    Made it 2 weeks before I had to send it out for RMA. Figure the cost in for the Best Buy replacement plan when comparing this unit. Better than dealing with the Mfg. When it was working it lived up to its claims of ease of use, speed, range, and managing connections.

    I was excited when i first purchased this router. The display touchscreen and everything was nice and setup was pretty easy but everything that glitters isnt gold. I have bought the first one and after about 6 months the router stopped displaying wifi signal. got it touch with customer support which by the way is totally useless. so i said maybe i had a faulty one and exchanged it for another one. As before i took it home hooked it up no problems everything was going fine and 7 months later the second did the same thing!!!!! out of the blue no wifi signal. So nnedless i have teaken it back and never to buy again. So be careful if you plan to purchase its took costly to have issue occur lees than a year of buying

    This thing is fast. Doesn’t have many options that you’d find in enterprises gear but it’s not enterprise gear so I can’t knock points off for that.
