Constant drops were one thing; I had to restart it at least once a day. But the real kicker was, if I kept diagnostic tools up while gaming, I always got so much packet loss (People may not notice unless they have those tools running, because it doesn't show in your ping). But it wasn't the case with my previous ASUS AC router. (This is with both wired and wireless. There is no reason a router should deliver this much packet loss with a wired connection.)
I really did spend my weeks with this router trying to get it to work. Finding whatever solutions I could online. But nothing worked. Maybe they fixed it with firmware update by now (for those affected like I was), Idk. Its been since January.
Decided to pay more and go back to ASUS (AX + Merlin). It's just so much more stable. I like that I can just turn it on, set it up, and never worry about it again.

Anyone have this router and can comment on performance? I have a lot of home automation devices along with the regular stuff (TVs, laptops, gaming devices) and my current router usually needs to be reset at least once a week.

UI a bit slow, check for new firmware DOES NOT work. There was an update out there had to manually download and issue an update. V1.0.3.96_2.0.59
annoying that they try to sell the Netgear Armor utility

1) can't seem to disable the buttons on the front panel and my toddler loves to press them and turn off the wifi.
2) off-site management seems to require the mobile app.
I like netgear and specifically I think their app for management works well enough. Haven't used others to compare. Really hope it can keep a stable connection
