6 year old tech. Any feedback from SDers who have this?

Also, delivery is 4+ weeks out. Does Amazon even have these to sell currently, or are they waiting for a huge batch of units to be "refurbished"?

Short range, in most cases reliable, not for anyone with internet over 500Mbps as it does not really take full advantage of anything over 500Mbps. People in the same room as a router unit will get around 450Mbps and people not close to it probably will average between 250-300Mbps.

For $100 you are getting really close to the spend another $50 and get a wifi 6 kit mesh brand new from another brand when on sale and it will run circles around this.

Not on sale currently but the netgear nighthawk mesh was pretty good for the price. At one point they were $100 at walmart, currently $180 for BNIB.

I received my refurb mesh a few days ago. So far it's been solid. The one that is inside cramped in-wall network box runs a bit hot, which makes me want to install a fan on it, but otherwise it runs without issues. Easy to set up. It came with 3 units, but I only ended up needing 2 for a 3100sqft two story home. The signal is strong anywhere in the house.

I recommed this unless you have internet that actually runs at gigabit speeds. I decided on this rather than the Eero 6 that was also on Slickdeals because 1) this was 30% of the price, 2) I would get no benefit from paying for Wifi6 right now, 3) By the time I need Wifi 6, it will be a lot cheaper and there will likely be something newer.

When did you order your unit? I just ordered the same thing last night and delivery says between July 25-26.

I run plenty of Eero Pro 5s running in an all wireless configuration and they're still pretty solid tech all these years later. You might need an extra base station beyond what you think you'll need, but at $100 per 3 stations that's very cheap to fix. I'd heartily recommend Eero Pro 5s if your internet speeds aren't past 500 Mbps.

I just picked up the single for $34.99 to add to the one we received free from Frontier when we signed back up after trying Tmoble. I'm happy with the router overall but really need 2 even for my 1300 sf home. If a 6 goes on a good sale during the prime day, I'll switch to those and return this 5.

Are there no returns on these? Generally Amazon shows returns/free returns banner.

edit: disregard its regular 30 day

debating this over 6 since it's tri-band.

I just ordered this an hour ago for $149 and now it is $99, but the $99 wont be shipped until end of the month. Most of us dont have Wifi 6. Wifi is 7 out.
