The Best Wi-Fi Router (for Most People)
If you have a laptop or smartphone that uses wireless-ac technology and you're ready to upgrade your router, you should get the Netgear R6250. The R6250 has the best combination of speed, price, stability, and features of any router in its price range. It can make your new device's Wi-Fi connection up to three times faster than a wireless-n router could. It's a smidge more expensive than the sweet spot for a router of its class (hovering around $130-$145 on Amazon), but we feel the benefits are worth the slightly higher cost.
The RT-AC56U will be about the same speed as the R6250 for the devices most people currently own. Asus' router is less expensive, but it has one fewer spatial stream on the 5 GHz band. That doesn't matter if you, like most people, have devices that top out at two spatial streams. (If you have a brand-new Macbook Pro, the Asus isn't the router for you.)
The RT-AC56U has a good user interface, though some parts are confusing. It has a few great features that the R6250 lacks, like an iTunes server, a built-in VPN, and a stronger initial emphasis on security.
That's why we aren't recommending these ultra-expensive routers for most people, even though they're technically the fastest routers you can get your hands on right now. You're more likely to be limited by the connective capabilities of your wireless-n and wireless-ac devices. If you buy a $200 router because you hear it's fast, you might be wasting your money for a lot of overhead that you won't be able to use.

Should I upgrade?
If you're happy with the speed and the range of your current router, you don't need to upgrade. But if you've read this far, you probably aren't.
First, it's important to remember that a new router won't make your Internet connection faster. The average broadband speed in the US is under 30 Mbps (Akamai says it's even lower, at 9.8 Mbps). Even a cheap, less-capable router should far exceed that—at least when you're close to the router. Unless you frequently move data or stream movies from one part of your home network to another, you will be fine with a less expensive router. Our updated guide to cheap routers is coming soon.
A quick way to test your Internet speed is to go to Speedtest.net and run the bandwidth test there. Try running it from a computer with an Ethernet connection to your router, and then from a computer or phone connected by Wi-Fi. If your Wi-Fi speeds are a lot slower than your Ethernet speeds, it may be time to upgrade. Alternately, the bottleneck could be in your devices. If your laptop or phone is more than a few years old, either could be the problem instead of the router.
If you have very fast Internet, like Verizon FiOS or Google Fiber, if you spend a lot of time moving data between computers on your home network, or you stream a lot of movies from a PC or NAS to your TV, it's could be worth spending the extra money to make sure your router isn't holding you back.
If your current router is broken and you need a new one right now, take stock of the tech you have now and think about when you plan to update. If you don't plan to upgrade your phone or laptop in the next year, consider a cheaper wireless-n router that meets the needs of your devices.
How we picked
A good wireless-ac router supports at least two-stream connectivity on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. Networking experts like Tim Higgins, as well as representatives from Asus and Lenovo, told us that most new wireless-ac laptops support two streams at most. Older phones, laptops, tablets, and consoles often have two-stream wireless-n. Newer smartphones have one-stream wireless-ac (the Galaxy S5 has two). Three-stream devices are rarer, and there's only one quadruple-stream adapter right now. A two-stream, dual-band router gives the best options for the greatest number of devices.
A router should be stable. You should be able to get a consistent connection without suffering from performance loss or signal drops. Support for Wi-Fi coexistence is also important as it allows the router's signal to play well with other Wi-Fi routers in the area. This is essential for anyone who doesn't live far, far out in the country.
The interface should be easy to use. It shouldn't be packed with complex options, and it certainly shouldn't force you to jump around too many sections and menus to get key features working. We also like routers that will check for firmware updates instead of forcing you to hunt them down.
Finally, it's good for a wireless-ac router to have USB 3.0 connectivity (for faster file transfers to and from attached storage), support for DLNA and iTunes streaming, and a way to easily access the contents of your USB-connected device from outside of your network. (Note: A USB 3.0 drive connected to your router is likely going to be slower than the same drive plugged into your computer.)
We began our hunt for the best Wi-Fi router by consulting wireless guru Tim Higgins. He runs SmallNetBuilder, a site that has been called the "gold standard" and "the goto site" for network product testing and analysis. He's a 24-year veteran of hardware engineering and testing. Tim says you should buy the cheapest wireless-ac router you can get your hands on, as long as your devices' spatial streams and router's compatibility match up. He suggests spending around $100.
We decided not to set a price limit just yet. A hard cap of $100 would rule out routers, like Netgear's R6250, which outperform many $100 routers by more than the difference of their costs. We don't mind spending a little more as long as the performance boost is worth the price.
We narrowed the field to 13 semifinalists by looking through SmallNetBuilder's reviews and selecting the top three devices in each router class between AC1200 and AC1900. You can read about Higgins' detailed testing process here and here; it's much more scientific than the standard, "transfer files" tests we're used to seeing.
We narrowed down the field by comparing the routers' prices and performance across six measurements by class.2 This left us with four finalists.
- AC1600 — Netgear's R6250 ($145)
- AC1200 — Asus's RT-AC56U ($112)
- AC1750 — Asus's RT-AC66U ($170)
- AC1750 — TP-Link's Archer C7 ($99, considered because it had the best price/performance ratio of all the semifinalists)
We called in these routers for hands-on testing because SmallNetBuilder's tests, though consistent, don't necessarily represent real-world conditions. We wanted to see how each router would deal with competing wireless signals, having to bounce connectivity around the corridors of a house, and sending a signal through walls. We put the finalists to use in a real environment to see if we would replicate the performance differences Higgins found in his synthetic testing.
How we tested
We set up one router testing spot and four client test stations3 around a 2,700-foot, one-story house, and we disabled the primary wireless router in our home to eliminate as much wireless interference as possible.4 We also manually set the routers to operate on channel 1 of the 2.4 GHz spectrum and forced channel bonding so they could achieve their maximum link rates of 300 Mbps.5 In the case of TP-Link's Archer C7, this was unnecessary, as the router doesn't obey coexistence rules—not ideal.
We tested the routers using Jperf.6 The client laptop was a MacBook Air using Asus' USB-AC56 two-stream wireless-ac adapter, and the server was a desktop PC connected to each router via Ethernet.7 We generated 32 different data points on our first run of the routers' tests, then recreated these 32 tests a second time to give us another data set for comparison.
We're not just interested in speed. We were more interested in seeing how the routers compared. Would one exhibit much stronger performance than another? Would routers with external antennas crush the internal-antenna competition? How would each router handle our different testing locations?
Our pick
TrustedReviews' Gordon Kelly described the R6250 as "one of the fastest routers we have tested" in his 4.5-star review. The R6250 beat its closest competition, the Asus RT-AC56U, on all of his wireless-ac benchmarks, and (by smaller margins) 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wireless-n performance.
