Pros & Cons
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!
