After owning my nighthawk router for years, I decided to finally pull the plug and get a decent router that was not going to fail us miserably. Right off the bat, I noticed that the router wasn't bulky (a major plus) and it included a short ethernet cable to set it with my modem. The instructions were clear, concise and I was able to get it up and running within 5-10 minutes. Upon usage, I can definitely say that this router is reliable in terms of connectivity and pretty fast.
Features:
The router I purchased has four ethernet ports, one USB 3.0 port, fast wireless connectivity, and even a dedicated app which lets you customize settings to optimize performance for work, gaming, and even casual use. Within the app, you are also able to turn off the LED lights and change the Aura RGB on the router. Not to mention, it also has a security feature to protect against malicious attacks.
Performance:
The performance on this router is impressive; A major upgrade from what I had before. We tested its performance using various devices, including PCs, laptops, smart TVs, Gaming Consoles and it delivered a fast and reliable connection.
UE:
The router is easy to set up and use. Once everything is set up, you can use the mobile app-based to manage various settings, including parental controls and QoS optimization. Although, I would say that mobile app design can be a little confusing for those who are locating specific features since some just show icons with no text. Nonetheless, after messing with the app, you will be fine.
Conclusion:
I can definitely say that this router has impressed me, especially for the price. It's a great choice for people who want something simple yet reliable. Although the UI may throw some people off, this router is a great option for those who value performance and reliability. As time goes by, I can definitely keep this updated.

Great for gamers!
It's been 1 month+ since I've gotten this used gaming router, it was pretty much brand new for $120* instead of $200+. I had spectrum internet with 300MBps, it was more stable or would get more speeds. So far im loving it and I just switched to 1GIG fiber internet as well. with wifi I get between 600-700mbps download/upload. With direct ethernet connection I get 800+Mbps download/upload. I have a lot of devices connected and no issues what so ever. The rgb can be customized and can go with your gaming room/ pc setup. The app may seem confusing at first but it's easy to maneuver through once you get the hang of it. I'm glad I got this over the nighthawk.
