars in every room.

This router works perfectly for my 900 Sq. Ft. house. There are no spots on my house with a bad signal.

I like the reliability and the range of this router.

Make sure to hold Best Buy to Price match! Overall after installing this router we have been pleased. We elected to cut the chord so we stream everything now. This router is the heartbeat of that operation. Understand that I'm a retired network professional. Setup was pretty easy. Documentation could be a bit better because certain assumptions are made that may or may not be true. MAC filtering is a bit different although it does work well. Great range as the router is located on the second floor and we have three levels. Signal never drops below good or 1st and 3rd floor or at the opposite end of the second floor. Especially 5.0 Mhz band. Overall, good router, easy setup and good range for under $100. And you can "tweak" it to maximize throughput!
