I exchanged a Netgear Rangemax router that dropped the signal 3 times in one week for this one a few weeks ago, and have been very happy with my purchase. It is very reliable so far and has not dropped the signal, even though it is upstairs in a 2,600 sq. ft. home. We have 1 computer, 2 laptops and use Netflix through a BluRay player.
The only minor thing is that the Belkin dashboard user interface is a bit different and you have to click on the lock symbol after entering your password to secure it again. I also could not get the Intellistream to work after running a speed test, but the main thing is that the router has not dropped the signal.
I had previously owned a Netgear Rangemax router for 10 plus years and it worked great. I decided to upgrade to this Netgear router when I purchased a BluRay player with Netflix, thinking that this was a reliable brand. Unfortunately, I was sorely disappointed when it dropped the signal THREE times in the first week of installing it, and each time I had to turn it off and restart it. It was upstairs in our 2,600 sq. ft. home.
I exchanged this router for a Belkin-AC750 Dual Band wireless router for the same price a few weeks ago, and have had no problems with dropped signals. I have been happier with this purchase, and don't know if I got a defective Netgear model, though.

I have always been happy with Sony digital cameras, so after reading reviews about different brands of Blu-Ray players, I decided to purchase this Sony player. We wanted to switch to Netflix downstreaming movies, and our older Samsung TV is not wireless.
I wasn't sure how well Netflix would work with our light speed Roadrunner internet service, but we were pleasantly surprised how quickly this player connects to our router upstairs and downloads movies! The Blu-Ray picture and sound quality is top notch, too.
Another reviewer said that you would not get subtitles with this player, but when using Netflix, you have to choose English subtitles for each movie through the Netflix application. All the movies that we have watched so far have subtitles.
It is fun to download pictures from our computer upstairs and have a slide show on our TV with this player, too!
The only complaint I have is one time when I was fast-forwarding a Netflix documentary, the player froze and I had to unplug it to get it to work again. Another time it froze briefly, but we got it to play again.
The instructions were concise and not very detailed. It was slow to use the remote to type in my long password to manually hook up my network, and the capital letter key was located on the lower lefthand corner. They should improve the application interface since it was more tricky to figure out how to navigate.
We also purchased the Insignia HDMI cable for improved picture quality and sound.
