I don’t have any personal experience in using it but the reviews seem positive overall. The only complaints I have seen are that some advanced options are disabled. I am planning to buy a couple for my parents house to use as a Mesh since it’s selling for c. 2500 in the UK

Thanks. Read the same things what you have mentioned. Only concern is most of the telcos are replacing Huawei equipment due to its link with CCP. Though i may not be a VIP , but need to be careful about its phone home service.

If you get it, update the thread about your experience.

Uk model is quad core. This one is dual core. Are you sure mesh gonna work on this too?

It supports 160Mhz channel width. So it also supports 2400 Mbps wifi speeds on 5Ghz when paired with laptop having Intel AX200/210. It’s the cheapest router to do so.

Any iperf tests? Read that its unstable somewhere.

As per product page , yes mesh is supported on dual-core model. Quad-core has NFC. UK has both models

I have the quad core model, laptop with ax200 can max out up and down gigabit link if i am in the same room
did not do any major testing but coverage seems to be better than my previous Linksys ea8100 using a wifi 6 capable handset
