This is good if you have line of sight with the two satellites it comes with poor wall penetration of signal hence line of sight.placement of satellites.

Purchased this system because was informed that my older Orbi mesh system was no longer going to be updated. This coverage is just as good as my old system, and it has tri band vs. dual band. Was informed that I could set up this system with the same SSID name as my old Orbi mesh router so that I wouldn't have to re-connect all my devices again to my network. That didn't happen. Still had to connect to the same SSID system with password on all my devices. Also, there are fewer ethernet ports than on my older mesh router, which caused another problem.
Solid. Super easy setup and great simple to use admin app. Simple form factor. AA++

The boxing, the setup, the performance, the support, this Duo is stellar! I only wish I had purchased sooner. I’ve found a manufacturer that I’ll stay with on future needs
It’s suppose to cover a 5,000 sq foot house, mine is 3400 sq f and the signal is always weak. I paid way too much for this on going issue
