I bought this router to replace my Sitecom 54G type WL-160, because I had poor or no coverage in some places in the house and the synchronization with the smartphones often fell off. This could only be solved by rebooting the router. In the meantime, all mobile equipment was equipped with a WiFi N interface, so this determined the moment of switching. Router installation using the mini-cd went off without a hitch. The speed indicated on the mobile equipment was disappointing to me. 65mbps. I have a 60mbs cable subscription and via the 100mbs LAN this was achieved without any problems. All this measured with the speed test of the internet provider. On the mobile device I only got 30mbs via the same test. After some study on the internet I discovered that almost all smartphones and tablets are only suitable for a so-called. single stream connection with 20MHz bandwidth, limiting link transmission to 65mbs. About 50% of this is still consumed by encryption, error correction and synchronization, leaving about a maximum of 30 mbs for data. The speed limits are therefore on the receiver side and not on the capabilities of the router. Coverage: I have good to excellent coverage throughout the house, resulting in the following figures:
Ground floor 30mbs everywhere,
First floor 30 mbps (concrete floor) and 15 bmps (oblique through concrete floor and plaster wall in metal framework, distance to router 15m),
Attic(two concrete floors) 20-25 mbps.
These are not link speeds but data speeds, measured with my tablet and the provider's 60mbs speed test. These are all speeds at which you can comfortably use the internet. My old router had hardly or no coverage in some places and gave much lower link speeds
Stability: No bad experiences so far, the smartphones always sync with the network so far.

Great router, easy to set up. Lots of options for security and settings. After my old netgear a real blessing, no more falling out and stable connection. Service from Cool Blue is, as usual, more than super. Once Cool Blue, always Cool Blue.

I ordered the router to set up a WiFi connection with my parents for the new tablet. It is a nice complete device, which was connected in no time and had found the connection to the modem. The installation of the router was done in no time, despite the lack of a CD-ROM player. The tablet immediately found the network and the settings were easily adjusted. Then I searched the network with the phone and found it without any problems. The reception is fast and good and I have not yet tested the maximum distance, but indoors the range is good everywhere. (Up to and including attic 3-high, 1x concrete floor, 1x wooden floor)
