Avoid this Router unless you have time and money for RMAs
I purchased the router new, used it for a week and then it started rebooting and never reconnected. There are hundreds of other customers with the same reboot loop/Amber power light error according to Netgear Community Forum.
Pros:
- 6 LAN Ports
Cons:
- Hardware Failure

- range : previous at master room some phone cannot capture wifi..
- but it works no issue at all
Cons:
- very slow booting
- some limitation of 5GHz connection..(look like max limit
- and it has the function 2 wire NAS connection service
- but cannot find any benefit came from this except stability
