Strengths:
It’s a decent router for everyday use. Absolutely fine for anything but gaming.
Weaknesses:
Very poor QoS.
Firmware is buggy and manually adjusting the QoS priority via web interface is completely ignored by the router. The changes never save. I’ve looked up online and apparently there’s various workarounds, such as factory resetting it etc. While that may work, for a $150 dollar router, this is completely unacceptable.
Finally, routers QoS is generally just broken. If I enable it, some devices are dynamically allocated a higher priority but others have virtually no access to network. Even the web interface on the local gateway is completely inaccessible by my laptop after I enable QoS. Again, not sure exactly what’s happening here, but it’s not normal operation for a $150 router.
Finally, if you do run into bufferbloat issues (like I did) this router doesn’t have much in the way of solving them. QoS is broken and it doesn’t support other options like SQM.
Additional Comments:
Okay for typical use, but QoS is completely unusable and there is no alternative in the firmware.