The R6250 is the top-ranked AC1600 router SmallNetBuilder has tested. While the Asus RT-AC56U showed better wireless-n performance on Tim's benchmarks, we didn't see a significant performance gap in our tests. Each beat the other in about half of our wireless-n and wireless-ac tests. Same for the Asus RT-AC66U: Higgin's tests have it almost twice as fast as the R6250 in wireless-n performance and running about 20 MB/s faster for wireless-ac. That's a big difference, but as you can see in the graph below, it wasn't borne out in our testing. There was a slight improvement over the R6250 on the 2.4 GHz band in the farther locations, but wireless-ac performance was about the same across the board, so it's not worth the extra $65.
(We've switched to talking in MB/s, or megabytes per second, instead of Mbps [megabits per second] because file transfer speeds are more conventionally measured in MB/s. One MB equals eight Mb.)
The Archer C7, which also has external antennas, performed better than the R6250 at almost all test locations, but it is held back by its complex, unintuitive software.
Since we initially tweaked the routers to deliver maximum throughput on the 2.4 GHz spectrum, we re-ran the tests with default settings to see what a typical user might experience when having to deal with another nearby router.
On these, the R6250 beat the RT-AC56U at five out of eight test locations. The much more expensive RT-AC66U again performed well at range for wireless-n, but was as fast as (or slower than) the R6250 on wireless-ac. TP-Link's Archer C7 remained the standout device for performance by anywhere from 2 MB/s to 13 MB/s.
And don't forget: the R6250 supports one more spatial stream on the 5 GHz band than the RT-AC56U. These tests were done with a two-stream adapter, but if your laptop has a three-stream adapter, you'll see a definite performance boost with the R6250. The upgrade is well worth the price difference between the two.
The R6250's single USB 3.0 port hit the second-fastest throughput of our wireless-ac router finalists on SmallNetBuilder's read and write file transfer tests: 25.7 MB/s for an NTFS-based read and 17.6 MB/s for an NTFS-based write. That's roughly half the performance of the RT-AC56U on SmallNetBuilder's tests, but double that of our step-down pick, TP-Link's Archer C7.
In our testing, the R6250 produced the least variability8 between our original tests and its retests among our four router finalists, differing by anywhere from -5% to +3%. TP-Link's Archer C7 varied anywhere from -15% to +11% across its tests and Asus's two routers varied from -7% to +30%.
The R6250 splits its user interface into "basic" and "advanced" modes, which we preferred to the overwhelming text-based interface on TP-Link's Archer C7 or the pretty but unintuitive Asus RT-AC56U.
Standout features include the router's OpenDNS-based parental controls, which block categories of sites based on four severity levels, but also allow you to install an app on your computer to whitelist your way to unrestricted Web surfing. Other routers' parental controls aren't so great. The RT-AC56U can only block a device's Internet access entirely, and the Archer C7 only allows you to whitelist eight sites per "rule" that you create for a client. Yuck to both.
NetGear's ReadyShare service is a convenient way to access the contents of a USB-connected piece of storage from a PC or mobile device (via an iOS or Android app). The router also makes it easy to connect up to the drive through Windows' File Explorer. You can change the share name for your USB-connected storage, which you type into File Explorer to access the networked drive (\\sharename). TP-Link's Archer C7 forces you to memorize a default share name that you can't change, which is annoying.
It's easy to set up guest networks on the R6250. It's also easy to turn the router into an access point or a network extender—a feature the RT-AC56U also has but the Archer C7 does not. You can even schedule schedule on/off times for wireless networks, which might not be the most interesting feature for home users, but one that's handy for cafe owners who don't want to provide free Wi-Fi to people outside all night.
Finally, the R6250 can check for new firmware from within the web interface. The Archer C7 can't. We'd rather our router tell us that an update is available instead of having to consult the manufacturer's website on a semi-frequent basis.
The R6250's four LAN Ethernet ports and single WAN port are all Gigabit connections, which is standard. We appreciated the button on the router's side that allows you to turn the wireless radios on and off without having to shut down the router itself. The R6250 also supports the installation of third-party firmware (DD-WRT) for those who want a bit more customization, advanced features, and potentially speedier performance. The RT-AC56U and Archer C7 do that as well, but wireless-ac connectivity on version one of the Archer C7 doesn't work in OpenWRT.
Flaws but not dealbreakers
Like most routers, the Netgear R6250 isn't perfect. The router's 88 Amazon reviews (as of this article's writing) average out to 3.5 stars, with 64% assigning the router a four- or five-star rating. Those praising the R6250 commented that the device's "great range" and "unbelievable speed" are "amazing." Among those criticizing, five mentioned wireless-n instabilities (6%), five mentioned wireless-ac instabilities (6%), and ten (11%) panned the router's range. These feel like a normal amount of complaints for a router (not everyone will have an ideal experience with their device, depending on where they've placed it, the prevalence of competing wireless signals in the area, and so on).
For example, Netgear's percent of complaints are right around the same percent of Amazon reviewers who panned the overall range (6%) and speeds (4%) of Asus' RT-AC56U. What sets the latter apart, however, are the 13 (25%) who complained about issues with the RT-AC56U 2.4 GHz connectivity specifically. That was a bit eye-opening to us, especially when we also began to experience the very issues they were talking about (as did 41% of the router's 24 Newegg reviewers at the time we were researching these stats).
General router complaints? Typically fine. A good percentage of complaints panning a specific issue with the device across a large time range? Problematic, especially since we would assume that Asus's many firmware fixes would have patched up these issues for everyone at some point since the router's release.
It would be nice if Netgear was more proactive about security. The Asus RT-AC56U prompts you to change your administrator and Wi-Fi passwords on initial setup, while the R6250 never requires you to change from the default admin credentials and pre-generated Wi-Fi password. This means that, unless you make an active effort to change that information when you first install the router (which many average people do not do), your router could be vulnerable to even the simplest of "hacks" from neighbor kids or a malicious driver-by.
The router defaults to using 20 MHz channels for its two wireless-n spatial streams, giving you a maximum total throughput of 150 Mbps. You have to manually set the router to run at 40 MHz if possible—per coexistence rules—in order to achieve better wireless-n throughput, which you can adjust via a simple setting within the router's options. We would prefer the router default to full speeds and dial things back as needed.
Unlike some routers (like the Archer C7 and the RT-AC56U), you can't tell your 2.4 GHz network to run in wireless-n-only mode, which can prevent older wireless-g devices from slowing down the performance of a mixed-mode network in certain situations. You also don't get a chance to set a schedule for the router's two guest networks. They're either on or they're off. The RT-AC56U at least lets you schedule a countdown timer for how long you'd like your guest networks to remain online.
Read and write access to any USB-attached storage is all-or-nothing. You can't assign user accounts with differing amounts of access, so your files are either completely open to everyone on the network or restricted to the admin account. Better have a good Wi-Fi password!
