Have everything related to your router. User friendly app.
Excellent
Amazing service. Love it all
I can't use it.
Works great! I live in a 1900 sq ft 2 story house and have wifi throughout with little to no connection issues. I also like having the extra ethernet ports for wired devices. Another cool feature is the app. I like being in control of all devices, can turn off wifi or enet ports to any device that's connected, helps...
Just the ticket works great
