If it was available a few weeks ago, would have bought it. Bought a glowing egg instead. I've got more than 10 sites setup for my homes and they all just work. I'm willing to bet those that have constant issues either don't set them up properly, or are doing super weird configurations. They are consumer grade routers. You need a pfsense box or something if you want real firewall and routing capabilities.

Treat them as such, and be happy. If you want to use every feature they claim to have, you're going to have a bad time. The value is in the aesthetics of a good wireless access point and wired switch with remote access and management. That's it.
