I appreciate the VLAN tagging feature on the Internet port, but this router can ACTUALLY download and upload close to 1 gigabit speeds

Powerful and full featured.

Also tried the Smart Connect feature.

All I needed was a new router with modern features like MU-MIMO and Beamforming.

But as of right now its the most powerful ,feature filled router I have ever own.

There are tons of useful features you will find in this unit that you will not find in your average router

The router web interface also has a nice feature to monitor real time traffic.

One especially nice feature of the firmware is that you can set up multiple "guest" WiFi networks which are not allowed to access devices/systems on your main, non-guest WiFi networks -- they can only access the Internet directly

I purchased one and loved the interface and features

The idea of the ability to use the ai mesh feature in the future without replacing everything is intriguing, although I have not tried this, and from what I have read, the feature still needs work

Well, apparently, my first two were duds as they had the very common issue of the Wifi signals constantly dropping.
