Thumb up to counter the down, not sure why the hate. I have this router and all around it is a very nice and capable router. Haven't had to do regularly restarts; just works.

Not sure why all the early thumb-downs. This was a FP deal at $100 around BF.

Thinking of jumping on it. My Blue Cave is still running solid, and I shouldn't try to fix what ain't broken. But my Gigabit connection's bandwidth is weirdly fluctuating. I am wondering if it's time for a new router. Scratchchin

I would skip this router and get a used or refurbished AX86U or AX86U Pro.

How does a "gaming" router differ from any other? Is it like "gaming" chair vs. comparable office chair?

Ditto. Most stable router I've owned since the venerable 68u (the infamous Tmo crossover router).

Does the blue RGB lights add more performance?

If you stare at it long enough and then to the game you are playing, you get that cool residual effect until you go blind.


The reviews seems to indicate that you'll be taking a big chance on this refurb.

I got this for $100 around BF, no issues. I only use it as a mesh node though.

I also put the Merlin fork on it
