Reviews around speed (3.73 of 5)

  • Provides much faster internet speeds then some routers that internet companies try to sell you with their plans
  • The 900Mbps wireless speed is irrelevant and total marketing BS.
  • When it was 'working' normal websites would only partially load and never finish, speeds were insufficient to watch anything at a decent quality even if only one device was streaming.
  • I got this to replace my old router since my wi-fi speeds were dismal even sitting next to the router.
  • It maximizes our available internet speed and delivers it to the far corners of the house - very pleased!

  • With the app, its so simple to disable devices using your Wifi
  • Less than a year after purchasing this router the router became faulty, but only because I tried to update the firmware I would not suggest this to anyone looking for a reliable device.
  • Supports multiple devices being connected quite easily and without degrading the connection
  • And the 2ghz band for smart phones and other smart devices
  • My husband says this device is not secure - it does not have a secure admin connection.
