This was impossible to get back up and working, and the tech support was HORRIBLE!!!!!!!

Tech support will do their best to help, without a solution
-
It has an old tech look about it and is pretty big compared to the aforementioned cheaper router`s, but if you have burn money, then I would recommend this router.

so I called their tech support from the website in their instructions

Reviews around coverage (4.47 of 5)
-
The dead zones at my house are now getting great WiFi coverage
-
They've all had various problems, from regularly required reboots, poor WiFi coverage, connectivity problems to work using standard connectivity methods, poor performance, etc
-
Because of the forced shared SSID on both bands, I have connectivity issues on the limits of the range of the 5G band where my devices refuse to switch to 2.4G band

I was working with a 4 year old router which provided spotty coverage upstairs in my condo.

-
the range is great, speed is unmatched, and setup was very easy.

Constantly drops packets, has weak range, and has to be paired with a separate switch if you need wired devices.

That said the performance is great, range and speed is excellent

Reviews around feature (4.04 of 5)
-
The app I'd also very simple to use and has good features.
-
The current V2 production model (V1 is out of production) has very dumbed down Firmware that lacks many features and capability
-
The Google Wifi app is great as well and has enough features for my usage
-
It does lack more advanced features that you would find in a router that supports DDWRT, for example, so if you're looking for something similar this isn't the router for you.
-
Overall, it is a very capable router that, while still not inexpensive, provides robust features that competes well in this space.

This router is straightforward, reliable and high performance

This router has great performance, and I like the administration interface.

I have full coverage with no dead spots and this router has excellent performance.

and I have to say, this is the best performance for the money that I ever had on a router

It then tries to force your device onto the 2.4ghz where performance is even worse

this does a great job doing that, and the app is fantastic on Android.

The app is great i can see which devices are in use, how much they are using

Reviews around device (3.60 of 5)
-
Has no problems running multiple devices at once, have yet to see a slow down
-
The biggest caveat here is that not many devices support MU-MIMO yet
-
Download the Google On app and your smart device will auto detect the router.
-
Handles multiple devices flawlessly and the device prioritization works fantastically!

When it disconnect, all devices suffers at the same time and it's randomly

Reviews around thing (3.35 of 5)
-
Perhaps not the worst thing in the world, but it was a pretty annoying
-
The single most annoying thing is the app based interface, its great if things are working, its pure frustration if you have network issues.
-
The thing is beautiful, but most of all it is the best performing router I have ever owned
-
This should have been a good thing considering we couldn't understand each other on the phone, but the problem is

The only good thing about this router is if you are looking to add an additional router in your house, not as bridge, but just a second router.

Reviews around lack (2.25 of 5)
-
This router works great for routing, but lacks features that most devices have in this price range
-
I went from a single band to this triple band as well as from a 10Mbit to 100Mbit service
-
The only drawback in the packaging is the lack of detailed instructions
-
I wanted something that was going to give me a little more directional boost in wifi throughout my house as well as give me better security than many of the basic routers out there

I like the performance and features, the lack of ports is the only downside for me

Reviews around problem (2.11 of 5)
-
You know there is a big problem when even the wired connections are not working much less the WIFI
-
When you are paying your ISP upwards of 300 dollars a month for cable, phone and internet, I feel like these problems are not something a consumer should have to deal with
-
As someone who has always purchased top of line routers, most of the time more expensive than the OnHub, I have quite a bit of experience with router settings as well as router problems.
-
When the internet was not working I clicked on the app to trouble shoot the problem but because there was no internet the app wouldn't work
-
But with OnHub, the signal strength became unbelievably strong immediately - no problem or buffering even when multiple devices were connected simultaneously - streaming tv, music, VoIP, phones, tablets and laptops

Reviews around time (2.09 of 5)
-
Only time will tell how it works over time, I would recommended the On-Hub to anyone who wants a easy to set up wireless router.
-
Installation took about ten minutes, with most of that being dead time as it updated it's firmware.
-
After hard time figured it out how work, honestly, it works well
-
Every time I reboot, I lose all WIFI settings and have to reconfigure device
-
But it took me about 5-6 times to connect to PS4 and while Macbook and Mackbook Pros take a long time (10-20seconds) to reconnect when return from blank screen of inactivity

I got this to replace a wireless router that was having intermittent connectivity issues.

The bad - I've been wanting to assign static IP's to a couple of devices that are hardwired via a switch I have connected, but when looking at the network and trying to find which Mac address is assigned to what device, the current UI refreshes the list every time you look at a device then go back

Faster isn't always better if you have connection issues

The IEEE 802.11ac technology eliminated connection issues I was having with my older IEEE 802.11n wireless router
-
Use to have connection issues with devices that are far from away from router but these external antennas did the trick.

Returned due to 2.4 GHz network dropping after router had been on a couple days, connection issues from 2.4-only devices, and an insane error message stating "The 5GHz network is unavailable due to restrictions in your region/country."

Not quite wire speed nor as fast as the fiber modem's built-in radio, but not bad, so that verified that the test setup was valid.

If you're looking for better reach in dead zones in your house, this is not the product you're looking for.

Easy to set up except that the documentation did not clearly how explain how to give a hard-wired networked device a fixed IP

I was able to easily assign a static ip number to one of my devices but expect that options for other activities will increase with each firmware update.

coverage of the 2.4 GHz band is very good and the 5GHz is good, but it is a limitation of the waves properties, not of the router itself.-I connected my external hard drive to the USB 3.0 port and was recognized

The newest firmware has more settings in the app (port forwarding, DNS settings, WAN settings, Static IPs, UPnP), so they're listening to the users and they're getting these things more in line with the other AC routers in terms of Advanced Options
-
It's simple and more modern than a "blocky" router.- You can assign static IPs to certain
-
You can't add the DHCP configs via Mac address, you can only assign static ips to devices that have connected to the ON via DHCP once.

It will pop up a warning that says that you will lose support for WAN configuration, UPnP, port forwarding, client static IPs, and DNS settings.
