    • The multiple bands work perfect with all the devices i have and had eliminated any slowdowns from network transfer
    • So I RESET the router, and then input my new SSID and password and, voila, the 2.4 GHz band started connecting to all of my devices and all has worked well ever since.
    • It was working well first 18 months but since then, it drops wifi constantly
    • Had to return first one, new one works great, easy to setup
    • Tri-band setting could still use some work, but otherwise easy to setup out of the box and get your whole home smothered in quick wifi.
    • Stay away until all the bugs are worked
    • It was working PERFECT for the last 9 months and now it has been dropping the internet connection every 2 to 3 days and won't work until I reboot it

    • i've found a configuration that at least for my particular router works great.
    • 2.4ghz worked for one night then died
    • But the most basic feature (connect at 2.4 GHz frequency) randomly fails (5 GHz always worked)
    • So far all have worked great.
    • Range is better than the Asus and works perfect with Apple Air play, my Denon receiver, and every other device we have.
    • I did however try the smart connect features which again is one of those things that sounds great on paper but works terrible in practice.
    • We are using this router at our business in a metal building and it is working great.
