I am very pleased with this router, very very pleased actually. Range is excellent, it covers the whole house. Although placed in the 2nd floor back bedroom, the routers 2.5 and 5ghz both reached the basement front of the house easily connecting to a security camera. I have had no issues with drops, wifi has been very stable. It is def faster than the AX1800 and does not get hot like the ax1800 router.
This is a really good router with many of the same specs and features as the AX5400. I just need the money currently and I still have my internet providers router I can use in place of... If they don't shut me off!
