Powerful Triple Band Router: Effortless Internet Speeds

After testing this router, I was blown away by its lightning-fast internet speeds. My home computers now receive seamless connectivity and the setup process was effortless. The triple band frequency means that I can seamlessly connect multiple devices without any lags. Even the pre-installed software is convenient and user-friendly. The only downside is the device's rather high price. However, the exceptional performance makes it worth the investment. I would highly recommend this router to…

Pros
  • Offers high network speeds with tri-band and dual 867Mbps channels
Cons
  • Compatibility limited to pre-installed supported networking products

Exactly what I needed

A third will be added over time but two will give pretty good coverage for a medium sized house. Look, if you can't stand the Big Name Intelligent Systems User Agreement, don't. It will most likely give you the same experience minus the privacy invasion 😀

Pros
  • OPEN SOURCE PROGRAMMABLE
Cons
  • Don't really like it, it's ok

A little bit more than I expected

An excellent repeater for low power devices that clearly don't have exceptional transmission capabilities like some IoT devices and some less powerful adapters. The powerful web interface was a bit difficult to find, but I remember connecting via Ethernet to the LAN port at 192.168.8.1. Good stuff.

Pros
  • EASY SETUP
Cons
  • Somewhat maintainable