We're also a bit bummed the R6250 can't act as an iTunes server. Neither can the Archer C7, but Asus routers include the capability.
Again, the R6250 isn't the fastest of the three-stream wireless-ac routers, nor is it the fastest for the lowest price (see TP-Link's Archer C7). It does have the best combination of ease-of-use, features, and performance for a great price.
The runner-up: Asus RT-AC56U
At the time of our research, the RT-AC56U had a four-star rating, with 64% of reviewers assigning it a four or five-star rating. That's better than our main pick. However, one-fourth of its 51 reviews complained about connection issues on the 2.4 GHz band. Every router gets some bad reviews, but to see so many reports of the same problem is a big red flag that something might actually be wrong.
Asus acknowledged via email that the RT-AC56U had had a 2.4 GHz problem but said that a firmware update last year fixed it. However, we encountered the same 2.4 GHz issues with our RT-AC56U, which had up-to-date firmware. At one point, our wireless-n connectivity ground to a near-standstill. The 5 GHz connection worked just fine, but the 2.4 GHz band, though connected, couldn't even access the router's Web interface in a timely manner. We power-cycled the router and even returned it to factory default settings with no success.The issue only fixed itself after we turned off the router off for a while and then turned it on again. Asus has offered to send us a replacement router, and we'll update this piece once we've had a chance for some longterm testing.
That 2.4 GHz issue isn't the only reason we opted for the Netgear R6250 for our main pick. Although the RT-AC56U beat the Netgear R6250 on SmallNetBuilder's wireless-n benchmarks, the R6250's extra spatial stream meant it was much faster than the RT-AC56U for wireless-ac performance with three-stream clients. TrustedReviews gave the R6250 the win on all of its benchmarks: two-stream wireless-n performance on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, and wireless-ac performance (again, thanks to that extra spatial stream). On our two-stream testing for wireless-n and wireless-ac, the routers performed pretty similarly.
We weren't so impressed with features that didn't quite work. The router's quality of service functionality (specifically, "automatic" mode) didn't do anything to prioritize our BitTorrent, HTTP downloads, or gaming traffic. The router's "Download Master" slowed the router to a crawl during a standard BitTorrent download to our USB-connected storage. We couldn't access Download Manager to stop said transfer, nor could we even pull up the router's main settings; we had to reset the router and physically disconnect the Internet connection in order to disable the offending service.
SmallNetBuilder's Scott Deleeuw found some of Asus's features more complex to set up than other cloud-based router services. While we enjoyed the look and feel of the RT-AC56U's interface, we found it a bit confusing to navigate. Asus's UI isn't always that clear: We had to go online and research what the router's semi-interrelated storage-based features actually did, as well as the router's ability to tap into an Android smartphone's Internet connectivity via USB tethering.
Finally, the router's AiCloud app would sometimes find the router and not identify it as an Asus device, which caused it to download our video files to our phone instead of streaming them. Argh.
The occasionally confusing UI and unpleasant Download Manager are two of our few sticking points with the RT-AC56U. We're still a little worried about the 2.4 GHz band issues even though Asus says they've fixed those issues. Absent the 2.4 GHz problem, the RT-AC56U is a good alternative if our main pick is out of stock. Just make sure you test the router's speed and stability, especially on the 2.4 GHz band, while you're still within your retailer's return period, just in case you get a lemon.
The fast, cheap, complicated option: TP-Link's Archer C7
More UI missteps: you don't share the folders on a connected USB drive via the router's "Storage Sharing" option, you do it via the less obvious "Media Server" section. Also, you can also only share eight volumes per drive—not a big deal if you want people to be able to access the whole drive, but limiting if you want to pick specific folders to share.
"C7's NAS and print services are sufficient but not quite as rich as what Netgear offers," writes PCMag.com's Samara Lynn in her 3-of-5-star review of the Archer C7.
The router's parental controls feel limited. You can only whitelist eight websites per "rule" (a system can have more than one rule applied to it). You can't deny access to sites by keyword or URL; you can only whitelist. You also can't set the times that you want to whitelist said sites within the parental control section itself. You have to jump out to a separate configuration screen, Access Control, to first set up your "schedules."
The Archer C7 can only limit total outgoing or incoming bandwidth — no quality of service settings. The Archer C7 also lacks an iTunes server. It doesn't obey 2.4 GHz coexistence rules, which is sure to thrill your neighbors, and it doesn't let you change the name it assigns to your USB storage — you have to type in an annoying TP-Link designation within File Explorer to access your drive.
If you're looking for something even cheaper, an update to our cheap router guide is in the works.
The step up: Netgear's R7000
The AC1900-class Netgear R7000 is our step-up pick because it's one of the fastest routers with the best features for most users. It's also less expensive than its direct competition, Asus' RT-AC68U.
SmallNetBuilder found that Netgear's router beat the performance of the Asus RT-AC68U, its direct competitor, on wireless-n and wireless-ac when tested with a three-stream client. When benchmarked with Asus' PCE-AC68 AC1900 adapter, SmallNetBuilder's tests indicated that the routers performed similarly on wireless-n, but the R7000 was four percent slower. We feel that's acceptable given the 9 percent price difference between the two routers as of this article's writing.
"Overall, despite higher specs, the R7000 (powered by a 1GHz processor) is slightly slower than its Asus counterpart (powered by a 800MHz processor), but only within the margin of error. The two routers are by far the fastest on the market," wrote CNET's Dong Ngo.
Ngo also highlighted the R7000's support for Time Machine backups, its ReadyShare Vault backup software, iTunes streaming support, and built-in OpenVPN server — all features you won't find in the R6250. TrustedReviews' Kelly also praised the router's DDNS support, which simplifies your ability to connect up to the router's built-in FTP and OpenVPN servers remotely.
PCWorld's Michael Brown commented that the R7000 and the RT-AC68U match up feature-for-feature, save for the R700's exemplary QoS and "better parental control features." Although he wrote that the RT-AC68U had more business-friendly features than the R7000, Netgear's speedier USB 3.0 connectivity makes it "the clear winner" if that matters to you.
Roughly the same percent of all Amazon and Newegg reviewers expressed satisfaction with the R7000 and RT-AC68U: 73% rated Netgear's router with a 4- or 5- star review, and 75% rated Asus's similarly. As for Newegg, 63% of reviewers in total rated both routers with 4 or 5-star reviews.
Care and maintenance / setup
Setting up a router is fairly easy. Make sure that you've changed the default password for your primary administrator account to something that can't easily be guessed by others on your network. Additionally, enable WPA2 security for your wireless networks and assign them lengthy passwords that aren't easily guessed. Leaving your wireless network unsecured opens you up to problems, from Wi-Fi leeching to spying to malware to unauthorized access to your home network. If you do want to give away Wi-Fi, open up a guest network.
