This router is great for people with many devices over WiFi (especially on the 5Ghz bands). With Dual 5Ghz bands running on different channels, your devices can pick the best band (in theory) so you can get twice the throughput on your network (in theory).
I run it against a 1Gbps up/down fiber connection and max out the AC performance ~700Mbps in about 15ft line of site. Works great! The signal strength is very good compared to much cheaper routers.
If you want Youtube videos or run an Xbox on a < 50Mbps internet connection or if you live in a house/apartment < 1200sqft / 110sqm don't bother with this thing. All routers now-a-days can get you 50Mbps to each of your devices without a problem.
Also, this this is absolutely GIGANTIC! It's about as big as a 13" macbook in width and depth.
