NETGEAR R9000-100EUS Tri-Band AD7200 Smart Wi-Fi Router

The speeds of the Wi-Fi are very good.
Speed tests show good performance, and connections are stable.
Easy to setup, easy to configure, great range, easy to setup guest lan, lovely looking.
Both the 2.4GHz and the 5GHz signal reached every corner of my house, giving exceptional coverage.
The problem with the 5GHz was that randomly throughout the day the 5GHz would drop out, stopping music playing, and streaming video to stop.

Linksys EA9500 Tri-Band Wi-Fi Router

It has good range and is reasonably easy to configure.
Easy install, good coverage and is really fast and reliable for both 2,4GHz and 5GHZ bands.
Very easy install and it works everywhere perfect, best Wi-Fi router ever.
Great signal around the house, so easy to setup and great value for money. Great speed of Wi-Fi.
It’s a great product I haven't had any issues.

What customers say about "Network"

NETGEAR R9000-100EUS Tri-Band AD7200 Smart Wi-Fi Router

The four Wi-Fi antennas are easy to install and make this router look like a space invader.
This router has 7 Gigabit Ports on the back which is plenty of ports unless you run a small data centre at home.
Plug the router in with the ethernet cable and it's as simple as that.
Since installed it has worked flawlessly maintaining fast reliable connections on Ethernet and wifi with no buffering.
It's a fantastic router. The signal is great with 4 antennas.

Linksys EA9500 Tri-Band Wi-Fi Router

Wired is perfectly fine. Wireless is strong through walls.
Good stable router with good Wi-Fi range.
Easy to set up. Software on phone is excellent.
Really good router, good signal strength, nice design and I really like that there is only one light on the front, looks premium.
It has poor WIFi signal strength , does not connect easily to Bose speakers and is a disaster with an Xbox one.

What customers say about "Security"

NETGEAR R9000-100EUS Tri-Band AD7200 Smart Wi-Fi Router

Brilliant admin portal and easy to setup and change settings. Lots of great security settings to choose from.
Perfect product worth the money and would recommend for anyone wanting a more secure WAP.
The security options are easily configurable, with separate settings for 2.4Hz and 5GHz, and for main and guest networks on each.
Firewall and Security options I found to be effective.
Weaker signal. Additional router security functions do not work.

Linksys EA9500 Tri-Band Wi-Fi Router

Nice router, good security features.
This is a great, configurable router with some nice security features.
The setup was actually very quick for me, about 5 minutes and using the one-click secure connection for printers and others devices work flawlessly.
Wi-Fi connections are easy to establish while at the same time it provides strong security.
Its menu is extremely basic - no sign of any decent security options at all.
