When paired with exsisting internet the router allowed me to use my computer without interruption. The router also allows me to stream tv shows at the same time without interruption. Thank you!!
I am someone who loves working on computers and learning new programs, but am challenged when it comes to how all the hardware is connected and set up. I needed a new router and was dreading getting everything connected throughout the house. This router was recommended by a friend. The salesman assured me that the set up was super easy and user friendly. He was right! I downloaded the app which goes through simple step by step instructions. The router was installed and all my home devices connected in less than 30 minutes. Everything works perfectly. Great speed and connectivity in a household of 4 with multiple devices requiring internet access. Thank you for making this so simple!
It typical for speeds to be lower over WiFi than connected via Ethernet and this router is no exception. The difference is that the loss of speed isn't significant with this router, even on a different floor in a different area of the house. I have the router sitting in the basement on top of my desk (right below an air duct) and the speed loss 5 feet from the router compared to the first floor is minimal, regardless of where I am on the floor. One thing that has confused me is that sometimes I get 200 Mbps speeds and other times I may get as low as 20mbps, despite the internet speed using the nighthawk speed test to be right around 200mbps. Maybe there is just a lot of 2.4 or 5 GHz congestion during those times? I also really enjoy that Circle is integrated and allows you to set up different devices to use different filters and set Google safe search and YouTube retracted. This is one thing that is lacking when using openDNS. Overall, excellent router after only a week.
