Do not buy this router

I brought this router because I had previously owned a lesser model, on the lesser model it promised pretty much all the features of this one but the CPU etc wasn't as good,

After upgrading I was horribly suprised to find all the standard features of the past router had been hidden behind subscription, even the important ones like parental controls and builtin web shield is now an extra paid subscription for each item, to completely unlock the routers features I would have to pay an extra $150+ in annual fees

Great router

Had an issue setting up with skinny, but once I found out how to input username and password, it's been outstanding.
