Customer Reviews
Update 7/23/22: It seems with Version 2.0R the wifi radios have decreased in performance over time. I bought this router in June 2020 and as of October 2021 I started to notice freezing/hiccups when streaming live TV. It still does well when streaming from Plex, Youtube and Netflix services, but when I stream from Pluto TV, the freezing and hesitation show up. I still like it's stability and ability to hang onto an IP address with Spectrum. Having my IP address stay the same without having to sign up for Spectrum's Business Class Internet is a plus (there are some of us that need a static IP address). So it remains my main router with the wifi turned off for that reason and I've resorted to having a Broadcom-based router from TP-Link handle all of my wifi traffic.My version 1.0R router hasn't shown signs of a decrease in wifi performance, however, some newer devices don't play well with it and drop their connections. At this point I'm keeping both routers so I have a spare if one goes down as you can clone the MAC address of 1 router to the 2nd router, swap them and keep your public IP address with these when you are a Spectrum customer.Update 1/25/22: The issue with Version 1.0R (CPU usage spikes and some devices disconnecting) was resolved. Appears to have been the channel that was being used. I switched channels and don't see that issue occurring anymore.Update 12/11/21: Version 2.0R does really well on firmware version 2.05. I've not had time to try any of the newer firmware versions yet. It's stable and handles heavy network loads really well. For Version 1.0R I've identified what looks like a bug with firmware version 1.06b01 where I've seen CPU usage spike up to the 60% range as well as older WIFI AC devices randomly disconnect and have difficulty reconnecting. Also data usage is artificially high under the Streamboost data usage screen. Rolling back to firmware version 1.05b01 solved the problem and it is now as stable as Version 2.0R that I have. I can't say if the bug is specific to the router that I have but thought I'd mention this for anyone experiencing the same issue.Update 11/11/21: I like this router so much that I found a version 1.0R model and got that too! No problems to date with this router or the version 1.0R. I don't see any difference in speeds between the 2. The main differences are that version 1.0R has a few more QoS settings, says Streamboost, has an additional USB port along with switches to turn on/off lights and wifi. To me you can't go wrong with either model.I originally ordered this wifi router thinking I'd get version 1 (the one with the 2 USB ports and Streamboost) and found out I received version 2. With all the reviews stating problems with Version 1, I think getting Version 2 was a blessing. It's been running for the past year without any problems. One feature I think is important is the ability to adjust the Tx power. If you live in a high rise and have many neighbors running wifi networks, then that feature can be important. Also, from a security perspective, the ability to turn down the Tx power becomes important because ideally you won't want too many people outside of your apartment to be able to pick up your wifi signal (and possibly try to hack into your network). If I had to, I'd purchase this wifi router again (with Trendnet's 831DR being a 2nd choice). It's gotten me through working from home, as well as streaming many hours of 720p, 1080p and 4K video content. One thing I've noticed is my work computer that has VPN software on it can experience slowdowns over the VPN connection after about 50-60 days. That device never actually drops its wifi connection though. I reboot this router once a month and problem solved! None of my other devices (phones, tablets and laptops) experience drops in their wifi connections either or slowdowns. I recommend version 2 and have had good experience with Trendnet (having another piece of networking equipment from them which was bought in 2007 and still working). Put this on a UPS so it has a stable power source. Looking forward to what Trendnet releases in the wifi6 and wifi6e arena!
