What customers say about "Key Specs"

NETGEAR D6220-100UKS Dual Band Gigabit Modem Router

Excellent range and speed with great stability.
When connected to my router I am getting far better download speeds (69 Mbps vs 40 Mbps).
Setup was easy and the speed was excellent.
It has great speed locally and over the internet, whether that be via Ethernet or WiFi.
WiFi coverage seems to be good. The speed is excellent.

TP-LINK Archer C1200 Gigabit Wireless Wi-Fi Router

The router is at the center of the 3 floor and I have the 5ghz fast speed network.
We bought the cheapest version available. Great speed.
Where my speed was a mere 3.35 Mbps down and 9.68 Mbps up I now see speed of 928.28 down and 945.48 up.
Bad device. Required almost daily rebooting, terrible speeds, etc.
Not a great router. Short range, slow speed, buggy software, broke after 8 months.

What customers say about "Network"

NETGEAR D6220-100UKS Dual Band Gigabit Modem Router

The 5.0Ghz range is much better and the download speeds on both frequencies showed a worthwhile gain.
Highly recommended and much better WiFi range too.
Range is very good - probably 50% better than I had before.
The 5 GHz wireless signal range is poor.
Range of 5GHz (802.11ac) is not brilliant.

TP-LINK Archer C1200 Gigabit Wireless Wi-Fi Router

Solid router that just plain works. Range is amazing.
The range is good and provides good signal strength throughout our house.
The range is pretty good compared to what I had before.
The range on the 5GHz signal is fantastic, going out of my house and still having a strong connection 50 feet away from the house.
This is a very finicky router, range is so so - not great.

What customers say about "Security"

NETGEAR D6220-100UKS Dual Band Gigabit Modem Router

It's as secure as you want it to be.
The router has something called Dynamic QoS which is supposed to prioritise data traffic. Good secure.
There's a pretty nice dynamic QoS feature which can help prioritise bandwidth for things like streaming and gaming.
Built In QoS works very well, and makes our slow broadband speed bearable!
Fantastic - QoS is a godsend and brilliant range. Great secure.

TP-LINK Archer C1200 Gigabit Wireless Wi-Fi Router

Makes it easy to set security and control which devices have access to the network.
Very fair price, perfect for 99% of the population. Has all the security you need.
It is a good product. I like the security features on it.
Bought this to boost WiFi for security works great.
It works good for wireless access, but it is missing vital security features.
