I didn³'t expect the quality to be this good.

As for me, the main issue for this model is 100 megabits per input. In the presence of gigabit Internet and 6 devices hanging on the router, it is well felt how the potential is leaking through your fingers (especially when torrents are turned on). So if you have a lot of things hanging on the router and the Internet speed is above 100 Mbps, then spend the extra thousand and take something with gigabit ports.

But for closing anomalous pockets, running a cable there and installing a rather fat 5GHz access point for one or two devices is just fine: cheap, reliable and simple.
Well, either you can cover some not very complicated room from a source of slow Internet, or cover a large room with not too fast Internet with a scattering of access points - it will be good, cheap and reliable.

So it's 10 out of 10 as an access point from the main gigabit router and 7-7.5 out of 10 as the main device.

Pros

We immediately write that the review concerns V4, because the revisions are different and this is important. 1) 5 GHz for its price tag is a very good offer. 2) Traditional ease of setup for the company - there are presets for different operators, even the most provincial ones (my version). 3) I would not say that the power of the transmitters is large, but quite sufficient for an apartment of 50 meters, with the exception of one blind corner (where, unfortunately, the computer is standing) with some anomalies in the signal when it disappears or loses stability at will Barabashki. But another far corner of the apartment shows itself perfectly (Domovoy lives there), so you need to take into account the possibility of unpleasant "pockets" for the signal. 4) It works quite stably, I don’t remember any dumps due to the router itself.

Cons

1) 100-megabit ports for such a price tag is the norm, but it is worth remembering this. 2) The sight of a flattened UFO with three antennae is disgusting. 3) There are difficulties with alternative firmware, if they are needed.
