Product was priced perfect. My old router suddenly died after having it over 5 years. It was also a Netgear (N300), so I had to purchase one from Walmart and after reading about the AC netgear, I decided to order this one which cost the same as the N300 I purchased from Walmart. Very pleased with it thus far. Hopefully it will last just as long.

Caused me a lot of trouble

Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2020

This piece of crap didn't just fail, it did it a little at a time and random failures. First my laptop wouldn't get wifi unless I plugged in an ethernet cable. Then it stopped working with the cable and wifi was fine. Then my smart TV would not work with wifi and I thought it was going out. Even consulted the manufacturer and they said it was the TV. My smart thermostat would work intermittently with the wifi. Then my security cameras stopped connecting. The manufacturer sent me a link to check my wifi with my phone and that's when I realized that it wasn't connecting either. You have to realize that all this time my laptop and girl friend's laptop worked fine with wifi, so I figured the router was OK. So I plugged the ethernet cable in my girlfriend's laptop to access the router directly and it would not connect. Again, remember that all this time the wifi worked fine with both laptops! But then I realized that all of those things could not be going bad and there was only one common denominator - the possessed router. If it had just failed, that would have been understandable. But to randomly disconnect from all those devices was as if it was cursed. A new router fixed the problem, as I expected.

This is a good personal Network router with WiFi capability. It's about as reliable as other Netgear products I've used. Which is a good thing. The one thing that doesn't get this router for stars is one minor issue. The router has to be periodically power cycled approximately once every 2 to 3 months. I've also noticed that some devices have issues connecting to the 5G wireless connection. Normally this is resolved by power cycling the unit. However it is mildly inconvenient. Thus the reason for only 4 of 5 stars

functional but not fast

everything worked properly, but mainly I'm giving 2 stars because it is slow....can't get more than 30Mbit download speed thru this on any of my devices - several other routers I own are MUCH faster

Nice Router.

I bought this router primarily as a back up router so that I would have one to fall back to in the event that my other router should fail. I tried it out and it was a great router. The AC routers far surpass the old N routers that I was used to previously.

Product and customer service scam

Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2018

Verified Purchase

Has no range unless you stand up close to it. The warranty for someone to help you closes after 90 days, and funny enough that’s when the range was suddenly shortened. When i called customer support, they said I would have to pay $50 for them to increase the signal range. I said I couldn’t even use it until I went right next to it. I couldn’t even move 10 feet away or the signal would be lost! That’s not “long range”. Also, they tried to sell me $89 customer service help for 6 months in case the signal keeps breaking down. I could just buy another, better product for that amount. The signal was great for 90 days and a few days after my warranty expired it completely went into reverse. This product is terrible and don’t buy it.

Good Router but Throughput Degrades Over Time

Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2016

Verified Purchase

In general this router works very well. However, the throughput does gradually degrade over time, requiring a reset every 1 to 2 months. Then full capacity is restored.i eliminated the modem by having a direct Ethernet connection to the modem for a period of 1 month with no degradation in throughput.

This router works fine..when it works

Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2015

This router works fine....when it works. I used it for just over six months and it then began to freeze. I swapped it out with a Meraki unit as I was concerned that it was a ISP problem but the Meraki worked fine. Swapped back to the Netgear and freezing. Contact Netgear and they want nothing to do with it, even though they claim 1 year hardware warranty. A product is only as good as the support of the company providing it and so just 1 star here.

100Mbit Wan Port

Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2017

Verified Purchase

100 megabits on Wan limits the potential of WiFi types g, n, and AC. If I was a typical layman I might never know I was paying for 300MBit downstream and throttling it to 1/3 over the air. I went and got a 1.8 Gigabit 32 x 8 modem with built in WiFi and I get full 300Mbit on 5ghz AC.
