Shoddy at best.

This unit was a real let-down. I had gone in-store with a particular model in mind (after researching online) but saw this on the shelf next to it. I read the specs and saw it had 4.1 stars from bb.com. I bought it expecting the blazing speeds it promised but it has just been a garbage experience from the get-go. The wireless is in and out all day, the connection is not stable (and it isn't my ISP). Additionally it does not deliver the speeds my ISP provides. I will be returning this unit to the store to get a MODEM ONLY model to use with a Netgear AC router I ordered from Amazon. This model is unstable and flawed, AVOID.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Download speed coming in is 105, why is wireless download speed only 30?

Internet is Comcast Extreme 105. Ethernet connection to router produces download speeds around 88Mbps. However wireless download speeds range from 10.5 Mbps to 38 Mbps. How can I increase the wireless download speed? Will this router be sufficient or should I look for a different one?
I would go with a modem-only model. I found this unit to be a let-down in terms of wireless speed and connectivity. In doing further research the 6141 or 6183 models would be a better choice in conjunction with a router.
