I find this router is incredibly hard to set up. It kept telling me I have static IP. Choosing dynamic IP would not connect either. I have a comcast connection in San Francisco, my current netgear router works just fine but I wanted something newer for an apartment setting. I have spent total 3 hours trying to set it up, no luck. So far, WORST experience on this product. Tried calling customer service number, voice mail box is full and no one ever answered that damn phone. How is the set up straightforward? I bought it early Jan and still laid there not usable. Am I missing something?

Would recommend, inexpensive updated router from what i had and i went from 16mbps to 87mbps (paying for 50). Paired with AC750 extender and now get 60mbps on my second floor with the router in the basement.

I upgraded from an older Netgear extender due to a change in internet service provider.  Not sure why but the old extender didn't work well with the new provider.  The AC1900 is working great and the coverage is fantastic.

I bought a Netgear Extender because my router is also from Netgear and I'd read that set up is easier with the same manufacturer.  I was up and running in 10 minutes flat!  Super easy to set up!

This is a nice router. I replaced a Netgear router that was about a year old with this one. I do not notice a speed difference, but there is a significant difference in range, with this router being much better. I can now get a decent signal in the far end of the basement, with the router being on the second floor. The signal is stronger at all points in the house. I haven't had to reboot it yet.

I wanted a no frills router to keep. My wireless security camera on a separate network.  I've had good luck with the latest Netgear products.  Good range, no reboots required.

Signal is much better than my last router.  I have a two story house and I get a signal everywhere in the house, even downstairs in the garage.  Netflix and On-demand download without any problems.  Netgear Customer Service is excellent.  Easy Set Up!

I replaced this dual band wireless router with my old netgear that served me fine for past 5 years.  The new unit works fine.  Easy to setup and range coverage is excellent.

Everything in my house from the Router to the Wifi is NetGear (like NetGear and it makes things more compatible). I already had several of these put in by my Cable provider for my Original Router/Wifi. But I was having some issues with my new laptop that I used mostly in my bedroom. So I bought one of these (refurbished) so I could use a hardwire to my laptop in my bedroom. Running speed test before and after I increased the speed from around 10Mbps to 15 Mbps, with out any lag time like I would have occasionally with the Wifi. These things work great through the power system. Plus they are simple to install just plug it in no codes to enter or setup. Just plug and play. As far as it being refurbished it works good as new.

Bought this for my girlfriend  who had moved into a larger apartment and was having issue with connectivity on her old WiFi router.  Router work very well, good connectivity and signal throughout the apartment. set up was easy. After reading some of the other reviews, I would recommend updating the firmware, which is very easy to do through the Web Admin interface. Setup was Easy. very happy with this router

I have an 1800 square foot house and that age old problem where the modem and router is on one end of the house on the first floor and my home office is on the second floor on the opposite end of the house. I've had a series of unsatisfactory routers over the years that weren't able to get the distance.

I picked up this guy because I've always liked Asus quality and because of the directional antennas. It's relatively cheap and all of my devices use the N standard so there was no need to pay extra to pick up whatever the new hotness is.

This guy has performed well. With a previous Netgear router I could count on getting three bars and having connection issues in the aforementioned home office. With this router it's four to five bars and I've never noticed connectivity issues. All in all this is a reliable router and the ability to aim the directional antennas is definitely worth it.

One note: I've seen a lot of reviewers ding this because of firmware issues. I picked this up at the end of 2014 and didn't have any issues or need to update the firmware so it's very possible that newer shipments have fixed this issue.

My router is in the far end of my house and the signal has always been weak in my basement and kitchen which is on the other end of the house. I ordered this because of the good reviews and the fact that I have a Netgear  router and am happy with it. Set up is easy with a laptop or desk top.and took about 5 minutes. Signal problem solved.

I had an old Cisco router that was a reman., that's what the cheapos sent me when the first one burned out. This Netgear router is great, better range and way faster streaming.

I bought this router as an upgrade to my previous router as i was hardly getting 5 Mbps from WiFi while using netgear wireless G router.
This router is working excellently and I am getting upto 90 Mbps even from the room which is far from the router. Given the price range its a good choice in the dual band outer which supports 802 11 ABGN.

I bought this to replace my Comcast rental modem router (goodbye stupid rental fee!) and I can't tell the difference at all (could possibly work even better). I have been using the modem for about 3 weeks now, and I have not encountered any issues. The manual is online so make sure to download it before disconnecting your working modem. The instructions are very straightforward. Netgear is definitely a reliable brand.

So far no problems yet however I am using this in conjunction with another router to further extend my network.

This router actually works better than the non refurbished WNDR3400 router that I already had at home.  Im very happy with the easy setup that netgear offers in this router.  Was able to set this router up in less that 5 minutes.
