Better Coverage & Faster Speeds

Although the price was higher than I wanted to spend, I bought this router because I had weak coverage with my old N+ router. That is no longer a problem and my desktop computer which is wired, is also getting better speeds.
Pros:
  • Better coverage
Cons:
  • Price

No problems

I just purchased this router, after reading the reviews for it as well as others. I'm pleased to say that I had no problems at all setting it up right out of the box. I simply plugged it in, connected it to my modem, and I was in to the router online setup immediately.