The 2.4 GHz band is prone to interference from other wireless routers in your neighborhood. To help get the best speeds possible, use an app like Wi-Fi Analyzer (Android) or Wi-Fi Explorer (OS X) to see which channels are in use near you, and then set your 2.4 GHz band to use a channel with the least interference. (Scanning apps don't exist for iOS, as Apple restricts access to wireless APIs on its phones and tablets.)
The best bands to use for your wireless-n network are 1, 6, and 11, since those are the ones that don't overlap with each other. If you find a channel that doesn't overlap with any of your neighbors' signals, your 2.4 GHz speeds could double. The 5 GHz band has much more room, so you're less likely to run into trouble, but it's worth checking too, just in case.
Finally, be sure that you're purchasing a router from a retailer with a good return policy in case you get a router that isn't working as expected. As with most electronics, sometimes you get a lemon. Warranties are important too. Our finalist comes with a one-year hardware warranty, as does the R7000 and Archer C7, but other routers have better warranties. The Asus RT-AC56U, for example, has a two-year manufacturing warranty.
The competition
The last of the four routers we called in, Asus's RT-AC66U, didn't give us the all-around performance boost we were hoping to see when we compared it against the R6250, especially given its three external antennas and $200 price tag. While it did well at longer ranges on wireless-n compared to the R6250, its wireless-ac performance with our two-stream client didn't impress us at all. For most, this is just too expensive a router for its performance.
As for the nine routers that didn't make our list of finalists:
D-Link's $140 DIR-868L was bested by the price-to-performance ratio of the $100 TP-Link Archer C7 and the $170 Asus RT-AC66U.
The $145 Netgear R6250 either matched or beat the $116 Linksys EA6300 and $150 Linksys EA6400 for wireless-n performance and bested them all for wireless-ac performance.
Buffalo Technology's $99 WZR-1166DHP and Edimax's $70 BR-6478AC beat the RT-AC56U on price, but their performance differences weren't worth the trade-off. (Edimax's came close, but its measured wireless-ac throughput at a longer distance was less than half that of the RT-AC56U.)
D-Link's three-stream wireless-n and two-stream wireless-ac DGL-5500 (a $145 AC1300 device) held its own against AC1750 routers for wireless-n performance (and was smoked on range), but couldn't match up against AC1200 routers for wireless-ac performance and range.
We didn't select any of the three AC1900 routers for our "Best Wi-Fi Router" pick (Asus's $220 RT-AC68U, Linksys's $177 EA6900, or Netgear's $192 R7000) mostly because of the price, but also because only one adapter exists as of this article's writing that can tap into the routers' 600 Mbps wireless-n connectivity.
As an aside, we also didn't consider the R6250's bigger brother, the Netgear R6300, as it didn't even make SmallNetBuilder's top-three list of highest-performing AC1750 routers.
Why no Apple routers?
We didn't initially consider Apple's Airport Extreme for our article, as it didn't even make the top three on SmallNetBuilder's AC1750 router benchmarks. However, feedback from the Apple crowd has convinced us to give Apple's Airport Extreme the same shakedown that we gave our finalists.
The results? The router did well across all our benchmark tests, but its price-to-performance ratio didn't blow away our top pick, nor our step-down pick. Even though the Airport Extreme was easy to set up and comes with a few Apple-exclusive features, the router's high price, limited feature loadout compared to most other routers, and the fact that it doesn't play very nicely with Windows computers makes it a poor value for the majority of users (Apple-enthusiasts included).
If you already own a lot of Apple products, want a dead-simple setup process, and are willing to pay top dollar for fewer features and less flexibility, the Apple Extreme might be for you. Otherwise, we're just not that fired up about Apple's wireless-ac offering.
The Tests
We ran Apple's Airport Extreme, Netgear's R6250, and TP-Link's Archer C7 through a new batch of Jperf tests. Throughout its three 2.4Ghz test runs (across four different test locations), we found that the Archer C7 produced the most consistent results. The routers varied in their consistency for wireless-ac. The R6250 was able to deliver the most consistent results at two of our test locations (#1 and #3), the Airport Extreme had the most consistent results at test location #4, and the Archer C7 was most consistent at test location #2.
We realize that plenty of external factors can affect a router's throughput, so we don't want to make too strong a point surrounding "consistency." However, we think it's fair to note that Apple's Airport Extreme's ability to deliver consistent results didn't blow us away. It performed as adequately as our Best Wi-Fi Router pick (as far as our hands-on testing indicated).
We crunched the routers' throughputs two different ways: In the first method, we averaged together each router's throughputs on each test to give us eight total throughput measurements (one for each test location for 2.4Ghz, and the same for 5Ghz). In the second, we adopted a "best case scenario" approach and only considered the fastest throughput each router was able to deliver at each of the eight test locations.
As you can see on the charts, TP-Link's Archer C7 delivered commanding performance regardless of which method we used to analyze the results, besting the Airport Extreme and R6250 on seven of our eight tests. The Airport Extreme did best for 2.4Ghz at test location #3 (our distance test). As noted, that was also one of the two test scenarios where the Airport Extreme delivered the most consistent performance of the three tested routers.
Our Best Wi-Fi Router pick, the Netgear R6250, beat the Airport Extreme for 2.4GHz performance by smaller amounts, save for test location #3 (our distance test). It nearly matched the Airport Extreme for wireless-ac performance at test locations #1 and #2, delivered around 80% of the performance at test location #3, and spanked the Airport Extreme at test location #4.
SmallNetBuilder's benchmarks cover the routers' three-stream performance. On them, the Archer C7 hits an average of 209 Mbps for its wireless-ac throughput, the R6250 hits 176 Mbps, and the Airport Extreme falls short at 116 Mbps.
The Features
The Airport Extreme lacks much of what you'd otherwise be able to find in a $200 router (if not a $100 router). It's extremely easy to set up on an Apple laptop or mobile device, but Windows users have to download an uglier Apple Airport Utility just to get the router running (there's no Web-based UI to log into).
Apple's iteration of Airport Utility is well-designed and responsive. We were able to set up our Airport Extreme as a router, access point, or extender without any fuss whatsoever. We also loved the fact that Airport Utility prompted us that a new firmware update was available (and downloadable) as soon as the initial setup was complete.
A proprietary "Back to My Mac" option lets you access the contents of your other Apple computers remotely (including screen sharing), but it's a useless feature for Windows users. The Airport Extreme supports a single guest network on the 2.4Ghz band; nothing on the 5Ghz band. You can schedule when certain clients are allowed to connect up to your wireless network, but you have to know their MAC addresses up front.
(Hint: Holding alt and double-clicking on the Airport Extreme in Airport Utility pulls up a hidden Summary tab that shows all connected clients. Why Apple decided to bury this option, we'll never know.)
