Reviews around look (4.53 of 5)

  • The look is very modern – it blends in with the bookshelf and you can never tell it is a router
  • - Took like few minutes to set it up, Looks awesome - this is a beautiful looking router,
  • No it hangs when it is looking for updates once for an hour the other times it said it could not find the Core or that internet service was lost
  • It is also nice how modern looking the product is, looks like a piece of art as opposed to an eye sore.
  • It's a very attractive looking product; but, as the saying goes, "Looks aren't everything

Reviews around tech support (4.21 of 5)

  • The one reason I have stayed away from Norton products since the 80`s still hampers them now
  • This time I found another number for tech support and was told to return to place of purchase.
  • I really liked it and the tech support was terrific which is why I gave it the ratings I did.
  • I called tech-support who walked me through the exact same steps as the online knowledge bank
  • After 2hrs, 45mins on the phone with Norton's tech support, they couldn't figure out why it wouldn't connect to the internet.

Reviews around fact (4.09 of 5)

  • Rebooting solves the issue, but pretty annoying as never once had such an issue with my old Asus.
  • The fact that I can also connect multiple devices without losing performance is great as well
  • I like the fact that this is coming from a security company and has even more layers of security to protect us from malware, etc.
  • I like the fact that it provides alerts for any changes in my
  • I also LOVE the fact that I can control how much access my kids have to the devices including what time, which websites, and how much bandwidth.

Reviews around app (4.03 of 5)

  • It lacks features and flexibility and the Android app does not work well at all.
  • I love the app and how all of my devices are connected to the router
  • The app is great, and this product is very easy to set up.
  • The lacking documentation and app never mention static ips which our webcams and printers have.
  • The app works great too - appreciate how easy it is to navigate and Norton customer service was great with setup.

Reviews around speed (4.00 of 5)

  • So, if you want to sacrifice significant speed for security or don’t have the need for speeds beyond 70mbps, Core might work for you
  • We have set up a bunch of devices to the router, and they are all working on the fastest speeds that I have ever seen
  • I can finally hang out in these rooms and use wifi at great speeds
  • We live out in the country and only have so much "high speed" (not even that high speed) internet per month before it slows to a crawl.
  • Speed and throughput are pathetic, I could not even watch movies on my video streaming account because the speed kept dropping down to around 3-10Mb/sec as opposed to the steady 70Mb/sec from older Linksys router

Reviews around range (3.98 of 5)

  • Rebooting solves the issue, but pretty annoying as never once had such an issue with my old Asus.
  • Super easy setup and the range is fantastic around the house
  • All in all very pleased with the much improved speed and range.
  • That is not to say it does not exist but living in apartment in Brooklyn NY, range of the device is not an issue
  • but once it was installed, man, more than enough range for the whole place!

Reviews around device (3.93 of 5)

  • I like that it includes a 1-year Norton Security subscription for unlimited devices
  • I have a windows phone and all my devices are windows needless to say I wasn't to happy about that
  • My home network has a lot of devices, from security cameras to smart devices and my 8 bay Synology NAS box, a cloud device, many PC's and a media center computer tied into my TV.
  • I have quite a few smart devices ( Amazon Echo dot etc... ) which in itself may not have the best security in place
  • We have Ring products, a smart thermostat and Nucleus devices, which are intercoms

Reviews around core (3.86 of 5)

  • I rely on Norton and the Core simply reinforces my trust
  • Sure I can cancel, but that turns the pricey Core into just another router, and I can pick up a decent router for 1/5 what the Core costs.
  • Now as an early adopter the issue I ran into was the core not being attached to my account properly
  • Overall if you are concerned with security and want something easy to set up that just works I would definitely recommend the Core.
  • The slight additional delay when opening a browser or visiting an unfamiliar site would be worth the delays, IF the Core were not so generally unstable as described above

Reviews around security (3.75 of 5)

  • This WiFi Router works in conjunction with your modem and makes security very easy to accomplish
  • This device does it all and makes security very easy to accomplish
  • This device has really amazing security features and looks good in my apartment
  • I have been a Norton 360 Premier user, because I like its security, not because I like the speed.
  • It's nice to be able to monitor the network from my phone including how many devices are on the network, the security score, any potential threats and what the speed is at any given time.

Reviews around design (3.75 of 5)

  • The design is very stylish and allows me to place the router in a central location anywhere in my home
  • From 940Mbps to 32Mbps is a poorly designed device and it is defective straight out of the box.
  • The one reason I have stayed away from Norton products since the 80`s still hampers them now
  • Neat design aesthetic for a router, and I like the app that allows one to easily manage it.

Reviews around performance (3.70 of 5)

  • Yes, you will get slower performance on HTTP (unsecure) traffic to approximately 70 megabytes per second to handle deep packet inspection
  • Finally, I could instantly tell the performance was better than my previous router
  • I was actually super impressed by how much better the performance was than I expected
  • It's really nice, super easy to setup, and I get better performance than my Apple Extreme, with the added security!
  • Rebooting solves the issue, but pretty annoying as never once had such an issue with my old Asus.

  • Then you can set daily time limits, with different settings for weekdays and weekends.
  • n’t like.
  • The Parental Controls are also nice if you want to set time limits for your children.

  • For example, if I set a time limit for a device, it has never worked

Reviews around address (1.78 of 5)

  • Now with a firmware update, Static IP addresses was available
  • I have once again installed the previous router and everything works as it should
  • The Core deals with that through a facility known as "Reserved Addresses," which (in theory) allows you to designate a static address for each device based on its MAC address
  • No Big deal, but at the time, there was NO way to set up a static IP address for devices aside from setting up a port forwarding rule, which kind of breaks the idea of a router if I have to open ports to get a static IP,
  • that is, when the device reconnected, it still had a dynamic address

Reviews around drop (1.69 of 5)

  • Otherwise the noticeable drop in download speed is a big negative
  • Bottom line: still evaluating but the drop in download speed is a BIG ISSUE
  • My internet connection drops, the light ring on the router turns orange, and a power-off reboot of the router is required several times a week... never an issue with my old router
  • As much as I love all the added security, frequent drops is the ultimate sin for a router

Reviews around site (1.46 of 5)

  • It seems to slow down sites considerably, perhaps scanning content as it is streaming
  • I had a few CORE alerts that my computer had attempted to contact suspicious sites and these were blocked.
  • Well, started with a site here and there, would refuse to load, sites that I use on a daily basis, now if the Core decided to block a site would be a prompt on the screen informing you that the site was blocked, with an option to override
  • The site was working great on my computer for about an hour
  • Since using, I've loved the abilities to see all of the devices on my network, block malicious sites, create guest networks and use a very streamlined and polished app to manage everything

Reviews around ip (1.18 of 5)

  • Now with a firmware update, Static IP addresses was available
  • This happens even when I assign a static reserved IP for a specific device
  • They did all connect with the Core, but then I couldn't get the static IP part to work, so I backed everything out again and gave up
  • In our case, we have cameras (for security, as well as for keeping an eye on the dogs when we are away), as well as a camera server, all of which require static IP addresses

Reviews around block (1.00 of 5)

  • The app also shows you when the device's firmware has been updated and what threats have been blocked
  • The internet pauses like a magic!So far, 40 threats have been blocked and we can see which sites are blocked by tapping the “bell” icon in the app
  • my speed, how many threats have been blocked; I can easily create a guest network for when friends come over (it’s already come in handy!)
  • Have had issues with some websites getting blocked, but feel much better with the added security protection
  • Two threats from bad websites have been blocked to date
