A single router that outperforms a lot of mesh systems in a normal house, with an unusually long firmware support record and a thriving third-party firmware community.
This entry is written from the 3 sources listed at the bottom of the page. The numbers are our editorial estimates drawn from that material, not measurements, and no statistical sample sits behind them.
On the evidence gathered here, yes. 85% of owners say they would buy it again, and satisfaction is still 8.3 out of 10 two years in. Firmware releases were still arriving years into its life.
Flat and quietly excellent. The firmware threads are the tell — a product still getting releases years later is being looked after.
Individual firmware versions occasionally introduce issues. Wi-Fi 6 rather than 6E or 7 dates it for new buyers. Coverage limits in large or awkward homes.
Firmware releases were still arriving years into its life. Sentiment across the ownership period stays close to flat, which is rare: it reads 8.3 out of 10 in the first week and 8.3 two years later.
Worth it for: Normal-sized homes where one good router is enough; People who want control without a subscription; Anyone who values long firmware support. Think twice if: You need coverage across a large or multi-storey home; The appearance matters in a living room; You want the newest Wi-Fi standard.
