Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The 6260 is a gigabit router with a 10/100/1000 internet port. Up to 1200 sq ft coverage for up to 20 devices. The 1600 puts out a stronger signal than the 1200. Mb from centurylink is the fastest internet available here.

Simple and intuitive admin interface. Easy to set up. Strong signal to zoom and wi-fi.

Cons

Comcast/xfinity gives bad dns servers in their dhcp offering (the servers redirect you to an xfinity page where you can't access your router config) once setup and online, the only way to access the control panel is with a email address and password (... Read More

To me, classing this router as ac1000 is false advertising hiding behind a non-useful technicality. Just avoid netgear, this design decision is *.

Quality

2nd one i've owned, (gave the first one to a friend), works great and the app works well with it.

Quality router, wasn’t difficult at all to set up

Somehow, with the help of a tech friend, we got it all going.

I bought one from linksys with the same configuration.

Price

It's small and compact and the price is very affordable and i was able to set it up on a computer, so you don't really 'need' the app.

Great price, easy install and even provided cables.

Shipping

You could buy better, but you can only go so fast as what you pay for.

Packaging/appearance

Works great right out of the box.

Competitiveness

Currently have an old verizon g1100 router that has solid range and has good speed (i get the full 500mbps 3 rooms away).
