Fast router, and ready for the future with WiFi 6

Fast with many streams
Easy to install
App Control
Max 2 Gigabit wan and lan

Just bought this router, the installation was easy with the app. Although you can set more settings in the router's menu by logging in from a PC. Selected this router to improve the wifi of the Kpn experiabox, that was successful with the AX8. High end AC routers are about the same price and don't support AX wifi 6 networks, so this seemed like a good choice. I have no experience with high-end routers, but the range of this one is about 25 meters through an outer wall, a fence and a stone garden wall. With 1 bar of range I still have a 40mbit connection from the 100mbit internet. The WiFi of the experiabox was already out of range at a distance of 10 meters. Don't have AX devices yet, but this router can also handle more connections with older AC equipment than a router without AX. What I've read about it on the internet is not so much the speed of the connection, but the amount of devices you can connect to it without it becoming slow. There is a fan on the router that only turned on at the 1st startup, it also stays off for me, but when the weather is warm and the router is maxed out, it could turn on. The network ports are 1 Gigabit but can also be combined for 2 Gigabit connections, which seems to me to be fast enough for internet connections for the time being. I think it is a very good device, highly recommended.

Ideal purchase to keep up with WiFi 6

Beautiful design
Very fast
User friendly
Not the smallest

Ideal router, intuitive to set up (you don't have to use the app, I wouldn't recommend it either). The advanced options give a lot of flexibility (signal strength etc.) but I miss the possibility to set up a VPN client on the router itself (so that not every device has to connect to the VPN separately) as well as the fact that the firmware does not support exFAT, which makes the USB ports unusable for network storage (NTFS is supported but not supported by default on macOS/Linux).

To date, there is no DD-WRT (or open-wrt and the like) to solve these problems or to access the router itself with SSH.
