Despite mixed reviews, I decided to purchase this router. At first, it was great. Setup was easy and the interface is well-designed. I get great coverage across my 1500 sqft townhome, and it can keep up with my 300 mbps Internet speed over the 5GHz band.

This router won't current work with Sky fibre due to the inability to pass the username and password to the modem. This is being worked on however.

Would've been a five star review if it was not for problems with the USB storage device. I tried to Western Digital external USB hard drives that were listed on the compatibility list and neither were detected.

Amazing router. Very easy to use and the SRM software to control this router is the best I have ever used. Also bought the AC 2600

Worth it with 1.1 OS beta, Added some cool new stuff. I might pick up one more and connect a remote site. Will be testing the 3g backup as soon as telus sends me the device.

Great little router out of the box, I have been using it for 4 months; Had some problems getting some devices to connect to the 5 spectrum; Looks like the Beta for 1.1 fixes it; The OS has lots of promise so looking forward to that.

No 3rd Party project like a typical NAS; that should come soon

I bought this router a few months ago partially based on this review and have regretted it ever since.
