    It's been a great router
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2022*

I've been using this router for about 5.5 years now with no issues.Two others I used before this one couldn't get wireless coverage in my back room.  This one gets the signal through 4 walls and 70 feet.The best part is the configuration GUI gives novice techs easy access to advanced configuration settings.  I had some trouble with my VPN when I started working from home, our company network administrator said I needed to change my MTU size?  Don't even know what it was, but he said I probably can't do that with a consumer router.  Well, 5 minutes later, it's fixed and no problems with the VPN dropping.Note, there hasn't been any new products or firmware updates in the past 5 years, so Amped Wireless may be on their way out, sadly. 😟

    Too many bugs, you're better of with a better router.
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2017*

I have an older Amped Wireless access point which I was pretty happy with so when I needed a new router, I decided to give this one a try. My requirements for a router were pretty simple; I have a number of wired and wireless connections at my house that need to be connected and I require the ability to forward some ports to my NAS to enable certain functionality outside the firewall.The initial setup to connect to my model was very simple. The wireless connection worked right of the bat as well. So those are the pros for this router.After setting it up, I tried to connect my switches from my old router to this new one and got nothing. My PC connected to the switch could not even ping the router. They only worked if I connected them directly. This is a simple unmanaged switch and should not be a problem.I also tried to add the port forwarding for my NAS and this did not work. The interface to add port forwarding is there in the setup page, but it simply did not work! If I setup port forwarding to the router itself, I was able to see it from outside the network, but any other IP and I got nothing.I called tech support about these issues. Getting through to voice support took a long time. I called 1st thing in the morning when they open and it took and hour an a half to get someone. At that point I had started talking to someone through the online chat help which had a much faster response. But I chose to continue with the voice call after they finally picked up.So I told them about the problem I was having with the switch. They looked up the model and said it's not on the unsupported list so it should work. So they asked me if plugging a PC in directly works. I said it did, so they decided that the switch was the problem and wanted me to call the switches' manufacturer. Even though the switch worked fine with my other router and is essentially a simple dumb switch as there's no management at all for it.That's when I decided that was enough. I did some research and ordered a Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Lite and UAP-AC-Pro and couldn't be happier with them.

    High power router works well but needs to be  reset every couple of weeks.
  

*by S***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2019*

Purchased because its a higher power router and I need to reach across my yard and throughout the house.  Sufficient power to reach my shop/barn 150 ft from the house.  Good signal strength BUT it goes stupid every couple of weeks and requires a reset.  (Cycle power to reset).  After 3-5 minutes its up and working again.  But very annoying when I'm out of the house and trying to access my smart devices but can't because the router went stupid.  Had an earlier version of this router which never went stupid - just hard failed after 3 years.
