Decent Router. Should get NEW
Pros: - Fast wired gigabit connection - 2 x USB2 avg speed 9 MBps and up to 18 MBps - Parental control & nice Web Interface - Fast restart
Cons: - Wireless coverage range is average, inconsistent and not as good as others stated. Not much better than my old Netgear WNDR-3700. - 2 weeks ago, I updated my router to the new firmware 3.0.0.4.374_4561. Then, It happened twice no Wifi signal. The restart solved the problem .
Overall Review: I am not sure if the new router RT-N66R will work better than the refurbished one. But for sure, it will give me the peace of mind. I would like to return my router and to get a replacement but it was just over 90 days policy... So, next time, I rather pay a bit more to get a new one.
Death after 17 months of service
Pros: Ran fine. Not too quick not too slow as its name Backup plus. Now it became backup minus
Cons: Everything ran fine until it died as of yesterday 05/29/2014. I carried & buried with it my drama Korean, Vietnamese, Chinese collection as well as a bunch of photos plus videos of my last vacation ... :-(
Overall Review: Bad experience as my first external HD died. Should back up whatever valuable.
