Keep the data flowing with a super-fast router, too.

Simple. Easy to use. Fast. Effective. This product does not come with a coaxial cable, so if you're not on DSL, you'll need one. Otherwise, this was super easy to set up and works like a charm. I have fast internet and great coverage with this and my chosen router.
