From every router I have had throughout the years I have to say hands down that the netfear has never let me down. I've used countless routers that end up being a waste of time and money and don't work properly. I've never had a problem with my router and I've had it for years.
I have had Netgear before, so I upgraded my Netgear, love the easy way I was able to install it and how fast my internet is now. I will definitely continue to recommend to my friends and family to use Netgear
Setup on this Modem + Router is pretty easy and it has plenty high bandwidth and signal capacity for my one bedroom apartment (I would recommend it for moderate sized houses also). Plenty of ethernet ports and has both 2.4ghz and 5ghz signal. Highly recommend for console gamers and most typical internet users.
Once I figured out how to connect my surface pro 3 to get internet connection, the rest was a piece of cake. Luckily I had old computer to get connected and then was able to connect surface pro wirelessly. Now all my devices are wireless. Also the cable modem is great; the speed is great too. This is my 3rd Netgear over the years and I'm very pleased with the equipment.
