Going on 6 months and never had to reboot from a failure. My 13 son games all the time on 5g frequency with no issues. Running 7 voip phones, 6 being at&t wireless. 23 devices on my network. Not sure how you'd have a problem with this unless your technically incompetent.

I am on Virgin media 200 meg service , I use to get an average of 206 meg now I get around 226 .. But it`s the interface I like , and the speed of access , uploading files to the usb.3 interface .. I also can share files on the cloud easily with no fuss ..

I installed it the evening I got it, it worked perfectly. Next morning it kept flicking on and off and was totally useless. Doesn't help that they don't even provide you with a diagram for the various lights, let alone a something to enable trouble shooting. Perhaps that would be too many pages!

I don't know whether it's a permanent reduction, or just due to the holiday shopping season. But if you jumped on the R8500 when it first hit the shelves, you paid $100 more than you can get it for as I write this.
