As I "upgraded" my internet provider services, I noticed I wasn't getting the wifi or Ethernet speeds I was paying for and also had problems streaming movies wireless in HD (they would always revert to SD saying I didn't have the broadband capability); if I went wired, they would stream fine. After speaking with my internet provider and Zyxel customer service, I determined it was my router; it didn't have the capability of supporting the speeds I was receiving so it was time to upgrade and this was the router I chose. Note: Even after replacing my old Zyxel router, I still wasn't getting the wifi speeds I should have on my Dell XPS 17 L702 laptop. I found out, it was my laptop, not the router; my wifi adaptor didn't support the hi-speed I was receiving from my internet services. (I've since upgraded my laptop to; now I have an Alienware 17 R3 and I'm getting the speed now).
I've had this router since May 2015 and have no complaints whatsoever. I wifi stream on my 50" Panasonic plasma and 32" Samsung Smart TV, along with my 2 laptops along with a desktop with no issues. The setup was easy (and I'm no expert); had it up and running within 15 minutes. So if you're looking for a good wifi router that's powerful, easy to setup, will give you excellent service, and has a reasonable price, I highly recommend this one.
PROS:-
1.EXCELLENT WIFI COVERAGE.
2.LIGHT WEIGHT.
3.BUILD QUALITY.
4.RUNS OPEN-WRT OUT OF THE BOX.
5.LED & WIFI CAN BE OFF WITH A BUTTON WHEN NOT REQUIRED.

8.IT IS COMPATIBLE WITH GOOGLE CHROMECAST.
9.I HAVE PERSONALLY TESTED 13 DEVICES AT SAME TIME
10.WORKS GREAT WITH PSN(PS3).
11.SUPPORT UPTO 2TB HDD TESTED MYSELF YOU CAN VIEW THE MULTIMEDIA FORM USB WITH VLC-APP IN YOU IOS,ANDROID AND PC WITH NO LAGS.
12.WORKS GREAT WITH NETWORKING PRINTER LIKE SAMSUNG M2826ND LASER PRINTER.
CONS:-
1.NO EXTERNAL ANTENNA PRESENT.
2.NO USB 3.0 PORT.
4 .VERY HIGH PRICE COMPARED TO TP-LINK,D-LINK,LINKSYS...ETC.
5.AS THE STOCK FIRMWARE IS BASED ON LUCI OPEN-WRT IT IS VERY HARD TO SETUP BUT WAS A BREEZE FOR ME AS I WORK IT IT(EASY-MODE IS AVAILABLE BUT NOT GOOD)
6.NO THIRD-PARTY FIRMWARE AVAILABLE EXCEPT OPEN-WRT.
NOTE:-IF YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT CONS AND LOVE THE PROS ABOUT THIS ROUTER THEN THIS ROUTER IS FOR YOU.
Q-DO I RECOMMEND THIS ROUTER TO EVERYONE ? A-ABSOLUTELY YES.
I pretty much never restart this thing. That's good. User interface for configuration page could be a lot better.
Compare it with originally non-router-companies like WD or the ASUS RT-N16: they are much, much more up-to-date, are rocked solid and have great configuration possibilities.
We have sent back the device.
