    A little bit of struggle with set up, as cable company wasn't much help. The 4K streaming (why I got it in the first place) is excellent, both in flawless transmission and quality of picture and sound. Glad I did the upgrade.

    This router works great. It make take a bit of effort and research to change the password...I did so because it's made in China and I was not fond of the idea of allowing a back door to the data going through the router.

    Would of like an easier set up with my modem,because I bought them together and it took 35min to set up. I believe that takes to long. Also the manufacturer warranty should be longer on these items

    This has been a great router. It works pretty great and the fact that you can control it with an app is the cherry on top. It’s good for a small size apartment.

    Over all so far so good now that I got the thing hooked up right. Not as easy as said. It it tucked away behind my screen and seems to be fine. I like the tall thin ones as they take up less room, but did find a spot for it that works.

    When I had my older router, streaming would cut out and reboot. With this newer router, I have less interruptions and can watch my programs with less inconvenience and frustrated moments.
