Reviews around setup (4.62 of 5)

  • The one reason I have stayed away from Norton products since the 80`s still hampers them now
  • Getting the product out of the box was a pleasure and setup was very easy
  • Initial setup was not hard, but I had to do a fair amount of fiddling to grant network access to gaming devices (Nintendo and Xbox).
  • Super easy setup and the range is fantastic around the house
  • The app is friendly, the setup was easy and the Wi-Fi coverage is strong and uniform throughout my 3500 square feet home.

Reviews around look (4.53 of 5)

  • It's not as shiny as the product page picture, but I prefer the matte look..
  • It is also nice how modern looking the product is, looks like a piece of art as opposed to an eye sore.
  • 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,
  • It's a very attractive looking product; but, as the saying goes, "Looks aren't everything

Reviews around tech support (4.21 of 5)

  • VET YOUR NETWORK PASSWORD WITH NORTON / SYMANTEC TECH SUPPORT BEFORE
  • I am now more than 22 hours on the phone with tech support, and still don't have all my connections working correctly
  • I had to spend almost 3 hours on the phone with tech support, just set it up because there was so few options
  • Norton tech support was never able to get it working reliably.

Reviews around fact (4.09 of 5)

  • While I like the smartphone interface, I don't like the fact that I can't "get under the hood" like with many WI-Fi routers.
  • Rebooting solves the issue, but pretty annoying as never once had such an issue with my old Asus.
  • I love the fact that it doesn't look like a traditional router
  • 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.
  • The fact that I can also connect multiple devices without losing performance is great as well

Reviews around app (4.03 of 5)

  • so quick)- App is very responsive and easy to understand
  • 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.
  • Rebooting solves the issue, but pretty annoying as never once had such an issue with my old Asus.
  • The app also complains that I have double-NAT -- which I know and want for my configuration.

Reviews around speed (4.00 of 5)

  • 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.
  • I can finally hang out in these rooms and use wifi at great speeds
  • 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
  • No longer do I have to live with slow speed in the bedrooms (far away from the router location) with constant buffering.
  • This router performs at very good speeds, while also looking good in the living room

Reviews around range (3.98 of 5)

  • 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
  • My biggest concern was range, and it was shockingly good
  • but once it was installed, man, more than enough range for the whole place!
  • The range is terrible and it will not connect with wifi extenders consistently

Reviews around device (3.93 of 5)

  • 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.
  • If you're just a normal person looking for a way to secure your network, I'd say keep going since this is just a catastrophic device fail for Symantec...
  • I like that it includes a 1-year Norton Security subscription for unlimited devices
  • From 940Mbps to 32Mbps is a poorly designed device and it is defective straight out of the box.
  • I have a windows phone and all my devices are windows needless to say I wasn't to happy about that

Reviews around core (3.86 of 5)

  • 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
  • Overall if you are concerned with security and want something easy to set up that just works I would definitely recommend the Core.
  • I rely on Norton and the Core simply reinforces my trust
  • I like the Core and feel that overall network security is improved
  • Overall, really happy with our purchase so far and would highly recommend the Norton Core.

Reviews around security (3.75 of 5)

  • This WiFi Router works in conjunction with your modem and makes security very easy to accomplish
  • 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.
  • This device does it all and makes security very easy to accomplish
  • so I appreciate the added security that the Norton Core Secure router has provided

Reviews around design (3.75 of 5)

  • From 940Mbps to 32Mbps is a poorly designed device and it is defective straight out of the box.
  • The cable that comes with the router is a sleek, narrow design that does fit the tight clearances.
  • The design is fun, the set up was simple, and the app is an informative utility
  • Neat design aesthetic for a router, and I like the app that allows one to easily manage it.
  • The design is very stylish and allows me to place the router in a central location anywhere in my home

Reviews around performance (3.70 of 5)

  • which security setting I use, I even turned security completely off and it still drained my performance
  • It's really nice, super easy to setup, and I get better performance than my Apple Extreme, with the added security!
  • Performance is great, but the reason I went to this was because of network security and that the Norton brand is one of the best in network security.
  • I was actually super impressed by how much better the performance was than I expected
  • That is they slow the performance of your device VERY noticeably

Reviews around time limit (1.80 of 5)

  • Then you can set daily time limits, with different settings for weekdays and weekends.
  • n’t like.
  • n’t like.
  • For example, if I set a time limit for a device, it has never worked
  • The Parental Controls are also nice if you want to set time limits for your children.

Reviews around address (1.78 of 5)

  • Now with a firmware update, Static IP addresses was available
  • Once this router replaces your old one, you can no longer access the devices that are set to static addresses
  • 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,
  • If you are using static IP addresses, it seems likely that you will have major problems (if you don't know what a "static IP address" is, then this probably won't impact you)
  • that is, when the device reconnected, it still had a dynamic address

Reviews around drop (1.69 of 5)

  • This is totally unacceptable because when the connection is dropped (often in the middle of the night), my smart home - one of the main reasons for a secure router in the first place - also stops working (i.e., also in the middle of the night.)I’m going to give it a few weeks and see if the issue is resolved by further software updates
  • As much as I love all the added security, frequent drops is the ultimate sin for a router
  • As much as I love all the added security, frequent drops is the ultimate sin for a router
  • The big issue with Core is the drop in speed when you turn on the security feature in any mode
  • Otherwise the noticeable drop in download speed is a big negative

Reviews around site (1.46 of 5)

  • n’t like.
  • 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.
  • It seems that sites deemed suspicious and blocked on my computer were not being blocked on my iPhone.
  • 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

  • If you are using static IP addresses, it seems likely that you will have major problems (if you don't know what a "static IP address" is, then this probably won't impact you)
  • 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
  • IF YOU ARE GOING TO TRY USING THIS WITH EXISTING STATIC IP ADDRESSES
  • Now with a firmware update, Static IP addresses was available
  • 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)

  • Two threats from bad websites have been blocked to date
  • The app also shows you when the device's firmware has been updated and what threats have been blocked
  • Have had issues with some websites getting blocked, but feel much better with the added security protection
  • 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!)
  • 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
