    While the features it offers is cool and legit, I only ended up using it once or twice and never bothered with it again. It is too much of a hassle to constantly mess with the geo filter. It also didn't improve latency for me. Lastly what got me to return the router was that the WiFi kept dropping my connection after the first few days. I tried the latest firmware, resetting etc and nothing worked. Save your money and get a non "gaming" router.

    Had high hopes for this router brought it home took some time to get up and running but finally got it working since then multiple issues. First issue is the GUI keeps freezing and parts of it stop working where you have to reboot. The second and Most frustrating aspect is keeps dropping connections on Wi-Fi devices this happens frequently and often as I’m sitting here trying to work from home during COVID-19 the router has pretty much stopped connecting to any of my Wi-Fi devices and only wire devices only option is to reboot once again I am frustrated I am considering taking this back to Best Buy as I am an elite plus member and have the right to do so. most frustrating aspect is keeps dropping connections on Wi-Fi devices this happens frequently and often as I’m sitting here trying to work from home during COVID-19 the router has pretty much stopped connecting to any of my Wi-Fi devices and only wire devices only option is to reboot once again I am frustrated I am considering taking this back to Best Buy as I am an elite plus member and have the right to do so. It’s 2020 how hard is it to make a router that’s dependable?
