Let me start by saying this router is FAST. Like, 'accidentally-download-a-4K-movie-while-blinking' fast. The Qualcomm SDX62 modem delivers insane 5G speeds that make my old LTE router look like dial-up.
The dual SIM feature saved my work-from-home setup when my primary carrier had an outage. Just popped in my backup SIM and kept streaming Zoom calls without missing a beat. Though fair warning - some AT&T users seem to have issues, so check compatibility first.
Setup was surprisingly painless (unlike some other 5G routers I've tried). The web interface isn't winning any design awards, but it gets the job done. Pro tip: Don't enable HTTPS management unless you enjoy factory resets - learned that the hard way.
The detachable antennas look like something from a sci-fi movie, but they actually work. I get solid WiFi coverage throughout my three-story townhouse, even in the basement where my old router struggled.
My only gripe? The VPN setup could be more user-friendly. It took me three YouTube tutorials and some trial-and-error to get WireGuard working properly. But once configured, it's been rock solid for remote work.
Would I buy it again? Absolutely - despite its quirks, nothing else in this price range comes close to its performance when it works right.
