    I have a 3,100 SQFT, 2 story house and it works great all over. Super easy to set up and has some great features. Allows you to set WiFi times on your kids devices so you don’t have to worry about them playing video games all night long.

    Best hardware and software purchase I have made in a long time. I love this thing. I wish they would enhance the parental controls a little more but gives my the wifi6 goodness I need. It didn't quite cover my whole home so I bought the mesh unit as well

    This changed my house’s life. Our internet is now the best there ever was, and this thing packs a PUNCH! It’s hands down the best router I’ve ever had, and the app pretty much lets me do anything and everything I could want.

    Excellent router on its own with decently high speeds. Lacks a lot of functionality professional grade models have but great for plug and play consumers. Bought a second one to create a mesh network and it seamlessly integrated using the app.

    Looks amazing, easy to set up, and actually works!! Purchased this because I had a dead spot in one corner of the house and the backyard. This went above and beyond I literally have a wifi connection up to 2 houses away.

    Set up was very easy. Internet went from spotty and aweful with a nighthawk router to reliable and fast with this. But it and be done with terrible internet problems.

    Easy setup that took less than 2 minutes to complete and go online. This includes downloading the required app on cell phone. Once online it has been bulletproof with zero downtime. I would definitely recommend this router if cost isn’t an issue.

    Finally a router that doesnt need restarted every week. Runs itself once you set up and the app to manage it is just great. Only missing homekit intergration. Other than that? Flawless.

    What is there not to like? Well, maybe the price. I purchased two and have them wire together for ethernet backhall. It works decently well for my configuration. It might be worth waiting to see if these go on sale, although it’s very unlikely

    It’s probably easy to set up but my tech level is minimal. Once I had some help from a friend, it was a no-brainer. Haven’t had to touch it since (set up six months ago).

    Solid Router with good features.

    Good quality router with decent feature set. The touch screen on the front of the router is helpful (and kinda cool). Only issue I had was the range wasn't as good as I had hoped. The 2.4 frequency couldn't reach my driveway gate controller. Setting up another Node would have solved it but then that's another $350 outlay so I ended up returning the unit. The system is only WiFi 6 (not 6e) and already a few years on the market so a newer model will probably be released in the not too distant future.

    Was a little skeptical to purchase as it is a brand I had never heard of. I am glad I decided to buy it. Performance and installation was a breeze. If you pay for internet of 1 gbps or below, this router is for you.

    This is the best router you can buy for a perfect WiFi 6 experience at home. You dont need to be a certified IT person to configure it thanks to their smart phone app. Has EXCEPTIONAL range.

    This is the best wifi router/Mesh I have had. I try orbi wifi six and eero Pro 6, but this one is another level. I love it & it is a great router, worth the money compare to the orbi wifi 6.
