Reviews around price (4.71 of 5)

  • Although there are newer Netgear routers, I don't do a lot of work that requires any higher speed or capacity so this is better than my needs and at a great price
  • The current price of $68 is a steal for this gigabit technology.
  • I'm very happy with my purchase and would recommend this router to everyone needing a good router for a great price!!
  • You could find that the price of NETGEAR R6250, the junior product of R6300v2, is more expensive
  • Good price, really improved our download speed from the unit it replaced.

Reviews around range (4.25 of 5)

  • I bought it for $160, for the price this is a very good router with an excellent range.
  • This router did not identify all of my household items, range should not have been an issue as my home is 1700 sqft.
  • After having terrible connection and range due to the size of my home with my previous router, upgrading to this router I have no problem getting signal in the farthest points of my home and at faster and more reliable speeds.
  • The range seems a little weak but overall working better than the old Netgear that let the magic smoke out.
  • I give it 4 stars because my only complaint is the range

Reviews around signal (4.16 of 5)

  • Works great, awesome signal - had to get a repeater for the second floor (house built in 1800's), no complaints.
  • Sure the signal is a little weaker on the far side of the house but it works
  • For the past 2 years I always lost signal in our room or in the guest house
  • I have very weak signal in the front of my house and might have to look at a booster- the device is in the back of my house near my hub in a closet
  • Never had a problem, coverage with a strong signal is excellent

Reviews around wifi (3.57 of 5)

  • Super easy to setup, cured my slow WiFi issues, lots of advanced features and a bonus phone app for basic admin functions.
  • This is for the NETGEAR Smart WiFi Router AC1750 Dual Band Gigabi router.

Reviews around year (2.54 of 5)

  • I purchased this router in 2014 and didn't have any issues my first year or so.
  • Had the almost same exact model except this one is more updated but was going strong for about 3 and 1/2 years can't complain because it's recommended by your internet provider you should swap your router every 2-4 years.
  • For as big as the case is on this I don't see why the manufacture didn't add a small fan to it to help reduce heat, which as warm as it gets this could cause issues with the router over a period of its lifespan.
  • I'd been using a Netgear WNR3500L for many years and liked its vertical design, which is why I got this slightly older model instead of a newer one
  • Could NOT have been easier to get it setup to replace my now-dead 4 y/o NetGear router.

Reviews around experience (2.41 of 5)

  • Terrible, terrible, horrible experience trying to set this unit up
  • It is one of the MOST aggravating experiences you will ever have
  • Unfortunately, having previous positive experiences with Netgear products, this issue causes hesitation and skepticism upon future purchases of Netgear products.
  • The Seller is very courteous, when I left a message they returned my call and were very knowledgeable (I wish I can give 4 stars)the reason for the 3 stars is that they charged me $8 to return!not a good experience after all.
  • amazon tried to remedy the experience by giving me an adapter that they offer for sale.

Reviews around address (2.23 of 5)

  • (Some older printers may need to use static IP addresses)
  • For as big as the case is on this I don't see why the manufacture didn't add a small fan to it to help reduce heat, which as warm as it gets this could cause issues with the router over a period of its lifespan.
  • We have a network printer that I needed to set a static IP address for and it was easy to do that without having to look at the instructions
  • Wifi printing is just as fast as if my computer was plugged into the printer itsel.
  • We bought this router to replace our broken D-Link router and it was extremely easy to install.

Reviews around drive (1.49 of 5)

  • Netgear tech support advised me that the drive was not compatible with the router and referred me to a "compatibility" list url.
  • It has the capability to allow you plug a hard drive into the router via a usb plug and then access the hard drive via the internet.
  • so I can plug my external hard drive & printer into my network
  • pics AMAZON has of this router above at time I write this is a 4 tab/strip USB 2.0 like mine2:Internal scans using software reads as listed in unit's OWN data that the WiFi 2.4 and 5Ghz chips and some code are from the 4500... but a higher V number than sold (strange, I know)
  • Nice to see USB 3.0 in this model too, which should work great for a USB 3.0 portable drive

Reviews around bite (1.44 of 5)

  • The 5ghz is very short, it's good for about 20-30 feet, after that it slows down quite a bit
  • The only thing that was a bit difficult was finding were I could set my own password and ssid as the website was erroring out
  • Reading some of the older reviews of the AC1750 caused me to be a bit uncertain about upgrading from the WNDR3400 N600
  • Just had to clean the outside a bit.

  • , I think it's best to stick with a new one because it seems like where people have problems is when they get a router that isn't new.
