Set up my new modem and I’m not really that impressed...even though our speed is better than with our previous internet server, there is lots of lag time.

Don't update out of warranty-Update Bricked router

I bought this about two years ago. Netgear came highly recommended. It was a little expensive but was packed with features that made the little extra expense reasonable. The app seem was nice for setup and periodic adjustments. However, I ran the update from the app a couple days ago and, Voila! I get my very own Netgear brick. That is the long story short. Basically I ran the update and the power light turned to a flashing amber for 3 days straight because disrupting the update would cause an issue like bricking the router. The blinking amber according to the manual is update in progress/factory reset button has been pushed. I figured nothing a little tech support call couldn't fix....I call the number and can't even connect to a human being without paying because the warranty has expired. Hmmm...guess you shouldn't update outside of the warranty period of 90 days. I'll get my update. A new router and it certainly will not be a Netgear. Terrible experience with this, I thought a company with such high recommendation would be better. I thought wrong.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have struggled to get internet connection in my apartment for months, I finally purchased this router to go with the modem I rent and now the WiFi is stable consistently and very easy to manage and maintain with the netgear app. Highly recommend!
I purchased this extender because I had a weak wifi signal in the furthest room of the house. My wifi would lag and I was getting 1 bar. After connecting the extender I am able to run wifi smoothly without the lagging and have all bars. Highly recommend!!!
