Being able to set up each band separately, or combining, so that the router can determine the best connection is a great feature. Being able to find settings quickly and easily compared to another brand I was using previously was a huge bonus. My previous router was touted to reach the entire 2000+ square feet of house, but didn’t, I had to add a COVR mesh to get to the far side of the house. This router reaches the entire house with full signal, through walls and all.

Overall okay, some things are off..
This router has good Wi-Fi performance. The 5GPPS port does give you the full speed granted your Internet provider provides that speed. The LED is customizable and uses minimum power. It gives off a little bit of heat. I only give it a four out of five stars because some things are not very accurate such as the traffic meter. It differs from what the website interface says versus the app. For example, if I the app says I use 10 GB of data, sometimes on the web interface it will say I use less than that for the same day, sometimes more. Also, it gives a time of approximately how much data is used by the device throughout the day, that is not very accurate either on the app or web interface. If they could adjust it so it’s accurate I would consider giving this router 5 stars.

An Excellent Router; Highly Configurable
After two months of use, I have come to the conclusion that this is an excellent router.A couple of months ago, I placed the order to upgrade our home internet to AT&T gigabit fiber and knew that I wanted a solid, configurable WIFI router as the only device plugged into the AT&T equipment. This way, I could setup a Raspberry Pi as Pihole to block ads on my entire network and use MAC IDs to allow/deny access to any devices that tried to connect.There are videos on YouTube that review this router and give you a view into the the setup/config screens so, I won’t go into describing all of that. However, I will say that I feel the setup screens are intuitive and even if I did not have 20+ years’ experience in IT (programming, DBA, sys admin, etc.) I believe I could figure out how to make this router fit my needs. Whether you have that kind of background or not, the YouTube videos can be very helpful.Wired ConnectionsThe previous owner of my house had it wired with CAT6 cable (thank you!) and I added a couple of CAT8 cable runs so, I am currently using 6 of this routers’ 8 gigabit ports. Those cables give me wired connections to multiple gigabit switches throughout the house (bedroom, office, man cave, living room, etc.) where I have wired connections to multiple computers or smart TVs or gaming systems, etc.I could bore you with upload/download numbers but, instead, I will just say that everything runs faster or better now than it did before all my upgrades.My smart TV connects to YouTube (Pihole blocks the ads) and videos play smoothly. My PS4 used to take an hour to download free games and now takes a couple of minutes and my Xbox is the same. System patches take a minute to download. Online streaming services run smoothly and I have yet to see any “spinning wheels” as a video buffers in the middle of an action scene.WIFIBefore AT&T fiber, I had an AT&T Airties 4921 WIFI booster that did a great job improving the signal to a “dead spot” in the back of the house. I tried and failed to get the 4921 to work on my new equipment then realized the AX6000 had already solved the dead spot problem. I have WIFI cameras pointing towards the woods behind my house or from the woods back to the house and am getting a strong signal to all devices.The router is capable of WIFI 6 but currently none of our iPhones, iPads, MacBooks or laptops can use it. Nevertheless, I have not noticed any connectivity issues with any of our wireless devices.I do have one wireless, multifunction HP printer that will go to “sleep” after several hours of inactivity and may not wake up when I send a document to it from my smart phone. All I do is punch a button on it, it wakes up, accepts the document and everything is fine. This is probably a setup issue within the printer, and certainly not a WIFI problem, but has not been a big enough hassle for me to worry about it.Network MonitoringOne of the major things I wanted from this router is the ability to easily block devices on my network. I have a teenager who only needs occasional Internet access and I used both of the MAC IDs from their laptop (wired and wireless) to setup a weekly schedule for when it could/could not reach the Internet.I can see all wired/wireless devices on my network in the routers’ Basic or Advanced screens and this allows me to keep an eye on who is in my network.Overall, I have been very pleased with this router and highly recommend it.

Amazing that the 5G band can push as far and as strong as it does as it does! With an Intel AX200 enabled adapter (~65.00 CDN) and this router, I get consistently about 300 Mbps up / 300 Mbps down, where the client is over 40-50 feet through some serious cement, wood and metal. Took some adjusting to get the 5G radio dialed in (I had to lock in the channel and channel width respectively (channel 157/80 MHz ) so as to not limit compatibility and to avoid conflict with my neighbors. That said, this allows me to optimize my fiber optic to the home connection throughout the entire house. All my Wi-fi 6 devices (4 or 5) get excellent speeds – often 600 Mbps bi-directional when closer to the router. (Based on the limits of 80 MHz.) Also, as as of last week, the device fully supports WPA3 with the new 1.1.0 Build 20200427 firmware which is a nice improvement.
