After spending thousands trying to secure my devices and buying several routers following a nearly 2 year cyberstalking problem, I feel like this router with Bitdefender, Finally has taken care of it and helps me feel safe again. Now I don’t feel like I even need to worry about my security system being a tool to spy on me as was happening before. Having a home WiFi network without a router that is capable of preventing your devices from attack is counterproductive. This router was easy to set up and simple to create the proper foundation of a secure home network.
I’ve owned all kinds of routers they were okay but didn’t really do much to block threats. When I first decided to buy a NetGear Router it boosted my Modems potential by a lot i have 2 video game consoles that run at the same time almost everyday because me and my brother play a lot of video games and we also have about 7-10 electronics running in different parts of the house and we still manage to have low Ping and the gaming experience is far beyond better than any other router I’ve owned. Also the security NetGear provides helps block all types of url threats for both my iOS and Android devices great security for devices.
Had to call technical support one day after setting this new modem, up as described in manual. Told to remove all cables, unplug power, wait one minute, connect cables in a given order and re-power the modem. This worked, but now I have to do it 1 or 2 times every day. My old modem, a Motorola surfboard lasted 7 years with no problems.
