Works great, the extra security is a nice e bonus and well worth the catch. I do cyber security for a living and it's caught everything I tossed at it.
As all WiFi routers lose signal strength with age and wear, I was looking for a new one to replace my old netgear router of well over 5-7 years of age. My new Netgear AC2300 Nighthawk reaches parts of the house my old one couldn't even reach even when it was new. Streaming and download speeds are quite impressive and I have connectivity in my front and back yards. This router is DEFINITELY well worth the money spent. I already have recommended it to friends and would gladly recommend this product to anyone in the market for a new WiFi router.
I recently was frustrated with the reception of my wifi router that came from my local cable provider. For many months I wasn't able to get any reception in my basement. I looked at adding a extender buy couldn't find any that was compatible with my current wifi router. I decided to give netgear a try. I was instantly satisfied. not only did I get service where I wasn't able to before, I also got faster speeds on my downloads. Also there wasn't any longer any dropped wifi signal. In summary get a Netgear router! My cable providers router was good but the Netgear router is GREAT!
Replaced my old router with the netgear ac2300. Could tell a difference immediately. No lagging while using multiple devices at the same time and a fairly good distance away from source. Would definitely recommend.
