## Customer Reviews

### ⭐ Terrible set-up procedure.
            
*by M***R on 12 August 2019*

I am not going to waste your time by giving a long-winded review of this router, but I shall just say this.The router itself seems to do its job very well, but getting it up and running has been a nightmare.  The alarm bells started to ring the moment I unpacked it. The box was all in Chinese as was the user manual. I had downloaded the router app, as recommended on-line, prior to the set-up but this was of no help what so ever as the on-line settings were also all in Chinese. In the end, I spent one hour ten minutes on the phone to my ISP (thank you, Chloe Abbott, at Plusnet) who talked me through the set-up by means of her watching translated set-up guides on YouTube. If it had not been for her the task would have been impossible. So the bottom line is this. The router itself seems to be very good, but the set-up will drive you to want to commit murder.  I have given one star based on those terms.
