Private Internet Access Router Setting

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Setting up the router was so easy and the speed of the internet has been such a relief. Being in a new apartment with no wifi and then having this is a world of a difference, and I haven't had any issues with connection, reach, or speed since setting it up. I'm glad to have the security and legacy of netgear behind my system set up!

I needed internet access in an old building next to my house. It is too far away from my house to be supported by my wireless router. However, it does share electrical wiring with my house. Running new Cat5 cables was not a good solutions for a variety of reasons so I decided to try TP-Link's AV100 Gigabit Powerline Starter kit. The setup was very easy, basically plug and play. The price was very affordable. While not as fast as a direct connection, it still meets my needs.

If you’re like me and live off grid and cellular is your only means to access the internet this device is amazing. It works just like my old router when I lived in the city and had internet.

Great to have this Netgear CM700 modem to access internet by plug into Laptop directly. then need a router to get WiFi working.

I purchased this router along with a UAP-AC-LR access point. They work great together and the configuration allows me to power both units with a single power brick. At some point I may get a second access point, and this configuration allows for some expansion. In terms of setup, there are a wizards which will allow you to get up and running quickly. I personally did not find find this router's GUI any more confusing than others that I have used. Setting up any wireless network takes some fiddling, so if you are having trouble figuring things out yourself, ask your tech savvy friend for help! One thing I will say is that this router does allow for one to shoot themselves in the foot due to its vast configuration options. My router is connected directly to a CenturyLink fiber box for internet. This requires somewhat of a custom setup as it uses PPPoE and a special VLAN setting. Well, it turns out that after setting all of that up, I had somehow disabled the firewall and did not realize it until I saw a couple of failed login attempts in the security log. Long story short is to double check your settings before heading out to lunch :) Oh, and stability is amazing :) I am currently showing 2 weeks and 6 days of up time and still trucking along strong. Overall, it seems that building a home network using a separate router and access points is the way to go. I am very happy that I decided to move away from the all-in-one model.

I was able to access the internet immediately with this Netgear product.

Allows me to take advantage of fast internet access.

This is a really powerful networking device. It has great tools for setting up privacy settings and private networks.

This Nighthawk Modem Router is perfect for my internet needs!

It's a modem. You plug it into the wall and then into a router and you get internet.
