Was great till it kept restarting
It was great until the unit connected to the modem kept restarting every 10 minutes. This happened regardless of swapping them around. The 6 GHz signal was strong and made good connection from the basement up to 1st floor. When used as a connection frequency, it has very good throughput speeds. Setup was fast and easy, And it had great signal strength, coverage, and low ping. Still, firmware issues were very concerning and I'd recommend the XT9

So far so good. Not great but OK
So far they work well. Setup is not intuitive and was difficult. I use an ASUS router at work and already had the app, which seemed to confuse the new router.
