On the surface wonderful, but once in play bad

I use it in...:Large home
My trusty Netgear WNDR3700 is showing its age, and has been acting spotty as of late. So, I decided its time to upgrade to a newer router. Initially I was looking at one of the newer Netgears, but the price of this Belkin AC router struck my interest. And I thought I could not go wrong; as I have a cheaper Belkin router in another home and it works well.
Boy was I wrong. First off, the installation was simple and easy. The web interface is perhaps a bit too user friendly and doesn't expose some advanced functions that I was used to with the Netgear... but it did the trick.
The signal range was poor, my old Netgear would reach the furthest part of my house; yet the Belkin would not.
But I found that the functionality of this router must modify the packets sent to and from the internet in some fashion or another; to a degree that I could NOT transfer large (over 100Mb) files via FTP to my FTP server... which I could do flawlessly with the Netgear. The file transfers would get to 100% and then would think.. and think.. and then timeout without receiving confirmation from the FTP server that the upload was completed; and the FTP software (CuteFTP and Filezilla) would restart the upload from the beginning. I didn't realize this was happening, until I realized my uploads were taking way longer than normal....
Upon talking to Belkin support, I was instructed to define a static IP and place my desktop in the DMZ zone; opening it up for potential network attack.. which in my opinion should not be required for regular FTP usage...
So I ended up returning it for an Asus RT-N66R wireless N router, which ended up working 10000 times better...
What's great about it: Price, but functionality is not there
What's not so great: Breaks large FTP transfers and more
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
