This router is EASY to set up. I ran through the guide quickly enough, changed the SSIS and access paskeys, and was off and running. the signal is strong and reliable, and covers the house quite well, and the signal extends outside onto the deck and yard nicely enough.
The router comes with a family protection feature that allows you to set up an account that will check and filter every request going through the router, both on WiFi and through the ethernet. Nothing is fool proof, but it provides a great layer of protection for our family.
We have a "Micro-Cell" signal booster from AT&T. We connected it to a port on the router's ethernet, and it receives a strong, reliable connection to the internet. I've connected an external hard drive to a USB port, which makes the drive available on our network, which is handy when we're at home. Its great having a shared drive for pictures, songs, documents and other files we like to share. I haven't used the "cloud" feature, but I'm planning on getting a bigger drive and hooking that up as well. I doubt it will be too difficult, but I can't speak to that yet.
In addition to the MicroCell, I typically have 2 computers wired on the Ethernet, 1-3 laptops (including work laptops connecting through VPN - without difficuty), 2 kindle fire's, a windows tablet, a windows phone and an android tablet and phone. Everything can be connected at once, and it works just fine. We've had study groups over, and they connect their phones, tablets, and computers to the Wi-Fi as well. I'm not sure how many concurrent connections it handles, but we haven't capped out yet, so it seems it is more than 10 or 12.
I have a 'normal' sized 3-bedroom split-entry house, and this router adequately covers the house, although I did get a signal booster to increase the speed in the back bedroom. The bedroom, however, is on a different floor, and the signal travels through not only the floor, but the stairs and a couple of walls. It makes it, but with the signal booster at the top of the steps, there's improved bandwidth in that back corner. I'm sure if I centered the router better in the house, I wouldn't need it, but the way its laid out, putting it in the middle would be awkward, so its off to one side.
I'm VERY glad I picked up this router, and I heartily recommend it.
I decided to upgrade my WiFi with this N, Dual Band router and so far it has been consistent and powerful. I get plenty of coverage in the far reaches of my home (went from fluctuating from 1-3 bars constantly to a STEADY FULL BARS in the far rooms with an occasional 3. It never drops to less than 3 which is exactly what I wanted in a new, powerful router!).
SETUP:
Setup was a breeze. Plugged it in, changed the WiFi name and network in the router settings via my laptop, and picked a channel that had the fewest interference in my area (this was optional, but I've been told it can help with your WiFi signal and it was easy to do in the settings menu). Worked perfectly.
TECH SUPPORT REVIEW:
I did try to be more advanced with the router than I should have.... and it caused me a headache and some troubles. I read online that adding a WiFi router to my existing modem wasn't easy and needed some more intensive, advanced setting changes.
After bricking my router (blinking lights, no WiFi, and the factory reset option I Googled didn't seem to work) trying to change these settings, I was forced to call Netgear tech support. After about 5 minutes at home at 11:30 at night, I was connected to a tech that, while he had a strong accent, we were able to clearly communicate and he was very knowledgeable. He walked me through how to do a proper factory reset (I don't know why this wasn't in the online manual or in any of the included printouts) and presto, we were up and running perfectly after about a 20 minute call. Not bad.
SUMMARY:
Ease of setup, my experience with tech support was positive. Strong range and speed to the extremes of my house (your hours and results may vary, of course). Hopefully, like all products, it serves me well for a few years and i won't have to reboot or reset often..
Top reviews from other countries
This machine is great though. Range, ease of use, security, speed, and features are all great. It even has parental controls which work well.
The only issue that people may face is range if you have a huge house or difficult materials. This reaches all 3000 square feet of my house and workshop plus most of my town lot. my neighbour 1 block away actually gets on my wifi every once in a while from his house (it is almost direct line of sight)
If you have stone walls, etc, you may need a repeater or another access point but otherwise this should serve all of your needs if it is positioned correctly (remember that a wall is thicker on an angle than is is in a straight line, so is a floor so you want to position it so it can go straight through most walls, not along the full length of it).
Our computer shop recommends netgear regularly because they are the lowest price brand that is reliable (D link should be avoided whenever possible. their consumer products are not up to snuff). This is a higher end product that will suit streaming, gaming, etc. The speeds will really come into play if you are transferring files between computer on the same network in which case it will be blazingly fast. I copied a full feature length movie in HD in about 30 seconds between my computers (the computer was the limiting factor).
Great product, attractive, functional, good price.
Lo tengo conectado en el salón de casa a un extensor de conexión por cable a través de la corriente (TP LINK ASIN: B00ADW9R22) desde el router principal Telecable que está en otra habitación. Con la peana vertical, detrás de la TV no ocupa casi espacio.
Proporciona dos nuevos puntos Wi-Fi (2,4 Ghz y 5 Ghz) para conectar smartphones, tablets, portátil... y 4 puertos Gigabit 10/100/1000 donde tengo conectados el deco de Telecable, la Xbox One y una Samsung Smart TV.
Todo lo que necesitaba en mi pequeña red doméstica. Fantástico.
