[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My other router was starting to fail, and since I had a Netgear modem, I decided to stay within the same ecosystem and get their router. Setup could have been a little easier, but fortunately Netgear support was there to help. They require you to setup the router via smartphone; however, apparently, my phone was too old to do the job, so Netgear support had to walk me through how to complete the task. Once I got it setup, I had to listen to a sales spiel to get me to sign up for a service contract. No thanks. In all the time I've administered my own modem and router (save for the setup this time), I've never had to contact customer support. I consider a service contract to be a colossal waste of money. Anyway, the router is working well, and I'm happy to have chosen it.
This is not my first NETGEAR product. I keep coming back because of the reliability, ease of set up, UI, and most important the piece of mind I have knowing I have a stable and secure network connection
