Worth every penny - networking products

We have wired internet and the connection that comes into the house has always been stable and strong. After 2 years of renting a Wi-Fi router and one purchased from Netgear, we have been experiencing constant speed issues and random disconnects. We decided to give it a try and have not refused service again. In addition, the speed on many of our devices has become much faster! We are a technologically heavy house. This one is definitely worth it!

Pros
  • Quality workmanship
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Works GREAT in my 2 story house 3500

HONEST REVIEW. I tested my new router and modem against my old router and modem and that was it. This was due to an Arris Surfboard SB6141 after purchasing the new top cable modem Motorola MB8611 DOCSIS 3.1 with 2.5G Ethernet and ARRIS SURFboard mAX WiFi 6. Tri-Band Mesh AX6600. Works reliably! No crashes or connection problems since installation!

Pros
  • Great for a small house
Cons
  • Might screw up

Restricted configuration

You need a telephone to set up and manage your router. You cannot set it up with your PC. There is a limited list of time zones to use. If you want to use another country's time zone, you can't. You cannot turn off the LED backlight. The hardware configuration is very limited. Some older products failed to connect to the Wi-Fi network (like my Google Nest hub and my Orbit B-Hyve Irrigation Controller). The Wi-Fi network speed is very high when using Wi-Fi 6 devices. I am not satisfied with my…

  • Robust version
Cons
  • If in doubt

Very fast and no dead zones in my house.

Internet at full speed in every part of the house. Originally bought an instant amp unit and it was junk in most homes - the grille features were really lacking. I would give it 5 stars but it was a bit of a hassle to set up, especially when you add a satellite device, had to turn off the network you just created and reset the satellite device settings after getting the "mainap" error. Luckily I'm a techie and still had to spend about 20 minutes to get it working. It was also a special day, so…

Pros
  • Beautiful packaging
Cons
  • Empty

Great product easy install

I just finished my house a little over a month ago. Very easy setup, only about 15 minutes. I must say that it is also a mountain of differences. I've had a lot of connectivity issues with my Netgear Nighthawk router. But not alone with this new equipment. I highly recommend this product. I connected my mesh system using one of the new Arris modems and some new Cat6 cables. The interface is very good, there are no problems with the application on my Android Razer 2 phone. My house consists of…

  • Best

Nice. pathetic purchase.

The application is garbage and the only way to set up a network. None of the devices are connected to the internet for no reason. Update: Apparently my problem is with IOS, I was able to set up Android.super weak sauce. After setting up the satellite router, we can no longer connect to the main SSID, only to the guest network?!?! Yes, I restarted the modem and both routers. 4 times each. Turn off the satellite router and restart the main router. Now we can connect to the main ssid. Reconnect…

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Disappear

Easy setup and great calls over WiFi

I have found that I need better internet at home as all these things work from home. I replaced my Netgear home router, which was about two years old, with a Netgear mesh system including Wi-Fi 6. As the speed of this system increased, I suddenly had dead spots all over the house. After two days of trouble I replaced it with this Arris. Professionally, I know the brand and the company, so I had a high level of trust. And it was repeated. Six Wi-Fi speeds are significantly faster than what I had

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Crumpled

Wifi 6 Mesh is great

I received this router to pair with an Arris SB8200 modem which upgraded my previous Arris modem to a Linksys WiFi 5 router. My old setup can give me around 450Mbps downloads at 5.0GHz. This new setup gives me 533 Mbps when I'm near the unit and about 30 Mbps in front of (outside) my 2500m2. ft. I'm happy with the speeds. I also have many devices, more than the photo I shared. I still have about 10 devices to set up. The above is enough to set this up. I'm not that techie so I slowly figured it

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Out of fashion

Simple Grid: Computers and Accessories

Just finished setting up this morning and so far very happy with the product. Set up was easy, just 2 minor hiccups that were easily fixed. The first problem was the inability of the control application to join the newly created SSID during installation. This is most likely an iPhone security feature that prevents malicious applications from intercepting the SSID. Quitting the app and using the iOS network settings got around the issue. The second problem was that after the mesh setup was…

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Some flaws
