Review: Fast router and easy setup - Ordered this as a refurbished product and was skeptical if everything would work out. Turns out, router arrived timely and in good condition; setup was unexpectedly simple and efficient, almost enjoyable. Connected devices are now limited by their ‘speed limit’, very fast and no dead zones in my house on both floors. Pricey but definitely recommend it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy fast wireless
*by K***N on September 28, 2025*

Easy setup. Good range in a large house. Devices are quick on Internet, running 2g fiber, and I get good coverage on multiple devices with no issues. Not sure about the armor yet. It seems to slow things down when connecting and I had to delete it from my PC due to blocking common websites. 404 errors. It seems fine on the router. I am happy so far.
