I use it in...:Large home

I replaced my Wndr4500 (N900) router with this one. Where I noticed the difference is when I stream movies from my media server while gaming. Using the N900, my movies would glitch and freeze if someone was gaming at the same time so I had to copy the file to usb and physically move it to watch a move and game. With the x6, I can stream and have multiple gaming systems on without interruptions. My household was able to stream a MKV file, have two PCs playing Titanfall and play COD on XBOX One perfectly. So far I have not experienced and drops or issues. The SMART Connect on the 5ghz channel also works well. Before this purchase I tried the Linksys AC1900, but it was dropping and eventually overheated and shut down. Knowing this is SU-MIMO, my only fear is that I'll want to upgrade to MU-MIMO when it becomes available. I am also interested in seeing how good DD-WRT works on this when it becomes available. I am using this in conjunction with my old N900 as a wireless bridge to connect my systems downstairs (Direct TV movie downloads and guest network). I'm not sure if I really need this setup, but it's cool and I feel better using my N900 since it was such a great router too. It also worked well in cascade mode, but again I really didn't need to. I helped take the load off the main router with my media server plugged into it if you feel like giving the x6 a break. Again, not necessary, just cool.

What's great about it: Fast, able to connect muliple devices without network stutter

What's not so great: Expensive, Not MU-MIMO

I would recommend this to a friend!
