What customers say about "Network"
ASUS RT-AC3200 Tri-Band Gigabit Wireless Router
- Signal improved all over the house and it now covers every room!
- Great coverage, easy configuration and very stable!
- The router works very well, with a very good range.
- Wifi - Range is poor! I get full signal to the neighbours free BT homehub... and weak signal to this! Shocking!!
- Wifi range isn't much better than Virgin super hub 2.
NETGEAR (R8000-100UKS) Smart Wi-Fi Router
- The antennas are easy to open up and it's straight forward plugging it in.
- This is a superb router. Multiple fast wireless channels and six antennae to reach all corners of a very large house.
- The unit itself is sleek and looks quite modern with easy to see indicator lights, it also comes with 6 fold out antennas to help maximise range. Good design and decent range!
- The range is surprisingly much lower than I expected.
- Unbelievably the BT hub provided a stronger signal than the nighthawk even though it’s got 6 antennas sticking out of it.

What customers say about "Security"
ASUS RT-AC3200 Tri-Band Gigabit Wireless Router
- Having devices running through the WAN or the tunnel of the VPN connection, wit ha kill switch, is very easy. As is port forwarding.
- I use the merlin firmware build which is very stable and secure.
- Very easy to set up and there is a lot of other settings within the hub that you can set up, such as add a VPN client, security controls and parental controls.
- The VPN feature works a treat and i can usually max out remote connections into it.
- Really impressed with this router. Purchased it so that I could set up a VPN. Followed the instructions given on my VPN's website and it worked well.
NETGEAR (R8000-100UKS) Smart Wi-Fi Router
- The VPN service is pretty wonderful, not too tricky to set up and gives a bit of piece of mind when using public hotspots out and about.
- The VPN function is really useful and it is quite pricey but so far, so good.
- Amazing router with with useful features, the VPN works great, and I would recommend this router highly.
- A bunch of security features such as VPN support, being able to separate secure and guest network access, SPI & NAT firewall protection and preventing Denial-of-Service (DOS) attacks. Decent router!
- Minus for me is the VPN capabillities. It only support up to 4-5 connections and the auto config file export does not work for me.
