AMAZING
I am really bad with wireless networks yet I set it up and connected all devices within 5 mins.
Coming from a HomeHub3 (BT) generally speaking there is one more bar of signal strength, I was expecting 4-5 bars everywhere but that's until you stress the connection.
Then that signal boost wizardry kicks in when you run speed test or do a download, you get another bar of signal and amazing speed anywhere in the house now
Like in my room (hey, why I got the router!) before I got 10Mb/s, now getting 20-22Mb/s.
seems BT are slacking at the Infinity 2 end, when we first got it could get up to 55Mb/s, now max is 30Mb/s at my PC (the fastest wireless connection in the house for some reason, using a free D-Link USB wi-fi adapter!)
Tablets and laptops get anywhere between 15Mb/s (old inspiron) to 20-22Mb/s (asus infinity tablet). This is in the kitchen i.e. 'signal bunker' which is an extension and has a big fridge and freezer that the signal must contend with.
Uploads are blazing fast too.
Was anxious I'd spent a hundred quid on a router that wouldn't give me more strength.
It does and it looks freaking amazing too. Allows you to get the best from the services you pay for.
Gonna look into connecting a drive to it for some NAS streaming to PS3
Btw the HH3 wasn't shocking like previous iterations, I quite liked the guy, but its quaking in the shadows of the new three-antennae behemoth sat next to him who speaks in a low rumbling voice 'i'm batman'
edit: don't know how you measure decibels of signal, so sorry to use 'bars' as the measure
