Easy setup with app for your phone. You can use a browser to set it up but the app is easier. Covers my whole house better than the router provided by my internet provider. Only negative is that I can’t hide the SSID name

Very easy to use and set up. Has a great range and the signal strength is pretty solid throughout my house, I can still even get a good signal outside my house.

Finally found the missing link with this new router! Upgraded from the Linksys AC1900 Router and there is a tremendous difference. Highly recommend this router if you have more than 10 connected devices.

My previous router was well over a decade old, and while it worked, some of my newer IoT stuff was having connectivity issues. This has been a flawless upgrade to get everything back on track.

I realized that I didn’t have enough download speed in my home and that eventually I would want to upgrade to something more “elite”, and that’s when I researched this product. It feels good to have a network with flawless connection and high speeds. It connects to multiple devices at once and it won’t decrease the upload/download speeds which I love. The mobile app is a blessing in disguise and I love how you can edit setting or test speeds without having to get on a computer. It’s so convenient. If you’re looking for a powerful router that does everything you need it to do, head down to your local Best Buy. You won’t be disappointed.

App makes set-up easy. Performance seems to be doing what it is supposed to. Upgraded from an older Linksys router and this one has delivered less breaks in WiFi coverage.

This router has excellent band width and speed. It integrated well with my Velop mesh wifi nodes. I have great coverage throughout my house and yard.
What really made the difference for me was the working USB port. I have a 4 TB drive attached to the router. It is accessible by all of the devices on my network. That took a while for me to configure, mostly because it took me a while to find instructions.

It was on sale and it replaced another router I had purchased from amazon. This can keep up with the speed I have and haven’t had any issues. Easy setup as well.

So Much Better than my old router

Tip: Shut down any wifi devices in your home before installing. It took me an hour trying to get this to work when I realized my extenders needed for the previous router were causing the issue.
Once the only wifi I had was from the router, it took minutes to set up and I was amazed at the difference. I have high speed cable modem with Spectrum and could clock 340 MBPS on the Ethernet connection, but my son could easily connect to the wifi without the need for an extender and was getting 190 MBPS in his room. So much faster and responsive than my last router which was only 6 years older.

Upgraded my wifi router to this one. It can support Velop devices so you can use them as a mesh network. Speed is fast and setup is a breeze using my iPhone.
