    Great speeds but poor connection

    I had this unit for a little over a week. It had great wireless connection speeds to my laptop but everything else was lacking even when being the only item on the network. It then began to drop connection to our cellphones (at the same time so it was not the cell phones issue). I returned this and bought the Linksys Mac Stream AC2300 and have been far more pleased.

    LAN speed was slower than wireless. Wireless was lacking in any of the tri-band configurations. Parental controls do not exist. Disney circle+ doesn't exist anymore. The 9 year old Linksys router with wireless that I had was faster and more stable.

    Initially appeared to be a good router with good wifi coverage. However, having continuous problems with dropped wifi signal. Despite adjustments in router settings and computer settings problem persists. Further research reveals other owners having similar problems. Considering returning router.

    Was easy to set up. However router stopped working after less than 6 months. Lap top and smart phones appeared to be connected to wifi, but was impossible to connect to internet. Tech support was useless. Bought different brand, no problems since. Total waste of my money.

    Bought in June 2018. Die in Oct 2018. Update firmware. Did manufacturers hard reset 3 times. Unfortunately pass return store policy. Still under manufacture 1 warranty but very difficult to get an exchange or return. So give up on returning bought another router. So make sure to buy the Best Buy geek extended warranty for this product.

    Works ok as a router but you have to subscribe to parental controls, that was a letdown.
