Additional Comments:
The package states that ReadySHARE allows to use a printer connected to this router with USB. Unfortunately, not until you install this router and go through several frustrating attempts do you realize that only Apple brand devices (iPad, iPhone) are supported by this feature. A research showed that this has been an issue with many users since year 2016 and Netgear still hasn't done anything about it. Apparently the half of the world that uses Android devices are pretty much SOL with this router.
Another point is that Netgear decided to go hi-techy and to force everyone use their Nighthawk mobile app to setup the router. And that app is very limited to what it allows to modify and setup.
I haven't had a chance to test the strength of the signal because I got so frustrated setting up this silly thing (D-Link is so much more straight forward) and the misinformation on the USB printer usage (which is why I purchased this router in the first place).
