    Hook up was easy and a breeze but it would work with my inner company equipment. I try get supports help to get work they call your inner company we can't help you and innet company told me the same thing. I not good with how all this works and so I tried for a couple days to get work doing what it said so I just gave up and took back to store.

    It gets the job done, but for anything more than just googling things, this is not the right router. The connection is extremely slow, especially if I am in another room away from it, and with the door close. Even just to play a song on YouTube or a video on Instagram, the connection is really spotty, and the video freezes constantly.

    Bought this to replace a long-in-the-tooth WiFi gateway. It configured simply as expected and delivers a strong WiFi signal through a very complex building. Great value for the money.

    Product is okay for a single user close to the router. I have about 10 devices iPhones, iPads, 2 kids that play online, security cameras, Ring and Netflix. I think this product maxed out w the signal from about 100 feet away. I suggest you spend on something more expensive with “mesh” technology otherwise a decent product for a college kid or someone that doesn’t require distant or a lot of end points.

    Using these to hookup security cameras. The older routers didn't play well with the newer modems. These had the cameras up and running in no time. UPNP made everything really simple.

    I have a low barrier for happiness. It was relatively easy to "install" and it's been working fine with no issues. So I'm happy with it.
