It works fine for day-to-day browsing, but it does drop the wifi connection every few hours. You wont notice it if only browsing, but if you are trying to keep a VPN connection going or a long FTP transfer you will notice. Netgear said it could happen if you had 2.4GHz and 5GHz wifi on your main router (As have most modern routers today) and that a software fix was available in the latest release. After I upgraded the device, it made very little difference. I even switched off 5GHz and it still does the same annoying connection dropping every so often. I give it one star due to the ease of setting it up and the nice user interface.
