Big; there is indeed a downside. Still recommended

I like the 4x4 Ax AP. However, it failed the listening test (packet diversity) on Suricata (router, Netgate) with its fancy DNS queries, which are spoofed and used to provide other services besides the standard DNS. It took about a month for tech support to confirm that tagged traffic is what it is (not DNS, but uses "DNS" for other functions). I like the lack of control over what I've paid for. I have other EnGenius APs like EnStation and ENS1750. I'm lagging behind the EnGenius software in some ways. It would be nice to use a switch or setting in the GUI software so I can control everything. Must love the constantly imposed "convenientโ€ IoT or "cloudโ€ services. Otherwise the hotspot works great. Another reviewer mentioned one thing: it would be a good idea to turn off the LED indicators for the Ethernet activity ports. Connecting at 1.2Gbps to AX200 wireless network adapters is no problem. Very low performance loss of 1 Gig LAN base-t compared to wireless cards and hotspots some distance away.

Pros
  • Complete set
Cons
  • Not sure
