This is a very good and fast router

Quickly and smoothly taken one company as AccessPoint. Works perfectly also on the 2.4 band. The network share via the USB port also works great and is very fast. A top device!

• Gui is easy (if you are familiar with Netgear)
• 2.5 Gbps port
• Device is huge in size

Fast, safe, good range. I was already familiar with Netgear through previous models and this one works very similarly. So for me the setup was quite easy to do. Only the placement was a challenge because this router is about 1.5 times larger than my previous model.

Super fast and easy to manage

• Super fast
• Connect many devices
• Online app limited

There appeared to be a malfunction at Netgear so that I could not create an account online. This is necessary for the installation of the router. After the Netgear service desk created an account, the installation could begin. This goes fairly smoothly. It is advisable to do the installation wired because the app is limited in the possibilities.