You can attach USB storage to the Airport Extreme's single USB 2.0 port (or a printer), but you'll be limited to the speeds of this slower connection type. The drive must also be formatted as HFS+, FAT16, or FAT32; if it's NTFS, you're out of luck. Windows users, who don't have native HFS+ support in the OS, will find the 2GB and 4GB file size limits of FAT16 and FAT32 quite annoying. Additionally, the Airport Extreme only comes with three gigabit Ethernet LAN ports and one WAN port; we'd expect at least four gigabit Ethernet LAN ports from a $200 router (or any router, for that matter).
As for features the Airport Extreme lacks… where to begin? There's no DLNA streaming for files on your connected USB storage. No parental controls. No way to get the router to run at 40 Mhz on 2.4Ghz (in other words, you'll have to switch to 5GHz to tap into the Airport Extreme's fastest wireless-n speeds). No WPS support. No way to limit guest networks by time. No QoS. No VPN functionality (connecting to one, or running as a VPN server). No UPnP. No access logs. No way to limit bandwidth universally (or limit bandwidth by client). No LEDs to show what Ethernet ports are connected, nor whether your Wi-Fi is transmitting data or not. And no "bonus" features like DDNS (for connecting to the router and/or your home network from afar), BitTorrent downloading, or even FTP connectivity.
Assessing Reliability
Many will point to the reliability of the Airport Extreme as the most important reason why one should purchase it, even above features and speeds. Unfortunately, there isn't a great way to test for reliability: Our exceptional (or poor) experience with a single router shouldn't commend or condemn the entire line, because routers — as we've learned — can be fussy. They break. They drop connections. They reset. In some cases, a person's poor experience might not even be his or her fault: Perhaps one's connection difficulties are more a result of the significant Wi-Fi interference around one's SSID-saturated apartment than anything else.
We attempt to assess reliability as best as possible by looking at user-generated reviews for products on a variety of retail websites. Over at Amazon, 89.6% of the 556 reviews we checked out at the time of this article's writing were 4- or 5-star (12.4% and 77.1%, respectively). That's a great "approval score" for a router, far higher than that of any of our finalists for this article.
Over at Apple's website, it's a bit different. Only 73.2% of the 257 reviews are 4 or 5 stars (8.2% and 65%, respectively), which is more in line with the Amazon review breakdown we saw for our Best Wi-Fi Router finalists. Don't get us wrong; it's still a great "approval score," it's just not as noteworthy as the Airport Extreme's scores on Amazon.
Even with this data, it's still difficult to assess a router's reliability. Those who gave a device shining scores might have run into trouble later and simply never updated their original reviews; those who faulted the Airport Extreme for connection issues, constantly having to reset the router, poor range, and slow speeds (to name a few of the criticisms) might have had their issues fixed with subsequent firmware updates. Or, as noted previously, some of the issues might not even be the router's fault.
User reviews provide a good temperature reading. We would be worried if a product was hated by 75% of the people that ordered it. We would also be worried if, in the case of Asus' RT-AC56U, a larger-than-expected number of reviewers were sharing specific concerns about a specific issue with the device (in this case, one we experienced as well).
The excellent Amazon reviews for Apple's Airport Extreme indicate that it's a well-performing device for those who buy it; The Apple reviews are less-glowing, but still indicative of a device that seems to perform fairly reliably for most of those who have purchased it. We can't say that the Airport Extreme is more reliable than our other featured routers.
The bottom line on Airport?
Pricing aside, Apple's Airport Extreme kind of makes sense for those who want a no-fuss way to add wireless connectivity to their existing Apple environments. The Apple-only features (Back to My Mac, as well as HFS+ USB support for features like Time Machine) are a pleasant touch, and the Airport Extreme is easy to set up as an extender, a router, or even an access point — perhaps the easiest of any routers we've tested.
As for Apple's other major router, we didn't consider Apple's $99 Airport Express for our article because it's a wireless-n router. The wireless world — spearheaded, in many ways, by Apple's own efforts — is moving to wireless-ac. An Airport Express might make sense if you have an older Apple laptop (or just iPhones or iPads), but that kind of an analysis is best reserved for our Best Cheap Router article (in progress).
Wait, what's wireless-ac?
Let's step back for a second. Wireless-ac, or 802.11ac, is the latest version of the Wi-Fi specification. It's much faster than wireless-n, the previous standard. Although you can use older devices with a wireless-ac router, to see any speed increase your devices have to be wireless-ac compatible.
Most modern routers can run wireless networks on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. Wireless-ac runs on the 5 GHz band, which allows it to use more wireless channels for higher-speed connections. The 5 GHz band is also used for 802.11n, while the 2.4 GHz band can run in wireless-n mode or a more common mixed mode for compatibility with older devices. If a router or gadget only supports one band, it's 2.4 GHz; only dual-band wireless-n and -ac devices can connect to the 5GHz band.
Wireless-n and wireless-ac routers also support multiple spatial streams (data streams) on each band. Using a technology called MIMO, wireless-n and -ac devices can combine these spatial streams to get faster data rates—as long as both the router and the device each support the same number of streams.
Our pick, the Netgear R6250, supports two streams on the 2.4 GHz band and three on the 5 GHz band. Each wireless-n data stream on the 2.4 GHz band has a theoretical top rate of 150 megabits per second,11 and each wireless-ac data stream on the 5 GHz band has a theoretical maximum of 433 Mbps. That gives the router a total maximum Wi-Fi speed of 300 Mbps for wireless-n and 1.3 Gbps for wireless-ac — over four times faster.
The late-2013 MacBook Pro is one of the few devices with three-stream wireless-ac connectivity built in. Most wireless-ac laptops (like the MacBook Air) have two-stream Wi-Fi, as does the Samsung Galaxy S5. Many phones have one-stream wireless-ac, like the HTC One (both last year's and this year's) and Samsung Galaxy S4. There's no iPhone on that list; wireless-ac connectivity is expected on the iPhone 6.
Even one- and two-stream wireless-ac devices are much faster when connected to the 5 GHz band on a wireless-ac router than when connected to a 2.4 GHz or 5GHz wireless-n router.
Routers are split into marketing categories based on the combined maximum bandwidth of the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, even though you can't connect one device to both bands. For example, the Netgear R6250 is an AC1600 router (300 Mbps maximum for wireless-n plus 1.3 Gbps for wireless-ac equals 1,600). Other common categories are AC1200 (two -n streams, two -ac streams), AC1750 (three and three), and AC1900 (four and three).
What to look forward to
A number of new ultra-luxe routers are making headlines lately, and we're tracking them to see how they might impact our step-up pick.
The $270 Asus RT-AC87 supports MU-MIMO (great!), but no clients currently do (not great!). Same for its four-stream wireless-ac. Only Asus' PCE-AC68 adapter supports its full, 600 Mbps wireless-n capabilities.
