    It works but I can’t tell if I’m getting the AX speed back haul between the main unit and the satellite. Things running off the satellite seem like they’re running slower than they should be at times. I’ve got about 35 different devices connected though with smart home accessories and everything is running so I can’t complain too much.

    I'm sure it's fine for people who just need to plug and play and aren't running 1000 MB/s speeds but if you're doing any game downloads it dumps connection to the modem above 40 MB/s. Sure it resets but I shouldn't have to bother.
