metal housing and great throughput. what more can i ask for?
I am always a fan of Netgear products and it is time for me to upgrade my network equipment. I was extremely impressed by the superb technical support service provided by YY via Messenger. YY was knowledgeable and helpful in providing the best solutions for my household needs. He was patient and friendly, and I have learned a great deal in how to improve my present network performance with the most suitable Netgear equipment.
Works right out of the box, nice.
Great price on discount, works right out of the box. Would have been nice to have a slightly longer power cable but it's ok. Working well for about 2 weeks so far, no problems.
Connected to a laptop and printer, no setup required and worked as intended so far, a couple of weeks, without any issues.
