It is fast

It took a long time to get hooked up including over one hour on the phone with my internet provider Comcast. My printer disconnects itself indicating I dont have internet service.
The router works great. It was easy to set up and supports my homes internet and WiFi use perfectly. I don’t have to pay a monthly equipment rental fee from my service provider! The NETGEAR app is an added bonus. I was having trouble connecting to my service the other day, but with the app and some patience, I got reconnected in no time! Very happy with my NETGEAR product.
I've had this device for just under a year and have been having problems with connectivity and throughput, which continued after moving the router closer to the TVs, which had the biggest problem. I have 300 Mbps cable service. I got the Ookla Speedtest app and learned that my Ethernet is running at ~340 Mbps (great!). WiFi download speeds were all over the map, depending on the device.

I've always bought new and been told to stay away from refurbished electronics. I took a chance with this refurbished router and have had no issues at all!
We had fiber brought into the house and our router was in the basement. This create coverage problems with the second floor office. We put in a NETGEAR AC1750 extender and the difference is night and day. Great product and less expensive than many of the alternatives.
