Purchased this monster of a router last year through {url removed} with DD-WRT firmware and built in NordVPN capacity for $615 plus tax. It was used for a total of 9 days before we decided to move to an enterprise level Eero mesh system. This monster of a router is insanely fast for gaming in 4K and basically running everything at once through North State internet or the like. Only problem was that we now have a large square footage home and WiFi did not reach various areas. I tweaked settings in DD-WRT and, while it helped, it still didn’t cover the entire home. Our home is almost 6,000 sq ft plus a large unfinished area and a large patio out back. Eero enterprise level set up got the job done. But if I was still living in my previous 1,100 sq ft apartment, or a smaller house, I would have kept this router without a doubt. It’s amazing.
