Don't run, good wifi 6 system!

I bought this to use my full internet connection. I get 460 Mbps next to the router, which I'm pretty damn happy with. I read the reviews after I ordered and thought I'd just send it back as so many people had issues. However, my setup was easy (albeit tedious) and the speed is great. In addition, I get excellent coverage in my two-story 3,300 mΒ² office. Feet for only 2 knots. I don't know what everyone is complaining about. These things are great! If you want to know more, read on. I pay and get 500/500 fiber internet when connected to a modem. Using my Linksys Velop Wifi 5 Mesh system (3 nodes), I got a top speed of 200Mbps while standing next to a WiFi router. I've also experienced dead zones around the house. Stubborn, where even if the node showing 200Mbps was in the next room, I still had problems. The bottom line is I can't manage two fantasy football teams and advise my wife on her team while I'm online if there's no wifi in my bathroom! So this system turned out to be "used in good condition" at a reasonable price and I decided to give it a try. I mean, I don't care if my Wi-Fi routers have more than 1 inch of cosmetic damage. Setup was a bit slow but basic. The biggest problem was that I didn't understand the difference between a router and a satellite. Connect the 2 Ethernet ports to your modem. The only Ethernet port is satellite. The updates took a while, but everything is good. Tested at home, now I get 460 next to the router, which is perfectly acceptable to me. This is on an iPhone 11 Pro with a Wi-Fi 6 card, by the way, be sure to test something with Wi-Fi 6 enabled. The system only has two noses, and in the furthest corners of the house I get 170 Mbit/s in the worst case. So this is a great buy. I think other users are just doing it wrong. I don't know, but don't give up a good system at a good price. I strongly recommend buying such a used product.
