I used to have C7 for a year, and it was fast when it worked correctly. Unfortunately, once every month or so the wifi would stop working and needed a restart. We also have a weirdly long apartment that didn't get reception at the far end. This was with 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz bands.

I've since switched to OnHub for 6 months and it's been great. I have yet to restart the router and get pretty decent coverage all around the apartment. Well worth the extra money for completely pain free wifi.

Side note: having gone through a bunch of dual band routers so far I've found most did not allow 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz bands to coexist as the same SSID reliably. If I did, my MacBook would constantly get 'locked' to 2.4Ghz with lower bandwidth, since it had better coverage. The OnHub seems to handle this really well and I have not had any issues at all.
