Revainrating 4 out of 5

DO NOT USE WITH ANY CHARGER OR POWER BANK THAT SUPPORT FAST CHARGING

Bought 10 days ago. Updated the firmware to the latest version. The Lucy interface response is quite slow, possibly due to the processor's limited processing power. In general, the router works. There can be 5 stars for the software/firmware function. However, the hardware side of the product has not been fully tested. Please note that it is not compatible with chargers or power banks that support USB A fast charging. I learned this the hard way after using a fast charge compatible charger to power my router. It was fried for about 10 minutes. After that I tested the router on a PC. This caused a power surge and almost damaged the USB port on the PC. The manufacturer must clearly state in the instructions that you are not connecting the router to a charger or power supply that supports fast charging via the USB-A port.
