Every time a firmware is pushed out, the rouer messes up causing me to do a factory reset

Also, uses a Broadcom chip and do not expect open router community support (dd-wrt or open wrt) any time soon.

I read online that many others experience the same problem - some having to restart multiple times a day as well.

Second issue was that it kept losing internet connection randomly, several times a day

But I lose my internet 2 or 3 times a day (and today, when I'm writing this, it failed 4 times), requiring a reboot each time, and making the unit totally unreliable.

Afterwards, while watching a movie, the video froze multiple times and I would get the spinning wheel

Hangs all the time

and it's miserable each time

Wifi speeds were slow, but I thought it was due to ISP - recently had some free time to investigate, and it turns out the Wired connection is giving me close to ISP advertised (

Had a hard time getting it set up

Honestly I’m very fed up with them this time around that they’ve ruined a 14 year customer relation

I bought this router in desperate times (work and school from home)

Why waste more time writing a thorough review of the nightmare experience I had with this item

but the thing loses wireless connection every time it goes to sleep for some reason and you have to manually reboot the printer each time.

Good time to buy a new router

The firmware update failed multiple times and the setup experience was frustrating as the app

Wi-Fi fails multiple times a day for hours at a time

Were supposed to be twice as fast download time as my other unit

They couldn't even get the time server sync correctly to show the correct time

wifi speed, then connect to back of router and test speed, wasting my time.

I was losing my connection all the time even with extenders.
