Our verdict

A basic dual-band router on the newer wireless standard, for a small home or apartment with a modest number of devices. It is a router only, so it needs a modem, and coverage is limited.

Overview

Two internal antennas and a dual-band radio spread the signal inside a small home, and four gigabit ports handle wired devices. Setup runs through an app or a push button, and the box has an Ethernet cable and power adapter.

The newer wireless standard and WPA3 security bring a basic upgrade over older routers at an entry level. It handles a limited number of devices and covers a small area, so busy or large homes will outgrow it.

Who it's for

A household replacing an old router in a compact space, with a modem already in place. Free expert help is part of the title. Gamers or heavy streamers on a fast plan should look at a tri-band or multi-gig model.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Wi-Fi 6 support
  • Four gigabit ports
  • Simple app and button setup
  • Cable and adapter included
Cons
  • Router only, no modem
  • Limited coverage area
  • Internal antennas only
  • Device count is modest

Performance notes

Real speeds depend on distance, walls and the devices connecting, since the headline rate is a combined figure for the radios. The newer standard improves efficiency when several devices share the channel. Wired devices on the gigabit ports are limited by the port rate, not the wireless figure.
