I had this exact one - used it for about a year. User-interface wise, it's literally the most bare-bones router I've EVER owned....and I've owned much cheaper $40 routers that can atleast tell you what devices are using the network (the E9450 retails for $99 and I bought it years ago for $80 on sale). Not recommended for renters if you are remotely concerned about someone stealing your internet because there's no way to see what devices are on your network for instance. I'm currently using a Ubiquiti Gateway Ultra ($130 device) and it's a night-and-day difference - the user-interface of the Ubiquiti literally makes your jaws drop (super gorgeous graphics) and makes you want to toy around with it and learn how networking works. Decided to ditch the E9450 because each month, although I live alone, Xfinity is always telling me I'm going over my 1.2TB data cap and that they're charging me extra. The Ubiquiti shows me exactly which device is consuming how much data each month (and it even drills down to the App level - e.g. Youtube on my Macbook consumed 1.5GB of data).
