Stable connection and easy to setup

Netgear router is easy to setup. Connection is stable and no over heating issues as compared to my previous Asus router.

Just 1 thing missing

It does almost everything I like it to. The only thing missing is the ability to name devices (that I used to have on a previous product). It's nice to be able to identify what each item is on the network as they don't always self-identify.

We have had this router for almost 6 years and it's still working well. I should have updated the firmware a year or two ago. I finally did a week ago and it helped a lot

Low cost high quality router

R6220 Four or five year old router which was lower priced option. Gas performed very well. Provides coverage for 2700 sq ft house with excellent reception and very good speed in every room. Only reason looking to upgrade we want option to use parental controls. Most people would be happy to purchase our used router.

Decent router has held up for years

I wish the back end software was easier to update. It always fails even though the new firmware is on website so I will try manual. Also the UI for settings is overly complex and could be streamlined. Instead of Basic/advanced, just list all settings continuously on each tab/category and grey out the advanced items or list at bottom below a line. I dislike when there is 3 or 4 different ways to do something in a settings software as it is often unclear if you are accomplishing the same thing and it inherently makes the UI more complicated. Overall router has worked fine though. I have a pretty basic setup.

This router is a little powerhouse!

I rarely have to power reset and the bright lights are easy to see, so I know it's doing its job!

This Router rarely has to be reset and the lights glow brightly, so I can see the status. I highly recommend this Netgrear Router- excellent value for the cost.

No issues

My previous roommate had this model and when they moved out I bought the same one because we had never had any issues. Works great and is easy to set up.

Mostly great

Works really well, no connectivity issues. The only issue I have is many unknown devices listed as connected to the router. They're all mine but some devices like my work computer and Apple tv's are listed as unknown. Not a big deal really, I'm very satisfied with this model and would buy the newest one when I am ready to upgrade.

Works Fine

Works fine. It just stopped responding to browser gui request. Three browsers cannot or refuse to connect. Firefox allows connection request only after telling it to go ahead after warning about an unsecured connection. Worked fine for years before something changed.

NETGEAR AC 1200

The router reviews are great. I purchased the router so I can setup separate networks for my family and out renters. The representative was impatient but he was knowledgeable. Cable company had to come and do some outside work. Overall, this appears to be a great router.
