I caught wind of this router as a result of the Wirecutter's review and purchased it alongside the Netgear CM500 modem after having used an 8-year-old modem/router combo. I was pulling 12mb/s down, 3mb/s up from RCN without full coverage throughout my apartment and knew I was paying for faster internet than that; with the combo of the CM500 and the AC2300, I'm now pulling 55mb/s down, 10mb/s up with full coverage in my apartment. Love the smart 2.4gHz/5Hz switcher'” I feel like that's helping manage things even further.
I live in an older home with four floors, and the range extends well to the entire home (placed the router on the 2nd floor) as well as the patio area. I especially like that it assigns the band wave (2.4 or 5ghz) based on location.
Setup was very easy with the app, and nicely let's me monitor the network.
One complaint is that when you login to the router page from your browser, the password is displayed to you. I would think that good password security means that the company should hash the passwords and never be able to display them. Potentially this could be a security risk, but I'm no expert.
