I’m very impressed with the design, the range, the software controls, and the interface. I have owned dozens of home routers in the past. This little travel-size has outperformed them all.
Getting started - so easy! Just plug it in, find the WiFi, and give it WAN access. I chose to use the wired connection to my modem so I was literally connected to the internet in 2 minutes. If I want to use it as a gateway and repeater, it’s so easy to pickup the hotel WiFi and I don’t have to setup a new internet connection on each of my devices individually.
Next, I loaded my VPN provider (you can choose from a dozen or more brands) and gave it my login. And all my devices now appear to be getting an internet connection from my home country. I travel the globe year-round so this allows me to appear online as if I am in my home market for movies, banking, and search results. And everything I transmit is securely encrypted and firewalled.
Range & speed - across the room, I get 300mb and with Wireguard turned ON, that drops to 125mb. Very acceptable! Three stories above the router, I still get a very solid connection on the 2.4 wireless (5g drops to an unreliable 1-bar).
Navigation- the software is very smartly designed for both streamlined convenience and super-capable functionality. There is mobile app for key features, a more robust web app, and a full-featured downloadable UI for programming custom routing, rules, exclusions, etc.. It has an impressive number of features.