The $300 Netgear Nighthawk X6 R8000 can speed up your connections by splitting devices between its two (three-stream) wireless-ac radios. That said, even Netgear itself doesn't think its router will give you a speed boost in simpler scenarios. (Also, that's a lot of cash for a non-MU-MIMO router.)
Wrapping it up
Netgear's R6250 surprised us for its consistency, its speed for the two-stream devices that are the fastest most people are likely to have, and its ease of use. While there are still features we wish we could have, and a few we'd like to tweak, it's extremely difficult to find a router that does it all — especially around the $100 mark. And the fact that the R6250 also supports three-stream wireless-ac clients is a bonus (if you can make use of it). The R6250 isn't the best router in every category, but it's the best all-around wireless-ac router for most people.
1. There's also a good chance that you might not even experience the fastest speeds possible even when you're using the right devices. You can thank the concept of wireless coexistence for that. Jump back.
2. Higgins reports both uplink and downlink throughputs for each of his six major tests. We averaged these together, by band, to get a better sense of just how well each device generally performed on its wireless-n and wireless-ac connections. We ended up with a fairly simple chart listing each device's average wireless-n and wireless-ac speeds, maximum wireless-n and wireless-ac speeds, and measured speeds at a 60 dB attenuation (the range test). Jump back.
3. Locations of our test stations
- Test Station One: Approximately eight feet away from the router. Perfect line-of-sight.
- Test Station Two: Approximately 13.5 feet away from the router in a second room, with a five-inch wall separating the test station from the router.
- Test Station Three: Approximately 48 feet away from the router in the backyard. A six-inch wall / sliding glass door and various furniture is between the router room and test station.
- Test Station Four: Approximately 31 feet away from the router in a separate room, located at the end of an L-shaped corridor attached the the router's room. The signal has to bounce around hallways and/or pass directly through a few walls to make it to the client. Jump back.
4. We identified other 2.4 GHz wireless networks that were present during our testing. The quality of their signals varied during our multi-day testing process (and at each test location), but none delivered a strong enough signal to worry us about wireless interference mucking up our results. Jump back.
5. Were we to not force channel bonding, the routers should obey the "coexistence rule," which means they would drop down to using 20 MHz channels for data transmission if they detected a wireless network on a nearby channel. When that happens, your link rate gets cut in half. Jump back.
6. Throughput benchmarks vary. While we can't guarantee that the throughput results reported by Jperf are a perfect representation of our routers' wireless capabilities, Jperf is a widely used benchmarking tool by amateurs and enthusiasts alike. Jump back.
7. We ran one Jperf test on the 2.4 GHz band (wireless-n) and one on 5 GHz (wireless-ac) for each router, for each testing station. We ran each test for 60 seconds on default settings, logging the amount of data transferred and the speed at which it did so in one-second intervals. Jump back.
8. We don't want to draw too extreme a conclusion from our benchmarks, but we did generally experience more consistent performance from Netgear's R6250 than any of our other finalists. Jump back.
9. "The C7's interface is utilitarian and entirely text-based, bucking the current trend of graphics-heavy 802.11ac router interfaces. The fact that the user interface is so devoid of images indicates to me that TP-Link is gearing the device to the power user set who don't need the user-friendliness images deliver," described PCMag.com's Samara Lynn. Jump back.
10. Of the 60 Newegg comments for the R7000 we looked over between February 1 and late April of this year, 15 mentioned connectivity loss in specific or general terms, six (including some of those 15) mentioned random resets, and three discussed slowdowns (same deal). On the RT-AC68U, 11 of 59 comments mentioned some kind of connection loss, five mentioned random resets (including some of those 11), and two mentioned general slowdowns (same deal). Jump back.
11. Equal to just around 18.75 MB/s, the way that your Windows or Apple operating system usually reports data speeds when you transfer files around. Jump back.
The Joys of 802.11ac WiFi, AnandTech, July 8, 2013,
5G Wi-Fi (802.11ac) explained: It's cool, CNET, May 18, 2012,"802.11ac (aka 5G Wi-Fi) is the next step after 802.11n (aka N or Wireless-N, which is currently is the most popular Wi-Fi standard). It's backward-compatible with N, meaning that a 5G Wi-Fi router will support N clients and 5G Wi-Fi clients will also be able to connect to an N router. Wireless-N, in turn, is backward compatible with the rest of the wireless standards, including 802.11g, 802.11b, and 802.11a." "That means you can replace a router at home right now with a 5G Wi-Fi router and existing wireless devices, such as your laptop, iPad, iPhone, and so on, no matter how old, and they will still connect to your network the way they have always worked. To have the devices to work at the speed of 5G Wi-Fi, however, both the clients and the router need to support 5G Wi-Fi."
802.11ac 'gigabit Wi-Fi' starts to show potential, limits, NetworkWorld, October 7, 2013,"The maximum data rates for 11ac are highly dependent on several variables. One is whether the 11ac radios are using 80 Mhz-wide channels (11n got much of its throughput boost by being able to use 40 MHz channels). Another is whether the radios are able to use the 256 QAM modulation scheme, compared to the 64 QAM for 11n. Both of these depend on how close the 11ac clients are to the access point. Too far, and the radios 'step down' to narrower channels and lower modulations."
Why 802.11ac Will Kill The 5 GHz Wi-Fi Band, SmallNetBuilder, February 23, 2012,"As you may know, 802.11ac is a 5 GHz only standard. The reason for this is that 11ac needs to use lots of 20 MHz wide channels to achieve its higher bandwidths. Like 802.11n, 11ac has a 40 MHz bandwidth mode that eats up two channels. But to reach its higher bandwidths, 80 MHz and even 160 MHz bandwidth modes are specified, which require four and eight channels, respectively."
Home networking explained, Part 1: Here's the URL for you, CNET, April 21, 2014,"On each band, the Wireless-N standard is available in three setups, depending on the amount of spatial streams being used: single-stream, dual-stream, and three-stream, offering cap speeds of 150Mbps, 300Mbps, and 450Mbps, respectively. This in turns creates three types of true dual-band routers: N600 (each of the two bands offers a 300Mbps speed cap), N750 (one band has a 300Mbps speed cap while the other caps at 450Mbps), and N900 (each of the two bands offers up to 450Mbps cap speed)." "This latest Wi-Fi standard operates only on the 5GHz frequency band and currently offers Wi-Fi speeds of up to 1.3Gbps (or 1,300Mbps) when used in the three-stream setup. The standard also comes with dual-stream and single-stream setups that cap at 900Mbps and 450Mbps, respectively. (Note that the single-stream setup of 802.11ac is as fast as the top three-stream setup of 802.11n.)"
