Review: I bought the 2 pack as I recently upgraded my Virgin Media Broadband from 350mbps to 1gbps, unfortunately Virgin Media have hardware shortages for the hub 5 which comes with a 2.5gb port and wifi 6, instead they sent me a hub 4 that only has a 1gb port and only WiFi 5. I already had 3 eero 2nd edition mesh hubs but when connected together I was lucky to get 250 mbps on wifi connections anywhere in the house, the wifi of the hub 4 was faster and achieved about 500mbps but you had to sit on top of it. So bought these Mercusys mesh hjbs to see if they made a difference, looking at the alternatives out there like tplink etc and they are way cheaper, I paid £119 for the 2 pack. Connected them initially as a hub rather than a router, was getting high 900 mbps from the one connected via the 1gb port and getting around 500 mbps from the other one which connects via 160 Mhz backhaul. I then ran ethernet between the 2 hubs and get high 900 mbps from both hubs, coverage is very good, I live in a 2 floor house and even remote rooms get over 500mbps. I then connected the main hub as a router, this is stable but didn't make any noticble difference in speed, however it allows you to use QOS. Very impressed, only comaint is that I would have liked the option to choose which channel to assign each wifi band to rather.it being automatically optimized as my analyzer is saying the chosen channel has a lot of interference
