I bought this router as an emergency option since my Frontier provided router died an ignominious death. This little Powerhouse was easy to set up with the app and unlike my previous router, has indicator lights that let me know exactly what is going on with it. Our internet connection is now secure, and I couldn't be happier knowing that I don't have to worry about unexpected frequent outages due to a piece of equipment that can't tell me exactly what is wrong with it. Bravo Netgear!
Signal strength is not great. Unit is about 70 feet from my main TV.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good router, it covers my entire house, the dual band wifi let's me connect all my devices both 5g and 2.5g. It has excellent speed, it increased my internet download speed from 90mbs to 480mbs and my upload speed from 11mbs to 90mbs
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Router works with tv and iPhone but will only stay connected to laptop for 5 minutes or less. Have replaced all cables and wires. Must restart install sequence to get router recognized even then will only stay connected for 5 minutes at a time. Speed is excellent but of no use if can’t stay connected.
