One glaring problem that is not real clear up front, is the fact you can't use your Ethernet-based desk-top computer.

I don't like the fact that there is not an IP that I can use to access the firmware

I don't know how well it works in a large suburban home, but the fact that this thing cuts through eleven brick walls like a hot knife through warm butter makes it hard for me to imagine it NOT working

Originally, I set this up the regular way and speeds did increase substantially on our 5g smartphones as well as on our Chromebooks

Is working as it should.

(I know what I'm doing) , and of course, it did work as it did the prior 3

Some of the reviews on this page seem to be on lesser products by netgear that don't work as

Unfortunately it didn't work as I expected it always needs to be restarted to work properly, but i give 3 stares for its coverage and easy to set up .

Sincerely recommend that when you see a NetGear product to ......run as fast as you can!

I elected to use the 2GHz band to communicate with the router as well as for routine internet usage while using the 5GHz band for streaming and online gaming

Normal 'net surfing appears to be just as rapid as over our existing WiFi

While it is true that many items are received at discounted rates or complimentary, my reviews are completely unbiased as well as honest and are my personal experiences and opinion of the product

Works as it is meant to.