NETGEAR R6250 802.11ac Router review, TrustedReviews, February 12, 2014,"Netgear has pulled off something of a performance miracle with the R6250. It challenges the fastest routers available while cutting a big chunk off the price tag. You do pay for this with just one USB port, the omission of ReadyShare Cloud and Netgear really needs to upgrade its stock user interface, but few will complain at this. We'd be tempted to call the R6250 more mid-range than entry-level, but either way it tops its peers and whets our appetite for the impending UK launch of its new AC1900 flagship, the R7000 'Nighthawk'."

Thanks for letting me interject this question to this post.
It's Riverside all the way for us!
You know people complain about how spread out it is...but with how picturesque the landscaping is I could walk the grounds for hours and never get tired of it! It's simply the most beautiful of all the resorts period!

Sept. 3 - Sunrise WEDDING Vow Renewal then Drive to WDW
Sept. 4-16, 2011 - WDW HONEYMOON:
Sept 4-9 - Pop Century
Sept. 10-16 - Caribbean Beach
I never stayed at Riverside, but don't feel the need to. I loved French Quarter!
One advantage I saw was the French Quarter buses were the first stop on the bus route. Many times for us we would get on to an empty bus that would be nearly full by the time it stopped at Riverside, which meant fewer seats for them. Disney may have altered this somewhere along the way, but is meant we always got a seat.
I like both resorts, but I prefer the French Quarter. I like the quaint quiet themeing of the the whole resort. Riverside has great themeing too, but its more of a noisy bustling atmosphere. French Quarter is a very small, compact resort so everything (rooms, pool, food court, bus stop) is close together, Riverside is much larger and it can be a hike to get to the restaurants if you're over near the pool or in the plantation-style mansions. Furthermore, French Quarter only has one bus stop..... Riverside has numerous stops, which usually means it will take longer to get to the parks because the bus has to stop more places. Sometimes French Quarter does share a bus with Riverside. Sometimes they don't, lately when I've gone they haven't been. However, when they do share stops, FQ is always the first picked up and the first dropped off. Handy if you want to make sure you get a seat on a bus that will probably be packed to standing-room only, and also handy if you want to get back to your resort quicker with a nap for the kids.
Upcoming Trips to WDW:
Dec 6-10: Disney Wonder
Dec 10-19: Port Orleans French Quarter
We have never stayed at either resort,but we did stay at Caribbean Beach one year.I didn't see what all the fuss is about the moderate resorts.The rooms were not much bigger than the values resorts,maybe a little,the food court was horrible.The arcade did not have any games to play for tix for my kids to accumulate to cash in for those "corny prizes",The bus picked us up first at the Jamaica stop,but then had to go all the way around the complex to pick up everyone else.Took too long to leave the resort property just to get where you are going.The ONLY thing I saw that was better than the value resorts,is the landscaping.But even that was not that grand in my opinion.
Now as I said,this is about CBR.WE went over to these two that yall are talking about here,looked around took some pics,actually rode the boat over to them from DD.That was relaxing.But as far as staying in them,no I won't.I just don't feel that the higher prices than the value resorts is worth it.Think about it.What do you do mostly at your room?Sleep and take a shower and watch a little tv.A value resort accomodates that just fine.
Park Hopper Dad!
I stayed at Riverside when it was called Dixie Landings and then we stayed at Riverside last December. I loved it both times. I think it's really beautiful there. There are a few extra niceties (a curtain which can be used to block the sink / bathroom area etc.) but the rooms are pretty much the same as at a value resort. Fortunately we get discounts from a person who is a CM so the discount cancels out the extra cost. If I was really going to blow my wad I'd stay at the Wilderness Lodge. I like that hotel best. It's worth just walking around in even if you can't afford to stay there.
I like them both, but I prefer French Quarter. I love the quaintness of the resort. It is the smallest of the moderate resorts.
We stayed at Riverside back in the Dixie Landings days and we loved being on the river and the peacefulness of the resort. We're trying POFQ in one year and one day, and from the reviews I've read, I'm thrilled to try it out. I'd say give POFQ a try!
I'm really glad I read all these great things everyone has to say about POFQ. I booked our stay there for our honeymoon at the end of January. It always seemed like somewhere that I would really like, and after reading this, I think I made a good choice.
French Quarter for me, love the place, nice and easy to get round. Delightfully themed and nice and close to Disney Market Place for a relaxing evening river cruise after a hard day at the park.
10 monthe to go and we will be there again.

I heard the grounds, the rooms & dining are all wonderful. They didn't have any complaints when the stayed at Riverside. So, we are truely looking forward to our June trip.

Geospatial Intelligence & the Geospatial Revolution: PSU MOOC Set for 2015
Penn State's second geospatially focused MOOC, Geospatial Intelligence & the Geospatial Revolution is set for Jan 14 - Feb 18, 2015. It'll be taught by Penn State's Todd Bacastow who pretty much built the university's online GEOINT offerings.
Learn how the revolution in geospatial technology combined with the tradecraft of Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) have changed how we develop insights about the human's use of geography, and discover the power of GEOINT.
The video suggests the course will look at GEOINT broadly as it applies to military and defense work, as well as in business and public safety. It's a safe bet that the goal of the offering is both to introduce potential students to the field and to promote Penn State's programs. I say that as a MOOC watcher and a member of the advisory board for Penn State's MGIS program.

N.C. Republicans Refuse to Compensate Victims of Forced Sterilization; Cite Fear of State Liability for Slavery Reparations
Conservative Senate argued that compensating eugenics victims could open the door for post-slavery reparations in the United States.
From [HERE] and [HERE] The first serious proposal to compensate victims of forced sterilization failed Wednesday when North Carolina legislators said they were not approving any money for them.
The effort to give each victim $50,000 passed the House, but the Senate never gave the measure consideration. Republican lawmakers in that chamber said the state didn't have the money in such a tight budget year to make up for misguided, decades-old procedures. Legislators also feared paying the victims would lead other groups, such as descendants of slaves, to seek reparations.
"If you could lay the issue to rest, it might be one thing. But I'm not so sure it would lay the issue at rest because if you start compensating people who have been 'victimized' by past history, I don't know where that would end," Republican Sen. Austin Allran said.
Most states had eugenics programs but abandoned those efforts after World War II when such practices became closely associated with Nazi Germany's attempts to achieve racial purity. Scientists also debunked the assumption that "defective" humans could be weeded out of the population. North Carolina stood out because it actually ramped up its program after the war. Between 1929 and 1974, North Carolina forcibly sterilized about 7,600 people whom the state deemed "feeble-minded" or otherwise undesirable. Many were poor black women. [MORE]

Stuck in the Web
The World Wide Web has changed the face of many businesses and created entirely new ones that would not have been possible without the new medium.
Related Article: Ten Tenets of Managing Your Web Site
People have developed astounding technologies for delivering audio and video instantly to almost anyone in the world.
Companies are interacting directly with thousands of customers, determining their buying patterns, discovering their likes and dislikes and changing product lines to meet the demand of an ever-changing public.
