Easy to set up, strong solid build. Noticeable good range increase from the ISP provided router. The APP is really handy and makes sharing the WIFI to others a breeze. The antennas are foldable making it easy to transport. It is quite large which is worth noting. Web interface is nice and intuitive.

I did have an issue getting connected to my UFB after rebooting the router once time, the IP address wasn’t populating. The issue was due to the routers DNS conflicting with the ONT box. Changed The routers DNS from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.2.1 and this resolved the issue.

Overall a great router and would highly recommend to anyone with a bit of IT knowledge. I wouldn’t expect my mum to be able to set this up out of the box though so some experience I’d recommended.

Pros: Excellent strength Wifi (we have a large house and coverage is good throughout), fast Wifi speed, great selection of ports even though we only use 1 usb3

Cons: Can be hard to setup with ISP fibre (took us a couple of days to get working - tech support from the fibre had no clue) - we ended up googling an obscure reference from the quick start quide, router is physically very large Pros: Excellent strength Wifi (we have a large house and coverage is good throughout), fast Wifi speed, great selection of ports even though we only use 1 usb3

So far so good, much better range than isp supplied router So far so good, much better range than isp supplied router

I got this router because of 2 reason, First I want to use WIFI 6 and second I have gigabit fibre. It does a great job on both aspect. Solid performance and solid connection over Wifi 6.

Major upgrade from the router supplied from isp, actually getting my 900mb download.

Easy to set up and update/amend settings. Great signal throughout large house, which needed boosters previously to get any signal at all. Easy to set up and update/amend settings. Great signal throughout large house, which needed boosters previously to get any signal at all.

Would be a great router if it was cheaper as anything would be.
Wifi signal strength is excellent on both bands. Noticeable difference from standard isp routers concerning wifi range.
Plenty of security options built in which is a plus.
Mac address filtering is available. Also the ability to name devices is another plus.
Auto detecting devices within range is a great feature.

It looks really good too, something from a sci-fi movie. But it is big. Twice the size of other standard routers.

Comes with a cat5e cable which is fine at 1gb data rate since NZ doesn't have plans any higher than 950/450 that I am aware of but could use a fast...view more Would be a great router if it was cheaper as anything would be.

Comes with a cat5e cable which is fine at 1gb data rate since NZ doesn't have plans any higher than 950/450 that I am aware of but could use a faster cable for future proofing.

Overall: Situational router at best, as advertised. For large families or businesses. However, you will be limited by your internet speed as that is an isp thing.

Minus 1 star for price. Only because you are paying for a wifi range boost when instead you could pay for wifi extenders as a much cheaper alternative.

This is a large router, it has plenty of connection ports ( although one row is a little difficult to remove the cables from ) Set up was easy enough, and the app for the smartphone or PC is very good. Certainly worth considering this if your're looking to upgrade to WiFi 6.

After a few hiccups getting the router to speak to Spark's fibre connection (not the router's fault; Spark requires a username and password for PPPoE, which is "user@spark.co.nz" and "password" for everybody!), I've been loving the speed, reliability and range of this excellent router. We've had about 7 or 8 devices connected concurrently, and everyone is really happy, with no-one hogging bandwidth. I'd recommend this router for sure!
