Highlights
Quality
Otherwise it was a very good buy and i am happy with it
Best thing about this is it works with the horrible att provided modems and tech support will help you set it up
4ghz band dropped bandwidth significantly and the 5ghz still worked pretty good
Initially i was a little agitated with the purchase price like a typical dad but 6 years later i got bang for the buck
Price
The price was steep but i am glad i spent a little more on it
Competitiveness
If you install asuswrt merlin or johns fork you can get a lot more life out of these routers
I would say look at the asus rtac86u for the current midtier priced or the asus rtac68u for the lowtier price
