Dropping signal? CHANGE CHANNEL.This is a great router. I bought it to replace a WNDR3700 that a lightning strike claimed. I took the step down because I didn’t need gigabit. I had trouble with signal strength and drops as well. If you have Android, the best thing you can do is download a Wi-Fi analyzer. This will show you which channel everyone around you is using and allow you to pick the cleanest air. Simply setting it up out of the box on channel 6 will probably be a no-go. Also, enabling the right security to get the 300 mbps N standard helps. Using the analyzer, I picked a clear channel, but still could not connect. Back to the screen that shows a timeline graph, and I learned that for whatever reason, this channel bottoms out every 2-3 seconds. Switched to a higher channel, and I’ve never looked back. Same story with setting up the 5ghz bandwidth. I used my Xoom with the analyzer to travel around my house finding the best channel solution for strength and clarity.That being said, 2 things I didn’t like. First is the Netgear user interface you use through your browser to change the settings. It just plain stinks, and no matter how many times you may change a setting, it will revert.Second is the large dome you see on top of the router that serves as a WPS switch. It has 8 blue LED lights in it that twinkle with router activity, and is entirely bright enough to illuminate an entire room at night. (See my photo above) Nowhere in the instruction sheet is this addressed, but through trial and error, I found a simple pressing of the button turns it off. Also, if at all possible, you will want to stand this router up for heat dissipation. With the attached feet, you can stand it up in either direction.

Bought this along with the ARRIS SURFboard SB6121 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem ARRIS SURFboard SB6121 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem – Retail Packaging – Blackto replace the rental modem from my ISP. I’ve never had a router/modem combo where it was two separate devices so I feared that there would be some complications. I’ve had this for almost two months now and it has been great. I am pulling 84mbps with a direct wire connection with my custom desktop to the router which is slightly higher than what the rental performed at but the real improvement is in the dual band feature of this router. I only have 2-3 devices at any given time connected wireless (laptop, iPad Mini, Fire TV stick) and the rental modem always cut me off or stopped working while watching a show. With the dual band router I have not had any issues with maintaining a connection. Set up was very easy with this combo and I highly recommend it for anyone who is looking to replace their ISP’s rental modem.

We have had this for 5+ years. It don’t come with a cd to install, it has the info on ur router to install. To set up or install – Just go to the default access (in photo) website and use the login and password that’s on the router and follow instructions. That way you never lose the info incase you need to set up again or change anything. You can also update the router. We have only had to reset up once. You can give your wifi a personal name so you know what is yours. After 5 years I now understand the blue button does. My daughter got a newer 3ds for Christmas and I used the blue button to set it up on our wifi easier and faster. I have multiple items going at one time and have never had any problems. 10 devices run on it then with my kids friends over we have probably had 25 max with no problems. Just like any computer or device it does need to be powered down and turned right back on at least once a month. It’s been the best for us with no problems. I’m shocked it’s still going!!

If you’re second guessing your routers speed, you need this affordable router. My internet plan is for 100mbs but my old router was only able to put out 30mbs. Finally with this new router I get my full 100mbs, I have a decent sized house and I receive WiFi throughout my entire house. The 5G feature is amazing as it produces faster WiFi speeds.
