wireless speed suddenly seems to compete with wired.

• Connectivity
• In AP mode, the wired ports don't seem to work simply as a hub or switch.

bad bargain

• When it works the speed is excellent
• This router is so unstable with the current firmware that you no longer have WiFi on average 2 to 3 times a day and you have to reboot. This reboot takes a very long time (4 minutes)

Beautiful, high-quality and very user-friendly product!

• Super easy to install via the Netgear App, you don't have to read anything
• Nice modern and 'space' design, not ugly to have in sight compared to other routers
• No technical knowledge required for installation.

Long searched for a suitable Wifi6 router. Ultimately opted for this 'middle class'. After unpacking, the device was super easy to install via the Netgear App. You don't have to read, configure or figure anything out. The app walks you through it step by step and the process is super simple. Even without technical knowledge this should be easy. The connection is super stable and fast. The range is also very good.

wireless speed suddenly seems to compete with wired.

• Connectivity
• In AP mode, the wired ports don't seem to work simply as a hub or switch.

The wireless speed is higher than with my old router, my old tablet suddenly seems a lot easier to connect and therefore functions less slowly.
It's a bit of a shame that the Android app doesn't seem to do anything in a privacy-friendly Android environment without Google play services.
