It was a reasonable purchase, I will order more.

I took this minibus to set up a reliable and stable home network from a smart TV set powered by 5GHz Internet over the air, 2 laptops, 2 smart phones, 2 printers and a tablet. Turning on the router and going into the web face, I began to understand what winbox is and why it is needed. Setting up from a web muzzle is that fun with a constant login. Even being an experienced user is not far from the network, settings, etc. stunned and felt like a helpless child. Giant functionality is good, but there are solutions that are no less reliable and easy to configure the main tasks, for example Keenetik Extra, which I bought to replace this router after I handed it over. If you are not an advanced IT specialist or a system administrator, do not take this minibus. Get simpler housewife solutions from trusted brands. It is simply impossible to raise a DLNA server on this router without a device supporter. The forums are full of options: buy a cheap d-link to it specifically for DLNA, select a virtual router and install OpenWRT with DLNA there and much more, but my opinion is that if you take a router for home, everything should be there at once and it should work from the box. QuickSet definitely should be.

Pros

1. Reliable pre-top brand 2. Does not cut speed on cable and wafer at all 3. Giant customization options (this is also a minus, see comment) 4. Minimalistic design without show-off 5. Internal antennas are very powerful 6. Universal USB 2.0 port for everything at once

Cons

1. The minibus box is extremely flimsy 2. Samba only with dancing with a tambourine, ftp is easier 3. No DLNA and raising it is an extremely non-trivial task, by completing which you will get who knows what, and not a good result 4. Giant customization options (see comment)
