Apple esque approach ruins a good product
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The capabilities of this router are great, but the software and design are extremely lacking. First, the antennas cannot be replaced. This would be acceptable if it provided adequate signaling, but it does not. The 6ghz frequency barely covers my 2 bedroom apartment, and the speeds are barely better than a wifi 5 router on 5ghz. I'll also comment that the speeds on 5ghz are significantly slower. The 4 antennas are small, and having the option to replace them would improve my opinion of the product. Further, the configuration app does not allow for the channels to be manually chosen. This eould be acceptable if the automatic detection worked in any way, but it doesn't. For the 2.4 ghz and 5 ghz frequencies, the router automatically chose the most crowded range it possibly could have. An embarrassingly lacking display in ineptitude for design of this product's software. The only reason the 6ghz does as well as it has is because no other routers operate on that frequency in my area yet. My previous router had replaceable antenna and allowed for configuration of the channels, so this step back can only be an incredibly cheap approach to hardware, or stupid and ignorant software design. I have only seen software or hardware this clearly ignorant to consumer tinkering in apple products in the past, and I'm very disappointed to see it here. If I could return the product, I would.

Worst router ever owned
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.iOS devices still frequently lose connection, even on latest firmware (released last June). I wanted this to work well and have it 2 months, but it’s the worst router I’ve ever owned and the support experience has been awful. If I could I’d return it.

The firmware is a step backwards
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The firmware is a major step backwards. No option to turn off the WiFi. No option to access the external storage other than a computer. It is being returned as soon as I found out the firmware is lacking on important basic features. I will not be using Linksys routers anymore.
