Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not at all what I expected.

If you like to tinker with hardware and software, study network technologies, or you need a non-standard configuration on non-standard hardware - you are here. If you need a home router without frills - take something more traditional from Zyxel or ASUS. The quality of the power supplies (according to reports from other acquaintances, I heard that they are covered) - how lucky. If you have an oscilloscope and you know how to use it, then you can check it. It is useless to prove anything to sellers from the category of "works for a day or two - then it fails."

Pros
  • You can customize almost everything. And it will work. Good performance - over any tunnel protocols, any other SOHO router in this price range can do. Powerful Wi-Fi transmitter. It will reach everywhere even in a very large and very reinforced concrete apartment. And if you put external antennas, then even more everywhere and everywhere, at the same time turning the problem of neighboring routers at the same frequencies into a problem of neighbors.
Cons
  • Long loading, no less long reconnect when it breaks. The real Baltic router. So intended. The default settings are very primitive. Finishing for convenient use is simply necessary. ate: defective stock power supply. The worst thing is that it's good enough for the router to boot normally and work for a while. I replaced it with another one, exactly capable of delivering 1 ammer 12 volts - all freezes stopped.