But if I'm not an amazon.com or an over-funded techno startup company, what can the Web do for me?
Good question.
Basically stated, the Web is a 24/7 sales/marketing/service person. That is to say, whatever you want it to be.
However, before jumping into this panacea of possibilities, you must have a good understanding of (1) what your customers want from your Web offerings and (2) how the results from the Web will integrate with current business practices.
Information Access Road
In answering question number one it is important to understand the basis of all good websites –- information. No amount of attractive graphics, phenomenal layout and catchy phrases help your business if the visitor to your website cannot find your e-mail address or phone number.
The most effective way to start your website is to provide the same information that exists in other forms, such as brochures and Yellow Pages ads.
Once the groundwork is laid by converting your existing information to the Web then you can expand into areas only available to web surfers.
A website allows you to create an environment where the surfer can learn about you, your products and services, and the company at their own pace and in their own order.
On the backside, I can have my Web server tell me what parts of my site are being visited the most. Based on this information I can make intelligent decisions about the next series of changes to my website.
Integrating the results from your website into your business is one of the most attractive and cost-beneficial factors in adding a website presence.
By collecting information from your clientele and moving that information directly into your standard software you allow your customers to do much of your administrative work for you.
The following three scenarios demonstrate three different levels of technology integration, from basic to complete. Keep in mind that many organizations start from the basic end and continue more toward the complete end of the spectrum.
The basic end of the spectrum is often an on-line brochure that explains the who, what, where and why of your organization.
Typically, it is a mirror of your existing marketing information, except that it is designed for a Web audience. If you are considering a Web presence at all, always start here. It is better to have something available for people to find than to be developing the ultimate website but be losing customers because there isn't something for them to use. Think of this option as a world wide brochure stand that anyone can reach for.
A basic website should typically be created for under $1000 and hosted at an ISP for less than $50 per month.
For the ISP find a company that you would be comfortable forming a business partnership, not just the lowest bidder. Do they seem professional? Are they available?
Look out for ISPs that seem to never answer the phone, or return your phone calls. They hold quite a bit of responsibility in ensuring that your website is available.
Building on the basis of the basic website, a moderate site would include some interactivity with the user. This could be taking requests for information on-line, allowing people to make tentative on-line reservations or allowing a visitor to order products on-line.
The largest difference here is the interactivity with the visitor. This difference alone can set your website apart from some else who is just using a basic website.
People are much more likely to make return visits to a website in which they feel involved or connected as opposed to those that are just static information.
A moderate web site hosts at an ISP for about $99 per month. From the design aspect, there are quite a few Web page design programs. Two of the most popular for beginners are Microsoft FrontPage and Adobe Pagemill. Both afford the beginner templates from which to create their websites.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA SAN JOSE DIVISION THE APPLE iPOD iTUNES ANTI-TRUST LITIGATION. Case No. C 05-00037 JW C 06-04457 JW DEFENDANT'S RESPONSE TO PLAINTIFFS' ADMINISTRATIVE MOTION TO SEAL Date: Time: Place: February 10, 2010 9:30 A.M. Courtroom 2, 5th floor I. INTRODUCTION Pursuant to Local Rule 79-5(c) and (d), Apple supports Plaintiffs' Administrative Motion to File Under Seal (Dkt. 304), specifically the portions of the Motion to Compel and Roach Declaration which refer to information that Apple designated as "Confidential--Attorneys Eyes Only" under the Stipulation and Protective Order Regarding Confidential Information ("Protective Order") entered June 13, 2007 (Document No. 112). Pursuant to Local Rule 79-5, Apple files this Response and the accompanying declaration in support of a narrowly tailored order authorizing sealing those documents, on the grounds that there is good cause to protect the confidentiality of that information. The proposed sealing order 1 Defendant's Response to Plaintiffs' Administrative Motion to Seal C 05-00037 JW; C 06-04457 JW Dockets.Justia.com Case5:05-cv-00037-JW Document317 Filed01/22/10 Page2 of 2 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 is based on the Protective Order in this action and proof that particularized injury to defendant will result if the sensitive information is publicly released. II. STANDARD Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c), this Court has broad discretion to permit sealing of court documents to protect "a trade secret or other confidential research, development, or commercial information." Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(c). Based on this authority, the Ninth Circuit has "carved out an exception to the presumption of access to judicial records for a sealed discovery document [attached] to a non-dispositive motion." Navarro v. Eskanos & Adler, No. C-06 02231 WHA (EDL), 2007 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 24864, at *6 (N.D. Cal. March 22, 2007) (citing Kamakana v. Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1179 (9th Cir. 2006)). III. ARGUMENT A. There is Good Cause to Support Filing Under Seal. Apple has designated the documents containing the information as "ConfidentialAttorneys' Eyes Only" under the Protective Order. The accompanying declaration establishes good cause to permit filing under seal. It establishes that Apple itself treats the information at issue as confidential within its own organization. See Declaration of Eddy Cue in Support of Defendant's Response to Plaintiffs' Administrative Motion to Seal, ¶¶2-8. Moreover, disclosure of the redacted contents of these documents would cause Apple to suffer injury. See Id. IV. CONCLUSION Defendant respectfully requests that this Court grant Plaintiffs' Administrative Motion to File Under Seal Portions of Plaintiffs' Motion to Compel Further Response From Defendant Apple Inc. and Exhibits 11, 17, 22, 23, 24, 27, 30, 35 to the Roach Declaration Pursuant to Local Rule 79-5(b)-(c).

I'm slow. Sometimes I'm really really slow. Two years ago, some friends and customers asked me to create a Sand Fibers frequent pattern buyer program. I never did. And that's not what I'm doing now either.
Instead, I present
This is the brand-spanking-new Sand Fibers Pattern Subscription program that I am launching today, April 13th, 2012.
For the first 25 subscribers, the introductory price for a one year subscription to all new, first edition Sand Fibers patterns is only $100. If you sign up today, you will automatically receive any new pattern I publish between April 1, 2012, and March 31, 2013, BEFORE I even list the pattern on Etsy. I have already published Loop-de-Loop: Antiquities, which would be sent with your subscription confirmation. Next week, I will be releasing at least three additional patterns, including the new Panama City Grill and Narrow Fall Ruffles and the not-so-new design (but new pattern) Color Study in White.
That's at least $40 worth of patterns in just the first month of your subscription. In addition, Sand Fibers elite subscribers will be refunded the value of the pattern in any (old or new) Sand Fibers kit they purchase in the Etsy store over the course of the year.
After the first 25 Sand Fibers elite sign up, the cost of the subscription will go up to $150, so... To subscribe, send me an email at email@example.com to let me know you're interested. I will send you a PayPal invoice for the cost. Thank you much, my friends!
See how lucky this Friday the Thirteenth could be for you! ;) Be well and get going.
