    I had to return it because I could not figure out how to set it up. I consider myself pretty tech-savvy and I've set up multiple router/modems in my day, but this was the worst. The website to activate it didn't work and the customer service was abysmal. I had a friend who is a computer science engineer and he couldn't figure it out either. Do yourself a favor, spend the extra $50-$100 and get a better one. You'll be glad you did.

    Unreliable connection, poor wi-fi signal, just "not great." Intermittent disconnection, having to reset the device at least once a day.
