Fantastic unit all around and easy to configure!
The Netgear Nighthawk AX3000 Dual-Band WiFi 6 Router provides a solid wireless solution that can reach more than 80 feet away from the unit OUTSIDE the house with the ability to reliably stream from a Roku in the backyard when used in a home environment. What more can anyone ask from a $130 router from Best Buy? Highly recommended!
