What customers say
Customers highly value the raw performance of this integrated modem and Wi-Fi 6 router, praising its ability to deliver exceptional gigabit speeds via DOCSIS 3.1. The convenience of an all-in-one unit is a major draw for those prioritizing simplicity and high throughput. However, the device faces significant criticism regarding its value proposition and usability. Many users report a frustrating initial setup process requiring ISP coordination. Furthermore, power users often find the integrated router's Wi-Fi range and customization options insufficient compared to dedicated systems. The premium price point exacerbates these concerns, leading some to question the overall return on investment when faced with minor stability issues.
