I have only had in use for 5 days and so far everything is working great. that is the best I can say at this time

Yes. I have yet to have any problems with it. Strong to. I live I. An apartment and I can go out on my patio and halfway down the stairs.

So far, ABSOLUTELY. It seems forgiving when power is interrupted. I recently pulled the plugs on everything for a few hours to rearrange power distribution schemes; Not Once did my router loose track of its settings...

No, it constantly locked up and had to be restarted every day.I replaced it with the Asus rt-n12 and have had great results.

Well, so far for streaming, I have found it very reliable. However,in Internet usage I sometimes have brief interruptions.

I have a home network that uses Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8, my printer, a bluray player, and a kindle. Haven't had ANY problems at all. And it was the easiest install I ever had. Used the same network name and password as my old router and was up and running in literally minutes.

It's when you place order. It's been working fine without any problem. My net speed increase with this router. If you are planning to use lots of video or smart TV this is for you. Good luck.

Nope, just link it to your router, I had no problems with this unit, I am still using it today, no problems.

This is the one I have had for a year now and I have no issues with it. I know nothing about this stuff but got a tablet last Jan and didnt have wifi, so I got this and was able to hook it up myself and its been working fine. So if all you need is a router, why spend more? The price is probably low because now it seems most everything seems to have built in wifi.

J GilbertI Agree with your assessment of Netgear routers. I had similar bad experiences with two Netgear routers where they both went out within two years of my purchase. In fact the last netgear router just stopped working 10 days after the year warranty expired, and Netgear would not provide any consideration. I am convinced their router products are not built to last. Also their support leaves something to be desired.Kenneth H

It's a secure router and handles traffic well but its not without its own issues depending on configuration. For an actual SMB think about something like "Check Point UTM-1 Edge NW" ... its hundreds more but you'll get insight into traffic usage and malware threats a lot better, plus web filtering etc. The Rv220w is very cumbersome and time intensive for those purposes

Mine have been working fine for 2 years. The are hard to reconnect when I have to change routers. It seeps to help if I shut them off for at least 10 minutes before trying to reconnect to router.

The company i work for has a ddwrt based router that supports 40+ devices. And, I wouldn't consider it as nice as this device.Also, this device has the ability to become a public hotspot, with pay-per-use and everything. So I'm guessing it can handle quite a lot.

Hi W.B., performance will vary depending on the wireless environment in your home, interference, construction of the home, but this router should work well for you. We would also recommend taking a look at some of our routers with enhanced signal transmission given the size of your home, such as the R7000 or R8000.

Joanne I am sorry I cannot compare. I can say the one I have is not good but i have yet to determine if it is the router or my Internet speed. Sorry I can't be better assistance.

I agree I tried a Belkin router because for the price it seemed better than linksys. i am constantly restarting the router and looseing connection. I to am returning the belkin to get a lynksys.

No. Get a different router though. Even with the latest patch this one still doesn't like to play nice more than 80% of the time.

I actually have my router on the far end of the house. I don't have any issues whatsoever in the house and get full through put of my speed. I have had it several months now and LOVE it. Best router I have ever had. As I said....range has not been an issue and in fact my neighbor has complained that he gets a better signal from my wi-fi than his own in his house. LOL. Hope that helps.

Sorry I have not had an issue but really have not used the router that much yet.

Must be...I am very satisfied with this router. It serves my entire house even the hard to reach spots that my previous router could not reach. We run about 10 different components and do not have any issues. Works great!!

Yes, it will work. In the previous reply are the settings that you need to setup in order to use this router. Best regards.
