Only lasted a year and a half

Updated review 8/7/18 Router no longer connects to internet, laptop connected directly to modem with no problems, rebooted. Ended lease, rebooted again, factory reset still wouldn't connect, ended up connecting my old n router and now that the router's connectivity is only covered by a 1 year limited warranty I'm not paying for support, i would recommend another router for stability. . As with other browsers, I often had to restart the router to get it working. It was a great upgrade from ourโ€ฆ

  • Special offer
Cons
  • Can I add anything else

Not as advertised

While some people may find this product right for them, it definitely didn't work for me. It advertises that it's good for people with 8 or more Wi-Fi devices, which is why I bought it. Plus the fact that it needs to support multiple layers of 802.11 simultaneously. While I was able to connect my Windows 10 laptop to Apple phones and tablets without too much trouble; I couldn't establish stable Wi-Fi connections for two Kindles, nor for wired connections to a Samsung TV and AT&T Microcellโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Works for many
Cons
  • Some difficulties

Works with new things, old devices may not work.

This is a decent router but lacks the features you would expect from a standard WiFi router. For example, I can't limit radios to one band. I have old electronics that only work with 802.11G, don't mix B/G G ONLY. But that doesn't let me disable B. It is always in mixed mode and cannot be changed. It also doesn't have spiral antennas, they are permanent which means I can't add a longer or bigger antenna. There are no mounting holes. But it works and is faster than my internet connection so I'll

  • An absolute legend

An overview of the wireless routers from Netgear.

I bought this WiFi router to get more coverage in my home. I have a big screen TV that is connected to the internet and receives NETFLIX so I need this router to connect to the internet. This router is awesome and works great!

Pros
  • Good cause
Cons
  • Neutral

It was a good router.

Just ordered 2 more of this product. I have one in use and am happy with it for the job it is supposed to do. I even use it via USB connection. If something happens during the workday, with identical backup routers, I can simply replace the router, restore the configuration backup to the backup router, and be up and running quickly.

Pros
  • Positive only
Cons
  • A long time ago

The best WiFi router I've ever bought!

I recently switched from DSL to cable internet and wanted to save on the monthly fees for using the cable company's router, so I decided to buy a router from Amazon. First I bought TP Link. The signal had trouble transmitting through walls and up. I ran various speed tests in different places around the house and it didn't even go over 30Mbps when I was standing next to it. After returning it I discovered this amazing router and once installed I ran a speed test in my bedroom two rooms downโ€ฆ

Poor performance, died after firmware update

After less than a year of poor performance (wireless devices across the spectrum either don't get proper DNS IPs or turn off altogether), I left the router running with the recommended firmware Updated to version , ending in 42. The router did not come back after either a power outage or a reset. Judging by the LED indicators, neither WLAN nor WAN was working. Even though it was still under warranty, the 90 day tech support ended so they charged me $50 for sharing the troubleshooting steps. The

Router works great Website is great

I gave this router four stars because of its limited range. The router works fine, the site is great but too weak. I'm in another room just 10 feet away from me and my signal strength has dropped to 86%. With every step I take away from the router, I see the signal strength dropping. If I move one room further or go outside, the signal strength almost disappears. For single room use, this router would be fantastic. If I replace this router I will do it with another Netgear but I will have aโ€ฆ

I do not recommend this router!

I bought this Netgear 12/16 router. My Samsung Smart TV hasn't received a WiFi signal lately. My laptop and iPad are still receiving a WiFi signal. I can't watch Netflix what I'm doing since I bought this router. Free support has expired and they want to get paid to fix the issue. I refuse to pay them for something I think they should help me with for free. I will buy another router from another company and never buy a Netgear product again! I have an Arris modem and a very nice member of staff

  • Good Build
Cons
