Review: Fantastic unit. I got it as a deal on Amazon. Very competitive price. The unit is perhaps a bit of an eyesore, at least for my wife :), but the performance is outstanding. I upgraded to a gigabit internet, and my ISP router was not up to the job of transmitting these sort of speeds as it is a wifi 5 device. However, because it comes with an integrated phone service, it must be connected. So I got the Archer unit and basically use it a wifi access point. You basically select a mode of operation as access point. You then loose some functionality, like protection, etc., but this is still provided by the ISP router. So all is good. It works really well. Much better signal and stability when compared with the ISP router. I have a big house, but absolutely no problem of getting decent speeds at the very far corner of the house. I get wifi speeds up to the full speed, around 930 Mbps, in the room adjacent to the router. In the farthest corner of the house I still get around 200 Mbps download. Never had performance like this with the ISP router which had to work with two extension discs... Highly recommended. As regards the safety feature that some people complain about, you can still disable internet for selected clients based on a schedule. But, this is restricted to the time on and time off. Still, probably ok for the majority of users.
