This is the fastest router I have ever purchased with excellent range

In actual use I find that the X8 while supporting faster speeds does not have as good a range as the former top of the line X6.

Quite impressive considering the unit is running the original firmware it came with (brand new routers tend to be buggy until new firmwares are issued).So far this router lives up to its hype and delivers astonishment speed and range

Great range and easy to use.

Amazing speed and range, works as well as my Archer AC5400 router

The range and connection are a little better than the older products

also - of course 5G is meant for speed over range distance, so when wanting to access Wi-Fi in back yard 2.4 has the best range, but the 5G will pick up also - just not as many bars - as expected.

It's just what I needed super fast and long range.

Great range

Range is great too

The Airport was still going strong, but I upgraded because of 1) an increasing number of devices in the house, 2) an inability to get a consistent open NAT for multiple Xbox One's, 3) a desire for greater range, and 4) wanting to future-proof a bit

Had the X-8 for first two weeks work great, until 5G-1 stop working and 5G-2 slowly stop working

I have to disable it or not using the 5G network as it refuses to connect, or connects but extremely slow.

My old router would not work in the upstairs and was terribly slow, 5g would not even be available on the third floor

Then there are the disconnects involving 5G wi-fi, another well documented issue with this router
