    Seemed like a great product. However it did not have a plugin for a coax cable. I was forced to return the item.

      Hi, Chapi,

      We appreciate your feedback. Losing the signal easily when moving the position of your router is very uncommon. Allow us to take care of this challenge. To achieve stable connection, we recommend to reflash the firmware of your router using a wired PC, followed by doing a factory reset an. Then to fully maximize the wireless performance of your device, we suggest modifying the channels for the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wireless networks, to whatever suits best with your existing network environment. Should you need further assistance, get in touch with us at [email protected] along with your contact details and the link to this review for reference. We would be more than willing to lend a hand.

      Regards,

    Purchased this router to use with a broadband service. It was very easy to setup and have had no issues with it hooking up to our DVR or satellite TV box/DVR.

    Wasnt able to run a hard wire set up. But this has been a great substitute. Occasionally drops the 5ghz signal but that is likely due to the room placement.

      Hi TRivers,

      The adapter could not be getting enough signal from the router. You may need to move closer to the router to increase the signal received by your adapter. Make sure also that its driver is up to date.

      If the connection will not improve, please get in touch with us at [email protected] with your contact details and the link to this review.

    This item came up when I sorted for router-modem combos and seemed to fit the criteria; maybe it's my fault I didn't read closely enough, but it is not a combo. I have yet to use it because I still require a router, so this review is mostly me warning anyone else that finds this under router-modem sets like I did. It's only a modem.

    I get the maximum speed out of the 5ghz but the 2.5 GHz is relatively slow. I sometimes get less than 5mbps.

    You need to use opendns to prevent your child to access bad site. I thought this router has the function for filtering those sites. Signal strength is about average (it may be the internet provider speed - I don't know). I use 1 port for ps4 game, 1 for voip phone, 1 for cellphone and 1 for computer. This router has priority function and filtering function. You can access this router from everywhere using your smart phone.

      Hi, Felix,

      It is indeed essential to protect your kids from potential malicious websites. With the Parental Control feature of this router, you should be able to limit access to the Internet and block specific websites for individual devices. As for the signal strength, adjusting the wireless channel and repositioning the antennas could help optimize the wireless signal. We can have you contacted by the Support team if you need assistance with the process. Feel free to email us at [email protected] with your phone number and the link to this post for our reference.

    The router worked fine in plug-n-play mode. However, it was difficult to configure for more advanced features such as port-forwarding. The old Linksys interface and firmware was easier to configure. Linksys Tech support was of no value. They kept repeating the same instructions due to difficulty in communicating in English and wouldn't elevate the call. I had to remove the unit and replace it with a different model.
