Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

No connection issues or having to reboot either. Comes in handy to switch on when using public wifi. First router we have had that can pass a full 250 mbps through the 5 ghz wireless connection as well as the ethernet ports.



Cons

Downgrading to 1-star after 9 months. Back to my 15 yr old belkin - at least it's reliable. This thing is a peice of junk!

Company is no longer supporting/updating the firmware so don't expect to ever see a fix for it. No way to terminate ongoing connections (such as to a vpn or game server) without cycling the router. Doing a factory reset on it will sometimes get functi...  Read More

I purchased this product to replace an older medialink wireless router that i got a lot of use out of


Prior to converting to a medialink fanboy i used linksys exclusively but i found that it wasnt reliable


Only complaints are lack of mimo and dfs channels on 5ghz but those features would mean a higher price point

    Some of us are not comfortable with a wireless signal being broadcast given how certain people like to steal it and for the purposes they do


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I find that this router stacks up rather well however it causes massive frustration whenever power cuts off


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I find that this router frequently needs at least an hour of work trying to 34clone the mac address34 and this is frankly unacceptable


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I can ultimately get to the right answer to resolve but it does involve power booting the router resetting it cloning a mac address since it is incapable of synchronizing time on its own

    When i have reached out to customer support they always get to the right answer but it does take a rather cumbersome amount of trial and error to resolve most issues

    Its fast but if the power goes out or if it goes out you have to go through the whole setup process again


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    And its not easy to setup


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I had horrible connectivitybandwidth on the bottom half of my home
