Sure the wifi speeds are great. But what use are good wifi speeds when the router can't even assign IP addresses to devices on the network. Have fun resetting the router every 2 days because your computer or your phone will say it's connected but have no internet access. I pay $140+ and don't even get basic router functionality. What a rip off. Sure the wifi speeds are great. But what use are good wifi speeds when the router can't even assign IP addresses to devices on the network.

Ended going back to my ISP router as signal range and stability were poor. Throughput was also slow. Tried various configurations without success. Ended going back to my ISP router as signal range and stability were poor. Throughput was also slow. Tried various configurations without success.

I don't know why it took me so long to upgrade from my service providers standard router. Great for my smart home. Over 23 devices connected connects to all 2.5 and 5gh compatible devices with ease. faster speeds than I have ever had before. Great quality and looks the part too.

Good upgrade from the standard ISP router. Range is greatly improved. Good upgrade from the standard ISP router. Range is greatly improved.

Easy set up but continually drops wifi this isn't what I paid for, have gone back to my old router and will be returning this piece of junk. Easy set up but continually drops wifi this isn't what I paid for, have gone back to my old router and will be returning this piece of junk.

At first we didn't notice much difference from our earlier basic router, until I had a download hit about four times faster than I'd seen before (even over the wired gigabit). It doesn't have spectacular range before you start to see the 5GHz signal drop-off, but even in a pretty large house usability hasn't been a problem. Only possible downside is that you cannot manually choose whether to use the short-range but fast 5GHz or the longer-range but slower 2.4GHz bands; it treats them both the same. It was worth the upgrade from a stock ISP-supplied router.

One of the cheaper routers I could find but still does a great job. Leigh at the Hamilton store was super helpful and had great advice.
The standard ISP router was way too slow/old and we were not getting the fibre speeds we pay for. Since upgrading our router the wifi speed is now 10x faster.
Easy to set up with the app and QR code apart from some slight user error on my behalf.
Good reliable connection and we can now have multiple devices streaming and people WFH with no issues. One of the cheaper routers I could find but still does a great job. Leigh at the Hamilton store was super helpful and had great advice.

Pros : one of the easiest modem to set up on fibre got good deal from BP tech
Cons : connection keep dropping on all wifi devices. The wifi stay connected but no internet. keep having to reconnect or restart the modem. Called Dlink help line many times who was very helpful and flashed the Bios but at the end they arranged for a refund. I had to go back to my old Asus modem.

No issues, fast and reliable. No issues, fast and reliable.

Quick and easy to set up - handy mobile app too.
Have had to set up an automatic reboot (super easy to setup via the web browser) as it wasn't handing out IP addresses correctly for some reason - since I've set up the reboots, I haven't had any further issues.
I'd definitely recommend - great signal range and speeds as advertised with a large range of devices. Quick and easy to set up - handy mobile app too.

A great router. Much superior to the ISP supplied one. I now get the speeds I pay for.
Simple to set up the router, just plug it in and select your ISP. All done.
Wifi just needed to add in passwords and name for users.

The downside is that the built in VPN only works internally not with a paid VPN to cover all devices like a smart TV. I had to get professional help to sort that and the Firewall setup.
