I bought this to replace a Netgear router I bought from Radio Shack seven years ago - the router needed constant resets so I figured it was time to replace it to bury and buy a new one. I bought it based on the positive to negative reviews. Setup was easy. All my devices connected with no problems. However, once I started using it, I noticed a lag when watching movies on iPad. My son and I play a lot of online games and we broke up every five minutes - it was TERRIBLE (no router reset, just dropped connection). Then I dealt with the negative reviews, especially for the games. That's when I realized I hadn't researched enough. You've never had to reset your router, but you've had to deal with dropped connections (which can really ruin the game when you're grinding, lol). To be honest I want to hook up a router and move on. I don't want to spend 4 hours changing settings and checking for lost packets with some guy on the phone - I just want to plug it in and get on with it. I didn't ask for help after reading negative reviews. As much as I hate my Netgear router right now, one thing I can say: I plugged it in and it ran forever with no tweaks, no phone calls or troubleshooting, the hardware might fail seven years later, but at least it worked out of the box, without the science team to call I sent it back the same day I received it and reinstalled my ailing Netgear router. Unfortunately I have to reset it, but I don't lose connection mid-game.
