    Unfortunately the wifi signal is very poor. The TV's in the house have very inconsistent connection as well as the computer in the office. We have a 1700 square foot home and were told it would easily cover 2500 SF.

    Super fast wifi speeds. Was hitting 1.8 gbps download and upload over wifi 6. I mainly needed this for the quest 3 and pcvr and the 5ghz band was very congested in my neighborhood so this router did not give me a very good wireless pcvr experience. I will always recommend a tri band router if you can find one for a decent price after trying a few dual bands out and being met with congestion.
