There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Well, it worked for a while. A good 4-5 months or so. And now when this router is on, it not only doesn't work much of the time but it also interferes with the WiFi from our cable company (Xfinity) as well. As soon as I unplug the Netgear router then my Xfinity WiFi starts working just fine again. But once I plug in this Netgear Wifi Router then eventually everything WiFi related goes haywire within an hour.
Unfortunately, the free tech. support ended for this product. So now I have to pay a shite load of money if I want support from NetGear to figure out why this is happening. Funny how it worked just fine until my free tech support was over. Now all sorts of problems.
When it did work, it was HELLA fast. Loved it. But if something doesn't work, doesn't matter how fast it is.
UPDATE: I find this Router works well and gets along with my Xfinity Router for a while.But over time then they begin to get into conflict and both stop working, as long as the NetGear is on. So taking advice from another reviewer here, I have installed a timer that will shut off the NetGear router twice a day (once mid-day, when most of us are gone and once in the middle of the night when nobody is using it). From what the other reviewer indicated, this resets the device and prevents it from getting into conflict. In other words, it keeps working well if it's shut down and re-started regularly. So I'm trying that to see if this solves our problems. If that works, I'll re-rate this at 3-stars. But you shouldn't have to do this in order for a product to function properly and NetGear should provide tech support for longer than 3 months too. So I'll never rate this more than 3 stars just for those reasons.
