    • Works great, good speeds and covers plenty of distance.
    • Speed is exceptional.
    • It's supposed to test your WAN speed to the OnHub, and then your local wifi link speed, but the WAN speed consistently under-reported achievable speeds compared to SpeedTest or my fiber ISP's native local-link test facility.

    • The UI speed was good out of the box, but once I customized the settings, it became unbearably slow.5
    • The speed was slowed
    • Coverage is great and excellent upload and download speeds.
    • If a router is not effective at distributing the Internet connection among your devices, which I usually have more than 9 devices connected at the same time, no matter how good Internet connection you have is, you will suffer from bad connection speeds
    • 4-Stream technology is designed to boost speeds up to 25% – note that NitroQAM is a proprietary technology and may well only benefit wireless clients with supporting Broadcom chipsets
    • I live in a 2 story 2700 sq foot house and the dead spots and low speed in parts of my house were killing me
    • Possibly my favorite part of this router is the fact that it will automatically shift devices between a standard 2.4Ghz network and a 5Ghz network to maintain a stable and usable speed for everyone
    • I added photos of before and after test speed(slower one is before) and ill update once i get more time on the router
    • And my network covers every inch of my house with an amazingly fast wireless speed

    • I get amazing WiFi speeds, several times that of my ATT provided router.
    • Its severely limited control options - even moreso than Airport Extremes - curtails one's ability to use it with other APs, and it's not strong enough to serve my house on its own with a good high speed signal throughout.
    • So far, no one has experienced slow speeds or drops in connection
    • I believe why this happen was because of the router, which determined the best speed for the device using smart connect
    • Great router but speeds from the LAN port are awful
    • I love the speed, control and security this router provides!
    • Compared to my previous very well rated TP Link router that I purchased 3 years ago, this router has much much stronger signal and therefore much faster speeds when further away from the router
    • Never needs to be reset, great speed for all my devices
    • Fast speeds wirelessly thanks to a 1G connection and the built in Tether app was a breeze to use.
    • I use Charter as my ISP and have zero issues getting top speeds no matter where I am in my house

    • so I only need one port love the app and love the speeds I am seeing on WiFi
    • Incredible speeds and coverage throughout my house!
    • I gave the unit to my friend who doesn't have MAC equipment and he is seeing decent speeds
    • But Arstechnica is seeing the same problem where the OnHub is 5 times slower.http://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Wi-Fi-transfer-time.001.jpgSo it seems that the OnHub is accidentally pushing people to the 2.4 GHz band on the common SSID or it has some kind of bug that limits its speed
    • My OOKLA test shows this exceeding the top speed of the modem 686mbps - my Time Warner account is for 60mb download and 6 mb upload
    • good speed
    • The speed and range of this is great
    • Excellent range and speed
    • and I still get great speed up on the second floor bedroom.
    • Having a router that has the ability for a guest network in addition to the fast speeds is exactly what we needed for our home network.
    • I am getting a bit faster speeds and the range did increase by at least 150 feet
    • Speed is FAST
    • and my speeds wouldn't break 110Mbps on the stock router, but with this google router I get a consistent 150-160Mbps
    • After some walls, some distance, adapter bottenecks and a bit of network congestion, I was left with the reality that there's far more to the equation of good wifi speeds than I ever realized
    • Very High End Wireless Router; speeds are faster than being hard wired!!

    • iPad seems to have faster speeds at same distance
    • Amazing speed through WiFi
    • I wanted to upgrade for faster speed and coverage in my home.
    • For example, if you're on one of the 5GHz bands, and go out of range, the device was not automatically switched to the 2.4GHz band which has a slower speed, but longer range
    • Maybe it's congested on the google side, but its speeds were inconsistent and this part of their test does not depend on anything wireless
    • Elegant and great speed
    • OnHub connected with no issues and is providing way better WiFi coverage (both speed and distance).
    • and I haven't needed to reset it and the speeds are very fast
    • The range is great, the speed is great, heck it automatically updates when there's a security patch out
    • I live in NYC, and I was annoyed at TWC (now Spectrum), and I had my speed tested, and the guy who did my testing blamed my speeds on the old router I was using (it was literally 10 years old, but it never dropped a signal).
    • I recommend anyone using this router with a modem to figure out a way to enable Bridge mode, DMZ+, or IP Passthrough to enjoy unrestricted speeds to the maximum provided by your ISP.I have AT&T gigabit NVG 599 modem/router and I enabled IP passthrough mode and turned off WiFi radios by following a easy procedure
    • My Asus would still do about 24MB/s, but the internet would practically die when the transfers were going on.3
    • It has an old tech look about it and is pretty big compared to the aforementioned cheaper router`s, but if you have burn money, then I would recommend this router.
    • I still remember a D-Link unit I had about 10 years ago that would overheat in the summer months and reboot over and over
