This router has allowed us to set up wireless internet, super quick and super easy, without the confusion to be able to get great fast speeds throughout our home. Love it.
Excellent router modem combination. Installation was trouble free. Brought two. Needed a little help with the second one but support fixed in in just a few minutes.
Initially the setup was pretty easy using the WPS buttons...I have both 5g and 2.4g, so I had to “pair” it twice like the instructions said, but moving devices around the house would drop connections. After a couple days the extended just stopped connecting. I had to pair again. Even then devices couldn’t connect. I thought maybe the extender was too far but that wasn’t the case. I ended up discovering the _ext SSID was on for some reason. I guess the device reset network settings based on something I did or potentially based on an automated update, so I had to login to the router to figure out the extender IP address, then login to the extender and reconfigure network settings. Seems to be working fine now for a couple days. Probably the nature of the beast, but after paying so much I expected less struggling.
