Range just ok
on October 2, 2022
Posted by: Rob
Set up was pretty straight forward. The range is not as good as I expected. We live in a ranch style house, that is 1500 sq ft. We moved the router to as close to center as possible, although still a good 40 ft to the other end of the house. The signal is not strong enough to reach the far end of the house without a booster. Otherwise, pretty satisfied.

The router doesn’t start and gets stuck in a boot loop. Even after trying all trouble shooting steps trouble persists.

Router was easy to install. Even downloading the app and installing the system was user friendly and very easy. Love all the added features of the app as well.
I bought this router to replace an older Router Modem combo. The setup was very easy and simple, the router itself is very sleek looking, packaging was nice and easy to open. Originally, I was skeptical of it helping with the bandwidth and speed, but I was very impressed with it! It has definitely helped with bandwidth and better speeds on all of our devices in the house. The Wi-Fi signal is also much, much better, a complete night and day difference. I honestly can't say enough good things about my experience with this router. My only regret is that I didn't buy one sooner! 10/10 would buy another one, or recommend to friends or family.
