Got a superfast AT&T modem which has unbelievable upload and download speeds but horrible range. Hooked my Nighthawk up as my router and have 0 dead spots in my 3 story home. Best of both worlds! Nighthawk rocks!
I went from TP-LINK's TL-WR841N router to this one and there was such a difference in speed and range. I live in an apartment and when I would go down to the parking lot right in front of the apartment, I barely had one bar. Now I go to the other side of the parking lot and I still have three. Would recommend!
