Overview
A small apartment or a family home with a few devices streaming at once is where this dual band router fits. It runs both bands at the same time, steers heavy video traffic to the faster band, and filters unsafe sites through Norton parental controls.
Two simultaneous bands and built-in parental control cover a family's basic needs with easy browser setup. The older wireless standard caps speeds, so homes on gigabit plans will not see full speed over Wi-Fi.
Who it's for
Apartments, small homes and families on basic broadband get two bands and content filtering. Large houses or gigabit plans need a newer, faster router.
Pros and cons
- Simultaneous dual band
- Norton parental control included
- Browser based setup
- Ethernet cable in the box
- Older wireless standard
- Box list still mentions a Resource CD
- Port speed not clearly listed
- No modem built in
Performance notes
Throughput depends on which band a device joins: the higher band is faster but shorter range, while the lower band reaches further through walls. MultiBeam antennas aim to cut dead spots, but walls and distance still decide real speeds. Wired port speeds are not clearly listed.
