Get it, it’s capable and worth it. I have Linksys 8 port switch on each node and also use wireless on all of them. In my home I have 24 devices running sometimes more because of the WiFi and 4K TV’s and one OLED hardwired and they run smooth with no hiccups. I highly recommend the eeros.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.All good. Currently have 22 devices connected. 6 streaming devices including Tivo and Amazon Stick and 4K tv’s Also Cat 7 connected. Everything works smoothly.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have 2 4K Apple TV, 4 ring video cameras, 3 laptops, 2 amazon tablets, 1 2nd gen Apple TV, three smart TV, and 3 IPHONES all running of the WiFi with zero streaming issues. Covers my entire 3500 square foot house three level house. Now I do have the router on the middle level by the front door. Running a CAT 6 cable from my Verizon ONT box directly to this router. This router is worth the purchase!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I'm using mine for streaming, gaming, mobile devices, a couple laptops, and a ground up smart home system. Watching hulu while 4k gaming, 4kgaming in one room while 1080p gaming in another (both online games) and using laptop and mobile for live streaming and video chat. These routers can really handle a lot of traffic at once.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.For a loaded home network like you describe, probably better off with one of the newer models with a faster processor. Look on the box for at least a “1.7 ghz processor” and “wifi 6” for best possible future proofing. My network is desktop pc’s with ethernet and a few iPhones, a much lower data bandwidth situation.
