Competitiveness
This one is a lot faster and really easier to setup the only thing is that it is not eero mesh compatible but i think that is t... Read More

I purchased three rockers none of them work although i had not taken the third one out of the box but the first two will not work and every one that has bought this unit from amazon says the same thing it will not get the internet id be foolish to think that any different considering i bought three of them surely amazon can give me some of my money back its only right
